Jose Guillen, Toe Surgeon
Jose Guillen removed his own ingrown toe nail:
"The doctor saw me (Wednesday)," Guillen said, "and he said we'll see how it feels in the morning. If it wasn't any better, he wanted me to have surgery. I thought, 'Whoaaa.'
"So I went on my own (Wednesday) to the pharmacy, got some tweezers, came home and pulled it out myself. Let me tell you, I cried. I had one tough hour. But I got it out."
Guillen said the nail had hooked and twisted deep into the skin.
"I reached in there (with the tweezers)," he said, "and poked around until I got the end of it. Then I counted one, two, three and just pulled .... Oh, my God. It came out, but tears were running down my cheeks."
There's no crying in baseball!
I wonder if he'll apply to medical school when his career is over?

I suspect Dr. Jose Guillen's bedside manner would be somewhat lacking.
