I saw my Mum’s feet when she took her shoes off at the hospital. Her feet were disfigured. The Consultant told me it was completely due to the shoes she had worn throughout her adult life. This disfigurement is called a bunion. I was shocked! A bunion is something people joke about. I thought it was like a blister or corn or something similar. Why do people joke about this? It is on a par with tight corsets or foot binding in the past. Time something was done about it!
