Morton’s Toe on National Radio Show, People’s Pharmacy
Good news! I will be on the wonderful national radio show People Pharmacy. This is the second time I have been on the show. This first time was June 2006. As before, I will be talking about the Morton’s Toe , (Long Second Toe). You can listen live on Aug 15 at 7 a.m. or hear the rebroadcast on Aug 16 at 6 p.m. via www.wunc.org, or on whatever public radio station carries the show on the near you.
In my book Why You Really Hurt: It All Starts In The Foot, I tell a interesting story about People Pharmacy. Here I reprint it from the book
In June of 2006, I appeared on Public Radio’s, People’s Pharmacy, hosted by Joe and Teri Graedon. I was there to discuss Morton’s Toe, its causes and why it could be the long-forgotten reason not only for your foot pain, but for also having pain throughout the entire body. One of the major causes for having a Morton’s Toe is the abnormal condition when the first metatarsal bone is shorter than the second metatarsal bone. Man, I really thought I was doing a wonderful job of explaining this until Joe Graedon reminded me, in a very diplomatic way, that I first needed to describe to the listeners what a metatarsal bone was, and where it was located in the foot. Because I deal with the metatarsal bones daily, I just assumed that everyone knew what they were and where they were located. Of course, I was wrong in this assumption!
