Black Mold located under Fungal Toenail: Black Moldy Toenail:

[@SparrowStockwell]

Poor man. I can hear depression in his voice. When you feel that way, the last thing you can think about is your toenails. You are making him feel so much better with your treatment and your kindness.

[@joycrockett5607]

Thank you for being a wonderful doctor who took the time to help this man

[@miqeyt3317]

Yea, I was thinkin he might not have a spouse to help him out more too

[@redbonescorpio79]

Your bedside manner never changes no matter the situation. Truly a compassionate professional. Awesome job Dr. Jefferson.

[@shicks0053]

Yes!!!

[@rachaelkirkendohl1742]

I really appreciate how this doctor educates his patients without causing embarrassment. He speaks so kindly while clearly managing a complex case with this gentleman's feet.

[@nancyedwards5034]

He is a wonderful foot doctor i watch and i have learned so much from him i take care of my elderly parents feet thanks to him i make them feel so good Thank u doctor Jefferson.

[@dianekelley6559]

What compassion. A fine doctor and human being.

So nice to hear and see the patient being spoken to and treated so kindly , He sounded so much happier at the end of his treatment ... I admire the way you approach your patients and also how precise you are , not rushing anything ... You know exactly what needs doing and how to approach the issue

[@yootoob2]

It is so humbling to see a Dr rubbing and massaging a patient's foot (whether its medicine or lotion). This would be considered a nurse's job or a nurse's assistant job. So it's very humbling to see this.

[@nancymcbride7153]

The doctor definitely serves his patients. Very humbling indeed. ❤️

[@luzbadillo8512]

👍🏽

[@joycecourts7403]

He’s the best foot Dr for sure

[@fyandrews]

My heart goes out to this man. He is suffering mentally, which has affected his concern to take care of himself. I hope your encouragement will enable him to continue his treatment with you, and other health professionals he needs.

[@christyinthecarolinas]

My husband has severe ocd. Not the kind that people like to throw around loosely but the real deal. He uses hand sanitizer at least 50 times a day and washes his hands that much if not more. He has a real issue with feet and refuses to touch them. So I make sure that I take care of his feet every day for him. I love him so I can't imagine not doing it. He can't help his mental illness, so I refuse to ever let his feet end up like this poor mans. God bless you doctor for all that you do for your patients!

[@leewitte4580]

I have nothing but respect for you Doc for your kindness and patience with this gentleman! As always you do not blame the patient or make him feel bad about the condition of his feet and that is so important! Keep up the good work!

[@kathygardner8964]

You genuinely care about your patients, and it shows, Dr J

[@calynnie]

My goodness...all my years in nursing I don't think I've ever witnessed mold under toe nails!!😱

[@Pamela6743]

I love how you help ppl. You Sir are an angel. 👼🏻❤️❤️❤️

[@dianemichel7824]

My dr has been urging me to ge to the podiatrist....type 2 diabetic and badbtoes run in my family...i dont want black mold....this scared me into making that appt. Ty from chicago

[@Coredance1]

Literally had another Doc 3 minutes in their vid... I saw you pop up and bailed..You teach lay people proper foot care..It's appreciated.

[@Mephibosheth52]

I’m a veteran and use Walter Reed, but if I didn’t have a podiatrist there I’d be first in line at your clinic. You’re a great Dr.

[@blondiegurl8348]

I mean I love it when Doc says “See all this loose stuff that’s coming out?” YES! YES WE DO!! Keep curetteing that build up out of there for us! We love it!!!

[@SparrowStockwell]

Blondie Gurl Exactly!

[@jacquelineyvonnehall2282]

What the heck!

[@ambiava123]

Blondie Gurl....You know we some sick something else's when we enjoy watching this kind of stuff. Nonetheless, I'm with you. It beats any reality show that's out there for entertainment 🤗

[@q4purdy]

Blondie Gurl Right!! I’m like get it out of there!!!

