    A true story.

    Moons ago when I worked in the Edinburgh School a patient came for debridment of a pressure ulcer on the plantar of his foot. After many attempts to address the gapping wound the client solved the problem by serendipidy. Accidently he stood barefoot on a "Newbury Fruit sweet '(very sweet candy with citrus flavoured liquid inside.) The chap was so convinced he had discovered the cure, he always brought a sweet for redressing. Without question his ulcer appeared to respond better than the conventional treatments had achieved. We lost contact until a colleague at the Durham School gave a clinical report of his history (The chap had moved cities and was now attending the Durham School clinic). Transpired they had experiemented with the choice of sweet from the Newberry Fruit collection and found only the lemon flavoured candy had the desired effect.

    The patient was an academic and wrote up his own case history.

    Never a dull moment in podiatry
