Interesting

So it was that I recalled my physiological reaction to the attending physician who along with a group of medical students accompanying him on his daily rounds had gathered around the foot of my bed and he seemed to be asking a lot of questions to the students while at the same time he was physically examining me. He asked me how I was doing so I told him, " I'm doing okay". Then I show him the toe. He looks at it and then asks the students to examine what appears to be some abnormality apparently. This digit at the end of my foot was covered by a group of students and some uninvited spore producing organisms which apparently feed on organic matter like the tip of a toe nail. Together the group looked at the nail one by one then stepped away until the next student and then the next managed to see for themselves. Then the physician inquired to the interns "Is it the type found on the skin or the type found on the nail? He told the students it's medical name, "onychomycosis". He looked at the toe once again before he moved on his brief inauspicious statement summarized the big picture. "Interesting".
