How Did We Get Here? How Did These Fungal Toenails Become So Severely Overgrown?

[@carmensumlin4294]

Dr. Jefferson, THANK YOU for referring this patient to a primary care physician! So many people are "episodic" patients. They ONLY seek medical care when there is something wrong. When in actuality they could avoid so many issues with "routine care". I am the practice manager for a primary care practice of seven physicians and one mid-level and we see "problems" all the time. Problems that are totally preventable with regular visits and routine care. Preventative medicine is the best medicine!

[@fineweaver]

Doctor, the world needs more human beings like you!

[@jaynedeneen6899]

Dr. Jefferson, you are a saint! I so admire how you are able to put your patients at ease because you never SHAME them. And because of that, they feel comfortable being truthful with you about their life circumstances and that helps them advocate for themselves to move toward getting the assistance they need to improve their care. The world needs more of such compassion. Kudos!

[@ItsMeDee60]

I love the fact that you check on the whole person and not just deal with their feet. I've seen some who only care and talk about a persons feet. Awesome job Dr. Jefferson

[@maryannanderson1744]

Me too

[@laverdadverdadera1451]

He is an angel!

[@christinak2487]

I was thinking the same thing! If he hadn't asked the patient if he was seeing his primary doctor, the patient probably wouldn't of mentioned it & been able to get some information on where to go. Such a caring & compassionate Doctor!

[@farrahc7055]

Just like your regular GP Dr Jefferson can learn about patient's lifestyle as well as their physical and mental wellbeing. Even with the most basic of answers we tell health professionals a lot about ourselves. 39.3.2020

[@bobbibuttons8730]

You really are an angel in disguise the way yo care for your patients in such a holistic manner. I’m sure the gentleman wouldn’t have thought on how to apply the cream using his grabbing stick. When I watch this channel it makes me realise that if my husband passes before me I have no one to check if I can’t manage my feet. We don’t have podiatrists like Dr Kevin. We have chiropodists, none in my town apart from one that I wouldn’t let trim my cats claws after leaving my diabetic Mums feet in tatters and when I took her socks off to see they were stuck to her feet with dried blood. It’s really quite frightening. If I could teleport the good doctor to Scotland I would 😘

[@patriciachuchryk3299]

Doctor, I’ve been following your channel for quite awhile and I am moved and impressed about how deeply you care for and respect your patients, regardless of where they come from. What an incredible gift to the universe you are! Thank you for what you do for your patients.

[@VLClement]

Our elderly really do need an extra level of care. I hope he keeps his next appointment and find him a good P.C. who is as compassionate as you are Doc. God Bless.

[@TinfoilHatWearer]

Man oh man... You never fail to make me happy Dr. Jefferson... With the transformation of neglected feet, and the compassion you have for ALL of your patients. You deserve a humanitarian award or somethin man. No joke!

[@lorettalouvros207]

You are hands down the BEST foot doc I have ever seen! So knowledgeable, calm, respectful, kind and caring. You are truly one in a million. It is a treat watching you work miracles one patient at a time✌️🌸

[@britney5238]

I love how caring and gentle and non judgmental you are with your patients.

[@debraromero4361]

I feel so bad for this gentleman. Wish his children would visit more often and help him. Sad he's alone. Thank you Doctor . Such a sweet soul you are.👼

[@caseythompson474]

As a former emt, and cna that did care in a specialized Alzheimer’s ward, I thank you for the great care and concern that you provide daily for your great patients. Especially the veterans as my husband has spent more than half of our marriage of 19 years deployed. While I am dependent on an intrathecal pump now to function due to chronic pain and neuropathy due to b12 deficiency due to pernicious anemia, and have been flagged by primary care doctors and no longer able to get care on base. So I’m left with Er and urgent care clinics which don’t provide follow up care which is understandable. Thanks so much and I know God sees you and will bless you richly in wonderful ways!!

[@sabrinawilcher5141]

[@judywalker2849]

Dr. Jefferson you are blessed for taking such great care of your patients ❤

[@AnitaBetterScreenname]

You're a real one Dr J! Thanks for taking such great care of your patients! I'm sure their families are grateful too!

[@rosebud6485]

You are such a kind and caring doctor. Even though the patient hadn’t come in for such a long time, you didn’t judge or berate him. ❤️

[@suzannecrowe7775]

I check my moms feet frequently. She’s 83 but acts ( and looks )about 50:-). She still has lovely toes. Thank you for being so caring with your patients. I appreciate your thorough professionalism and kindness!

[@djparrish2053]

You’re very kind to your patients.

[@Hope2seeU]

I’m in agreement how do we get shoes on? I wish more people would help the elderly. 😞 Thank God for doctors like you 🙂

[@yolly2292]

You know exactly the right questions to ask, Dr!

[@ancientsgate]

I just wish I could have heard the answers. I have hearing issues and couldn't understand a word the patient said. Sigh.

[@lulunz6809]

The work you do is so important. The way you talk to your clients is so kind and non judgemental. Many health professionals could learn a lot from you. I have learnt so much from what you have said and I can tell you look out for your clients overall wellbeing. I have a whole new appreciation for podiatry. In particular I appreciate you. Keep up the wonderful work.

[@christinerobinson890]

I’m a certified nurse aide. I love taking care of my patients’ feet.

[@lilitheden748]

I feel so sorry for this senior. The elderly people are sadly forgotten in this society of being productive. It’s good that he came to see you. You do more than take care of feet. You also take care of the person. I guess that’s what makes you such a good doctor.

