    I have worked for over thirty years at my city centre practice. I suffer from very little work related stress for a number of reasons: if I treat every patient (many very elderly) to the very best standard with scalpel work, peri-ungual nail work, then silicone toe orthoses and palliative insoles and shoe advice, then the outcome, whatever the age of the patient, is positive. In fact my patients often comment that the only part of their bodies that seems to continually improve, is their well-maintained feet.
    If I have worked effectively, be it nail surgery or verrucca treatment or a referral to another specialist, then I can go home from work and not have to worry about my patients.
    I will sound unbearably smug now, but my patients trust in my care for them, and so are willing to pay well for their treatment, so not too many financial problems either.
    Compared to, for example dentists, we are allowed an enormous amount of autonomy, so as long as we and our colleagues police ourselves effectively, podiatry should be a fairly stress-free profession.
