Is this a secret used by sadistic podiatrists that should not be allowed?

Asked by Aster (20023points) March 6th, 2014

In a nursing home near our town a podiatrist (foot surgeon) is able to notice all ten of a patient’s toes going bad (yellowing). He takes an instrument that grasps the ends of each nail at once and rips all ten nails off at once. The patient screams out in pain and he’s off to the next patient. He goes to half a dozen nursing homes and he is able to visit Hawaii, Austria for skiing and just returned from riding camels in Egypt. Do you think this is cruel, par for the course, professional necessity or have you not heard about it?