[@nursejenna09]

Yes girl! In fact, hand me the curette. I’d love to clean it out myself!

[@janetthomas8917]

Oh lord he has mold under his toenail. Thank you Dr for helping him ❤️🙏

[@tinaarena2588]

I love how u use different drill bits, I've never seen mold before that was a new one for me, great job doc, plus you don't judge... 👍👍

[@hell0hkitty]

this poor soul might be schizophrenic as he mentioned his once a month injection. god knows if he's homeless, walking the streets, etc. he seems unwell. glad he made it to your clinic doc.

[@germaineaguilar6762]

Meds make you so tired, that's why so many don't want to take it, might need a dosage adjustment

[@k.morton7283]

I would agree 👍🏽

[@natalielarson5691]

Oh my word, if I'd had mold under my toenail, I'd have wanted the whole thing removed right then and there! Dr, your bedside manner is incredible, and you are so very skilled, with great attention to detail. Thank you for all you do, and for inspiring myself to ensure my loved ones' feet are looked after 😊

[@allisonphillips-mcclure6256]

Praying that this man continues to get the help that he needs both physically and mentally.

[@tylishawilliams105]

My children and I love your work doctor ! You're a great example of a man of color who uses his gift to help all. You really have me thinking about going back to school to be a foot doctor !

[@DCFootDoctor]

Wow, thank you!

[@brittanymarshall5721]

Mold?! 🤢🤮 Dr. Jefferson, you’re the real MVP for this one!

[@huhnurse]

Can we have a follow up video when this person comes back? I would love to see that.

[@beckysmith2346]

I can’t believe this man was in his late 30s. His feet had to hurt with those long nails and the fungus and mold. Glad you are helping him.

[@carmenmonoxide7459]

That was a whole eco-system in the one great toe! I never thought I'd enjoy watching a civilization destroyed.

[@felinek]

Lmao

[@Pasovineyard]

Seems like the nail should be removed. Just seems like grinding on it would through the mold all over the place, including the air.

[@damitascenie4384]

You Sir, are a magnificent doctor with the best bedside manner!

[@decoy8645]

Been in health care over 40 years but this one made me curl my toes and grimace like made. Lord have mercy, moldy feet. You sir are doing the Lords work. Blessings to you. Hope you had a mask on hate to think it went up in your face down to your lungs when you were grinding away.

[@karencarlson8109]

That's right. Jesus touched leprosy for the sake of healing.

[@lilaudrey8]

Whoa! That black stuff! Poor man! So glad he is seeing you, and I hope he takes care of his feet/comes back!

[@chelseasummers2365]

I just love the sound of those nail nippers and how sharp they sound. This was a great video, you did such an amazing job!

[@soca58]

DOCTOR: So have theses toes been hurting a lot? PATIENT: Off and on ME: (gets hang nail) Doc imma need a cast, crutches and 500 Tylenol! Stat!

[@atrinibeauty]

😆😆😆

[@vhardin2020]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰

[@MygovernmentNameisLondon]

Healthcare is so expensive, some people are forced to suffer through!! Im almost certain his toes were extremely uncomfortable & he suffered through!

[@l.t.9659]

Lol😂😂😂

[@gailsnyder210]

Socagyal that would be me too! Cut my nail too short and I want a wheelchair or scooter!

[@yogidemis8513]

What makes a good Doctor is compassion and caring & understanding. Needs to be more Doctors out there like this man. My last Doctor was rude as shit he rushed me thru the appointment and cut me off when asking questions and was just snarky. It seemed like my medical issue was a big inconvenience to him or something. I found a new Doctor and seen him for the first time last week and he's freaking awesome! I hope this patient is well and get his feet up too par soon. Stay healthy everyone!!

[@PABrightlyColoredCutie]

Doc your attention to detail and the patient way you talk to your patients is one of the reasons I keep coming back to this channel! You really have a very calming and caring bedside manner. I would entrust my loved ones to your care in a minute!

