The Barefoot Nurse

Alright, I'm wearing socks, but isn't that about the same thing as being barefoot? Especially for a nurse?

The shoes that I wore last night have received a good amount of wear and tear. That's why it was so surprising when one shoe began hurting so much. When the pain became unbearable, I removed my shoes and put on patient socks. The rest of the shift, I worked with nothing between my bare feet and the scary carpet but a layer of knit fabric. Do you think that it's safe to bleach feet?

When I got home, I looked at my foot and found an abscess on the sole. I performed some minor surgery and found a splinter that had become infected. Hopefully, I got it all. I'm working tonight, so I really hope that I'm able to wear shoes.
