"I am going to prepare the feet for electrology. Now I've notices that Pam has an injury on her toe. It's an ingrown toe nail. So I am going to clean that area and I am going to put a band aid on it. And plus I am going to stay away from that injury because basically I don't want to complicate things. So I just be you know I am always called concerned when I see something like this coming into the office this kind an injury. Or any kind open wound I am going to cover it up. Just for safety, for me as well as the client. So we are going to just protect and cover this area because of contact of germs in bacteria and things the client might have. And then plus I don't want to contaminate her area of injury with my skin. Even though I am wearying gloves and I've sterilized myself, I still want to work really clean. You know clean, clean, clean you can't be clean enough in a medical office. Than I am going to clean the area with alcohol. I've notices that Pam needs a pedicure. We are going to have to use Expert Village.com and do our next segment on pedicures. But now we are ready to work."