[@laurawilliams5363]

Your camera person does a great job of getting close ups! Thank you for the work you do!

[@kimberlystone3987]

Your attention to detail is amazing, job well done Dr

[@MissNaturalMystery]

Injections for mental health ☹️. Struggling with mental health issues would probably put foot care at the bottom of his list of priorities.

[@macmike8329]

Such a shame imo...

[@heidithaw1072]

Thank You so much for caring.

[@fayepinkerton1550]

Yr special Dr...how did u keep a straight face when he didnt want to touch th mold..After all yr work on him yr starting again another slow process. He really needs you .Bless yr patience with him...

[@maryjoev64]

The black debris was a surprise!!!!!

[@njz1952]

He never berates on belittles anyone. Kind but informative to the level of each patient. When someone wants to learn, he teaches instead of informing. An interesting man, good doctor. I wish he could have been my husband’s doctor!

[@heatherbell3819]

I thought he was about to leave that little bit of mold and then he went back in with the clippers and I was like YES!!! Never leaves me wanting lol

[@beckysmith2346]

I was begging him to cut that piece in my head the whole time.

[@jujuandwamwams165]

[@erinnorwood6124]

Just take the whole nail

[@genevievedarrett3163]

[@ImaCynomingirl]

You are an Amazing Doctor!! And probably one of the most non-judgemental humans I have ever seen. You are quickly becoming a candidate for my list of Top Ten Doctors I would love to have a conversation with about how you were raised and how you became who you are now, who inspired you, where did you get your unbelievable work ethic because you take your time and you leave NOTHING UNDONE!! And that would make me do the Happy Dance if I could still do the Happy Dance!!! I have heard a podiatrist say that soaking feet in the office has become a thing of past but yet I see you do it all the time, and a few others handling it too! That is just one example. I love that you clean toe jam, and I think others are starting to do that as well, especially the ones I watch that I really enjoy and respect and that is a great thing at least I believe for the patient and those who watch dig it a lot as well! You are just so consistent in your work and I know your patients are just so lucky! Ok was gonna write a two liner but I went crazy again!! Take care and stay safe in these trying times Dear Doctor!!

[@queenelizabeth7052]

If you were around when my Mom was still with us, I would have driven her from Maine to DC to see you! Thank you for all you do ✌️

[@lbea4659]

Keep educating us. It's so needed. Thank you over and over again.

[@GirlAJ-ff2lv]

Thank you so much for your kindness doctor. I cant imagine the odour coming out from his black toe, must be 'sting' and yet you keep your manners and treated him with kindness....bravo Doc👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@3j4i6j0i]

This aspect of medical care is vital, yet under appreciated. Older folks often have restricted vision and range of motion limitations that make safe cutting of toenails challenging and inadequate finances that prevent regular or timely access to needed podiatric care.

[@Richpo6464]

You’ve got the most interesting patients.

[@honeyali9687]

Doc is so patient and professional.

[@alisonjohnson287]

I like how you talk shop with your patients, explaining how foot issues occur and how to treat them. I always come away with more knowledge on foot care every time I watch your videos. It’s a great learning experience for me as I am a Type II diabetic and am always checking my feet. Keep on teaching, Dr. DC. God sure has bless you with tins gift 🙏🏾

[@normarodriguez5535]

Hahahaha😷😫

[@karissam.7030]

I TOTALLY Understand his Foot Condition now when he said @ around 1:40 in the video that he didn't get to finish the fungal treatment bc of they wanted to change the med due to a mental health med he was taking (so probably drug-drug interaction). God Bless Him bc Mental Health is a SERIOUS ISSUE that can lead to other things lacking. Many BLESSINGS to You Doc As ALWAYS for the Kindness & Care you give to each of your patients.🙏🏼❤🙏🏼

[@darlaharrison334]

Wow! Mold under his toe nail. I wonder how that happens. Good for you Doc for fixing him up

[@molrynorman2256]

This Doctor has the best manner with his patients. He is respectful and kind in all of his patient interactions, yet he clearly explains what the problems are and is supportive and firm about recommended treatments. He is non-judgmental, which allows his patients to open up to him so he can help them.

