When the Dr asked the son do you have it & he responded: not like that! It sounds like he should have his feet checked asap 🥶

I can imagine the pain this poor guy endured over the years😢 Doctor you’re a blessing ❤

28 years old when it started! Amazing how long a man will ignore pain and suffering and keep on trucking.

my heart goes out to this father and son. to see the son in tears for his father is heartbreaking. I hope things go well for both of them going forward.

I imagine how much this man sufferd all that years. It is satisfying to see him after surgery, he is releived and happy.

This Dr. is always so humble, "I'm a little nervous, not sure how to do this, but I'm going to do what we can". Then, he goes into the OR and works absolute miracles of surgical skill for his patients. It's amazing. He's amazing. And his patients get their life back.

I love how the son is with his Dad through all of this ❤!

I work as an ER nurse, and about 8 months ago, I had a patient come in who had something very similar. In addition to this, he also had open bleeding sores on his feet too. Unlike this patient in the video, he said that he didn't have any pain. As a side note, the smell was almost intolerable. It was like a combination of a strong pungent cheese (fungus) and rotting tissue (necrosis).

When he asked the son, “do you have this?” The son replied “not like that”. So that makes me think that he does have it.

An outstanding Dr. who obviously cares about his patients and they’re treatment.

I love how these docs do the best and dont shame no one real profesional!!!❤

So happy for this guy... he's not a whole lot older than me. I had this med sliver on the bottom on my foot once, and it caused a build up (nothing even close to this) of calloused skin, so it was like walking on a sharp rock all the time. That was painful. I can't even imagine, no, I don't want to imagine, what that felt like for him. I'm just glad he got relief. Feet are so important.

What an amazing result! And the best news came at the end, with the lab results. I was bracing myself for a diagnosis of warts, tree-man syndrome, or even cancer. So when the doctor gave them the news that it was benign it was such a wonderful moment. 🙂👍

I’m so happy for him! Now he can go on freely with his days. Thank u doc.

Doctors so dedicated and kind

the doctor is a very gracious compassionate person :)

That was epic! Thank you so much for helping this man and doing the surgery in a sterile setting. You're the man Doc!

I'm never admitting to anyone that I actually watch this and definitely never admitting that it was TOTALLY satisfying 😂

Thank God for this Doctor. He did an awesome job. 👍🏽👍🏽.

Great work doctor.

Salute the Doctor here🙏❤ quite unimaginable to make this man bring back his confidence in such rare skin genetic condition!!!

I can not imagine walking on feet like that. Glad he got help.

The doctor did an amazing job. What an awesome doctor

Can we get a little recognition for the son 😂 Clearly so uncomfortable and grossed out yet eager to help his dad and be there for him.

The son smiling next to the dad made me really happy there at the end. I hope that's a sign his son will be there for him and always take good care of him.

Good to see this man could be helped. A lot of illness may not be curable but like his treatable with a positive outcome for him.

Doc, God bless you. For helping .

The sense of humor from these Doctors 😂

Bless his heart! That poor poor man. I’m so happy for him that he was able to get the help he needed!!

That was some hard work for Dr. Brad. I hope that Basil is doing well. Such a nice guy!

Wow, Amazing Amazing facts of the feet I never heard of before & I'm 5 yrs. older than the patient U learn something New every day !

Walking was painful. Now, he can dance. After years of pain, fear and loss of mobility, this man can put it behind him. It's great to see a doctor making such a positive difference in someone's quality of life.

I love how the cameraman is having his own modern family moments with those close up frames

Fantastic work Doctor. You are awesome. I am so happy you were able to assist him. God bless you.

Thank you for him

To be this kind of doctor takes a very strong mindset, to be a person watching this all the way through takes a very strong stomach.

I've never seen anyone walk with a coral reef, growing under their feet. It looked like a coral reef; under his feet! This gentlemen, is blessed to have his handsome son by his side; taking care of him. Thanks to rhe Doctor, he has beautiful new feet! 💜👣💜

Wow he must have felt so much relief. Job well done Doc!

2:31 I love the ominous sound they made when he mentioned surgery. In America that's a financial death sentence for the patient🤣

God, I remember as a child, getting 1 Planters Wart in center of my right foot about the size of a pencil eraser. And man did it hurt to walk. I can’t imagine what kind of pain this poor gentleman is going through. I pray those tissue build ups stay away from him after surgery and monthly treatment visits to shave the bottom of his feet. It’s so terrible not being able to walk….especially at the age if 71 he said😐🙏❤️😞

Dr Brad what a legend he is!

Thank god, someone cares enough to help patients. I have been to a lot of Drs. Of all kinds. And there are not to many Drs.that will take on this mission.

great job my goodness what a difference you made for this man.

So glad for the dad, I can't imagine something like that on my feet. You can see a lot of different stuff in life.

Very cool..helping each other. What a concept!!

Oh my you are an angel that walks this earth. When you first saw his bare feet you didn't make him feel anything other than compassion. You are a truly skilled Dr in your profession. Your videos are educational. Thank you for taking the time. God has blessed you with not only a helping hand, but most importantly a compassionate heart. You obviously had loving parents, remember the apple does not fall far from the tree in your case the feet fit nicely in a pair of shoes.