[@tiffanyc2407]

I love how much you care about your patients. I can hear the passion when you get upset. Thank you Doctor.

[@katherinecalderon50]

Wow what a transformation. You asked all the appropriate questions. All that you did for this patient will help him with better quality of life. Thank you for what you do for your patients.

[@bratkat4005]

Pt. Advocacy!! The care your pts receive is amazing! Big heart Doc, big heart!. Glad you are on top of helping this person get their medical needs met. I.e. meds. Bravo Doc bravo!

[@thecomeaufamily]

Poor fella, depressed. God bless Dr Jefferson, who's taken charge of his wellbeing, when he cant.

[@lesliesvaping8794]

I wish I could find someone in my area that would take the time and caring you show your patients. You are wonderful and the work you do is just mind blowing I love it.

[@minnie7700]

I feel so sad for elderly people who have no one to help them. The care and compassion you show your patients is truly amazing. All medical students should watch and learn from your videos.

[@denaadams6818]

You just changed this mans life. You are a caring doctor and a blessing to your patients. Thank you for educating us and taking us on this journey. I learn something with each one of your videos. ❤️

[@soca58]

Hello Doctor Jefferson. I'm so touched by your tenderness towards this gentleman. Please update us on his progress and let us know if there is any way we can help him. God bless you.

[@robertaprince180]

This person needs your expertise so much! Great work I'm sure this person is feeling so much better. Thank you

[@hell0hkitty]

sounds like this poor man has neglected his health for some time. it comes with being old and alone and no one to lend a hand or take interest. glad he made it to your place.

[@vincentschreiber9496]

You are a kind, empathetic and wonderful foot Dr and man. All my best. Sincerely, old white guy.

[@marianhoblyn1901]

Love the way you are so kind and respectful to your patients.

[@laquanawelcome3898]

Dr Jefferson you are a god send his feet look amazing and I know he feels so much better, thank you sir god bless the patient and you too

[@brendajames9619]

I’m impressed with your care of trimming this patient’s nails. You literally gave him a pedicure. Your technique is different than other Podiatrist I’ve seen on KZbin! Keep up the excellent care and continue to be kind and concerned with your patients!

[@Sdgsmith92]

God bless you Doc. You’re probably the only care (in many ways) some of these elderly people get. It’s so sad how many “orphaned elderly” people are in our country. Always enjoy your videos.

[@LoCaCe1]

This gentleman broke my heart. Let down by the system & his family. No self worth & low self esteem. It’s terribly sad. Thank you for investing in him as a whole person. You go above & beyond for your patients. Love your work 🙏🏼

[@whitethorn1969]

Can you imagine the relief this gentleman must have felt. Wonderful as usual Dr Kevin!

[@tmon4819]

Awww I feel so bad for elderly people, especially when they have no one checking in on them...great work doc...

[@4591mazda]

Doctor Thank you for taking care of this man. You always show compassion for each and every person that comes to see you again Thank you

[@loumorrell61]

That was one of the best video you made.

[@vegasrenie]

I like how he has many (if not most) patients soak their feet before treatment. It seems to be less painful for them and easier for him to treat them. Just an observation.

[@iride454]

Back to the Dremel eh? Hopefully that room just doesn’t have your other drill and you’re not having issues with it. But I’ve got to say out of any doctor on KZbin you are the most thorough. Being a paraplegic and not being able to care for my feet, I really wish I lived in the dc area to see you instead of my current podiatrist.

[@sunni1ib691]

Nice work as always Dr J. You stated he hadn’t been to your office in 18 mos, was he a patient of yours previously? From what I could gather, he lost his drivers license, and he lives alone. Does he receive his healthcare at a county clinic? He needs home health care since he doesn’t have any family locally. This poor fellow needs a lot of help!

[@artiemeasiadove5528]

WOW such thorough and caring job. Just like you've stated on a previous video we should check our elderly loved ones feet. I pray he gets someone to help him out.

[@joshthomas8704]

You are wonderful Dr. Your patients are blessed to have you

It always amazes me what a difference you make on people's feet . I know it changes their lives. I don't wonder how people let their feet get in such bad shape, it's called being human .

[@chelseasummers2365]

You are such a caring and compassionate doctor. You take the time to listen, ask questions and treat your patients with such dignity. BTW, I love the sound your sharp nail nippers make.

I hope a referral was done to some social services agency for this gentleman. It sounds like he may not be eating well, definitely not taking required medications and seeing his doctors and especially this issue with his feet. I feel so sorry for him and hope he gets help soon

You are such a wonderful Doctor. You’re so kind and caring. I love how you gently guestion your patient to find out about their care. Then you do something about it. It breaks my heart that this sweet, sweet man was wearing shoes two sizes too big because of his painful toenails. You are blessed beyond words.

[@lakiathompson1852]

🎶🎤How did we get here🎶🎤Nobody suppose to be here🎶my heart said no no🎶 or whatever Deborah Cox was singing. Bless his heart thank God he's now about to get that help with his feet. Life does happen and it is sad when you need help and have to wait to get needed medications or postpone medical treatment of any kind do to hardships life will place on you on you form time to time. Thanks Dr. Jefferson's🤜🏽🤛🏽 for being a humble caring an empathic Dr. your helping your patients with more than just their footcare needs being present to just listen to them share good, bad news too easing their embarassment and shame for not being able to care for themselves. Boost their confident in people that some people still care in the cruel world and want to see you win in life .