[@kathrynmettelka7216]

Thank you for caring for this man. Mental and physical health cannot be separated. "Traveling" clearly meant homeless.

[@paulacochran3424]

You are a kind doctor to give information but never shame your patient.

[@cinnamon6196]

I love the fact you are pampering him 🥰 god bless you & your family.

[@gattamom]

Is there any risk of spreading the fungus from infected toes to unaffected ones by using the same instruments on them without sanitizing first?

[@annaharies4450]

Did u say “mold”?!

[@LeftHookDeadly280]

Yes he did indeed

[@loriflynn78]

He's going to feel so much better, beautiful work doctor.

[@portiamatthews9654]

Dr. Jefferson is very informing and I have learned so much from watching his videos. Also, I think a lot of these types of issues happens because the patients are elderly, may have a problems with their lower back and probably doesn't dry their feet off well which is why these problems occurs. Especially with men who seemed to be the ones who experience this occurrence. It's essential to keep your feet well maintained because this may be the end result. If this patient had a small cut or abrasion on or near his feet the bacteria could have entered his body. Which would have been a medical mystery in my opinion. Therefore, it's very important to take great care of your feet. By being properly fitted for your shoes, wear shoes that offers support and comfort, make sure that the soles are not hard bottom, always dry your feet well after your shower/bath to ensure that you won't get a fungus, after the feet are dry use foot powder, wear cotton white socks to bed because this should aid in keeping the feet dry after powdering them and for even more comfort use the gel inserts.

You are a blessing to your patients. And I'm glad you went back for seconds on that big toe!

[@gwenmartinsen3979]

I've been an ER nurse for 28 years. I've seen a lot of feet, including homeless. I have NEVER seen feet like these! The matter under the toenails was horrible. Fungi and mold? Poor guy. That will take a loooooong time to heal.

[@jennbrag7137]

I'm curious, does the debris under the nail keep returning either with or without consistent maintenance?

[@RRED2]

You have a very calming effect towards the people you treat, which l’m sure makes them feel at ease. 👍

[@ilariasenatore1045]

Hi, I'm new on this channel. I'm from Italy so please excuse for my english. Just wondering if you bathe patient's foot before every treatment and which is that spray u use on the right foot of your poor patient, the molded one. Thanx. And may the Goddess bless you and protect u for your wonderful job.

Hello Dr. Jefferson glad to see another one of your video.

[@cynthiar3462]

[@kayedge365]

I really like the way you talk to your patients, you are kind and never talk down to them. Their home foot care is not good and you never make them feel bad about their hygiene.

[@jrhoover3119]

Won’t you spread the fungus by using the same clippers on the healthy toenails and the fungus toe nails?

[@TwoRunawayOldFolks]

I have got to make an appointment with my therapist as soon as this stay-in-place order is over. Craving and salivating with anticipation while waiting for more nasty, gross, yucky feet and toe videos cannot be normal. In the meantime, keep them coming!

ShaRon Lewis-Conway. You are not alone. Lots of us live for these videos. Are you interested in pimple popping? There are legions of us pop aholics as well.

Do you need to clean the clippers when going from a fungus toes to a normal one?

[@debrahudson6324]

Well you can't change toes and they all go in the same shoe. So one can only do so much. Does your dentist use a different tool to clean all of your teeth, or just clean the ones that need it the most? I stay in my lane and let professionals be great at what they do.

[@calibae9741]

God bless you sir. You are so great with your patients. When using the Dremel,aren’t you concerned about particles getting into your lungs? I have read that there is a problem with lung damage after doing this for years. You should at least be wearing a mask. I am concerned for your health.
