Chapter Four

The Evil Podiatrist, guns blazing, leapt through a brick wall and influenced the tortoises to follow everyone around.

With the soft flutter of a petal landing upon a silk pillow, William Carlos Williams came in through the floor. 'So much depends upon a red wheel barrow glazed with rain water beside the white chickens,' he screamed, throwing a tenpin.

'There is currently no evidence that shows that an arthroereisis works just as well in a transverse plane as an Evans calcaneal osteotomy,' said the Evil Podiatrist as he made everything pink, 'or that an Evans calcaneal osteotomy works better.'

'The sky has given over its bitterness,' said William Carlos Williams, bending time with a fork. 'Out of the dark change all day long rain falls and falls as if it would never end.'

'With the equinus, when there is hypermobile pronation and the calcaneus is very everted,' declaimed the Evil Podiatrist as he sank his thumbnails into William Carlos Williams' eyeballs, 'correction of the calcaneal eversion moves the Achilles tendon insertion from lateral to medial, eliminating the deforming pronatory forces and essentially lengthening the Achilles tendon.'

'Aaargh,' said William Carlos Williams.

The Evil Podiatrist threatened to shave everyone's head if they weren't good. Then he left town, cackling maniacally, 'When unlocking the lateral column, it is hypermobile as one transfers weight from the rearfoot to the forefoot. The Achilles is pulling up, plantarly subluxing the talus and the calcaneus on the forefoot. That is a subluxatory force. If there is no other reason to cause pronation, most tight heel cords, such as those we see with athletes, will cause them to pop off their heels early in gait so there is the early heel off and supination.'
