Just did an ingrown toenail excision. It went off (or should I say 'came off'?) without a hitch.

Nice way to end the workweek.

The patient came in thinking she was going to have to get a referral to podiatry, and have a few more days of pain to deal with.

"No problem" I said. "I'll take care of it."

My assistant had only helped out with this procedure once before, and was worried how she was going to do. She nailed it. Excuse the expression.

For right now, at least, life is good...
