PODIATRISTS IN THE NEWS

Veteran Praises NV Podiatrist Who Treated Him

 

The following remarks were made by a veteran at President Donald J. Trump's signing of H.R. 5895, "I wish to share with you a personal story. In the last five years, I have had a bleeding ulcer on my toe that we’ve not been able to fix. And because of VA Choice, I’ve been able to — with the support of the Veterans Administration, I’ve been able to find a podiatrist who operated on me 10 days ago.

 

Dr. Wesley Lyon

 

And the man did something that blew my mind. I got home. I took off the boot. There was a little bit of blood, and I called. He came and made a house call. Who does that? (Laughter.) Not anymore, right? Anyway, Dr. Wesley Lyon and his staff are treating me."
