Dr. Kennedy:
I have broken the middle toe on my left foot. My question is do I tape it to the second or fourth toe, or don’t tape it at all? So far my treatment has been three ibuprofen and one glass of pinot noir. Thanks in advance, Dan.
UPDATE: Broken Toe photo below the fold.

Not much you can do about it, just tape it until it hurts less and wait. Thanks to High School wrestling I’ve broken most of my toes multiple times. The little buggers on the end are rotated 90 degrees. What’s the worst that can happen, you have ugly feet same as everyone who was ever born?

Tape it to the next toe. Two glasses of Pinot Noir are a minimum.

I can tell you what not to tape it to.

Reminds me years ago when I was skiing, managed to break my knee ligament – could feel the joint wobbling around – tried a glass of scotch ;-)
Dr Kennedy – do you have Dan’s billing address? ;-)

Sorry about your toe, Dan.

I hope it heals up ok.
I broke the small toe on my right foot tears ago and it still hurts from time to time.

Tape the wine glass to your hand so that it is instantly available, and forget about the toe.

DHL – the best advice yet!

Jezzy’s medical advice:
Step 1: open google browser
Step 2: type in taping broken toe
Step 3: http://www.ncemi.org/cse/cse0929.htm
Step 4: look at the What not to do section first
Step 5: tape wine bottle to hand not foot.

Dan – I just noticed something that we both have in common.
Out “big toes” are not the biggest.
Are we genetic anomalies?