This is absolutely horrendous. It looks terrible and must be agony. The body never ceases to amaze me with what it’s capable of doing

Good job Dr Bradley and Sarah! Dr Brad always positive and professional! 💪

never have seen anything like this. Thanks for sharing!!

Good grief! There are so many strange things in this world. I was thrown by this one. So glad this gentleman had this taken care of. This doctor made a wise decision. Happy walking.

WOW! THANK YOU, DOC! BLESSINGS!!!! WOW! WELL DONE! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He’s so adorable!

Доктор,вы просто молодец ,спасибо.

What a great doctor with impeccable bedside manner. And... he’s soo handsome! So is Basil’s son! Wow!

When you watch and you think there's no coming back for his poor feet then they completely smash it out the park, I love that

His son's reaction was everything😂😂

not like that?. he better let the doc check.

Great job loved watching. That man looked very happy

It's crazy satisfying watching him removing the disease!!

I really hope that Basil is able to keep that at bay totally. Those cutaneous horns were one of the two most extreme examples of that I have ever seen.. and Dr. Schaeffer treated the woman with the other as well.

"Warm moist cheese" well there goes my appetite for the week

I’m glad this doctor took the proper precautions and held the procedure in a sterile environment.

You did a great job doc!

Doc, you are a saint.

I had similar feet and I used a Palm Sander with Coarse Sandpaper. It helped a lot using coarse sandpaper, skin lotion helped.

Amazing work, Doctor 👌 ❤️

I was binge watching this show and seeing all the foot problems these people have now I don't feel so bad about my feet because I thought my feet were terrible

How wonderful for him.

Awsome job ! You changed a man's life 😊

Sou Katia Finocchiaro. São José do Rio Preto-sp Parabéns Dr! Excelente trabalho. Sou enfermeira e trabalho com uma Dermatologista. Nunca vimos tal situação assim. Excelente trabalho,muito sucesso sempre.

So glad he can be helped🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩💖💖

How does one wait so long for it to get so bad?

Great to see he's doing well!

great job doc

I was an RN for 40 years. I admire you. I can deal with any part of the body better than feet. I was a psych RN and sometimes poor homeless patients had feet that smelled like a dead body. There were fights with other patients if they took their shoes off. It was a battle getting them well enough with their mental health to begin with other things like rotting feet. So terribly sad. I took care of feet along with the rest of course. Bless you for your caring and care.

Oh God I literally can't stop itching I've been scratching through watching this whole episode. I can't possibly imagine what he's been going through all this life. It's traumatizing for all parties involved.

That is AWESOME!!

Great job dr and your team🙌🏾

This is Keratoderma Puncta. It's a hereditary condition where the cells of the outer layer of skin on the soles of the feet renew themselves a lot faster then normal. Normal cell renewal cycle takes 28 days. For patients with this condition, it's down to 4 days. It's not cancer or any other abnormal growing of cells. It's just the cycle being far too fast. There is no cure for this. Only to keep the growth under control, taking away the excess skin regularly to avoid pain. Some patients have this in the palm of their hands too. Tho usually not as bad as the feet.

Holy Moly, I'm happy it's not cancer , it can be controlled,and that Basil can finally polka dance 🕺 the night away.

Great doctor did a perfect job

That was so bad, it gave me chills

Господи , каких только болезней не бывает на белом свете !!!! И люди вынуждены с этим жить !!!!

All I have to say is wow . I was scared for him . I am so happy for the end results

miracle! we love you doctors

Wow incredible amazing The Lord has Bless you with incredible talent. Thank you for sharing. Blessings Be

so glad there was something to help that looks terrifying

Hair raising vid! I have had some type of fungus that makes the skin on my feet thicken in spots and it will peel off like a callous. The Dr prescribed some type of cream that doesn't seem to do much. I have started taking garlic extract vitamins here in the last week or two and it's seeming to get better. In the area where it first started at it's almost gone and the thickening in the other spots aren't as bad.

Este médico é extraordinário..Eu vejo sempre na TV..Como é possível as pessoas terem estás doenças horríveis..❤❤❤

Breathtaking🙏

When I was a kid, there was a kid around the neighborhood that had this on both of his hands and was covered completely on his palm and fingers. (Not the skin side) It was like he was, but wasn’t self conscious about it. He wore sports gloves all the time but had no problem taking them off. He just didn’t like talking about it. We all used to play football and it seemed he could catch just fine. Though I’m sure it probably used to irritate him. Feels like ages ago (Edit) Kinda looked like tree man syndrome but not as narly. Definitely was more tamed but then again he was just a kid then

A follow up video should be in order . Would like to see how things worked out for him.

Impressive work Dr's.

Doctor, bless your heart.

I pray for a complete healing. 🙏 for this man.

I remember this episode and it always bothered me that his son is literally grossed out making fun of his own father saying things that are just not nice when he’s supposed to be there to be comforting, His father wasn’t laughing or smiling so clearly the things he’s saying, the faces and noises are extremely hurtful

I’m glad they figured it out! I hope Basil keeps up with his treatment so he never needs surgery again.

This was weird. I'm glad you could help him!

Excellent result 👍

You did such a wonderful job for this guy Doctor! He will never forget what you did for him. Something like that I'm sure this guy was more than thankful for you removing it! It looked So Horrible before you took all of that stuff off of his feet. Poor guy had to live a long time like that and you brought happiness and positive thinking into his life. You are a great doctor that I personally will never forget 🙂👍
