A long wait to see a chiropodist? I got in to see one within 7 days. Sorted out my (many) tootsie ailments in about 30 mins! Also gave me advice on the causes and how to prevent/reduce re-occurrence. Though I did book the appointment direct with a "proper" chiropodist/podiatrist, ie. not a referral through a doctor or one of those fancy nail painting beauty salon types.
