It's cameras on for Drs. Brad Schaeffer and Ebonie Vincent as they solve some of the most confounding and ex- treme cases of podiatric prob- lems we — and they — have ever seen. Sure to be a parade of rare and strange medical maladies, Season 3 premieres Wednesday, Aug. 4, on TLC. "My Feet Are Killing Me" follows Dr. Ebonie Vincent at her West Coast podiatry prac- tice in California and Dr. Brad Schaeffer at his East Coast practice in New Jersey. Despite their geographically distant lo- cations, together the pair transform the lives of patients suffering from serious foot problems across the country. The season premiere, titled "Hellish Horns," says it all. The first episode follows a man who is growing horns from his toes and a woman whose foot suffered major trauma when it went through a windshield. Throughout the rest of the season, viewers are in store for feet with bark-like growths and a woman suffering from Olmstead Syndrome — a con- genital disorder in which a per- son's skin grows and thickens abnormally. The doctors will also treat a patient with a condition so rare that only a handful of people in the world have been diag- nosed with it. (Audiences can only assume that whatever it is, one of the doctors will per- form a life-changing procedure as they have been wont to do many times during past sea- sons.) Drs. Brad and Ebonie and their teams have treated every- thing from bunions and in- grown toenails to plantar warts and extra toes since the series began last year. Viewers watched Dr. Brad treat one of the worst cases of foot fungus he's ever seen; people suffer- ing complications from extra- long toes and large feet; and he's even worked with a pa- tient who'd been giving him- self amateur foot surgeries in his own bathroom. Meanwhile, audiences have joined Dr. Ebonie as she has taught people how to walk again following their recon- structive procedures — some of them intensive surgeries on people whose feet are their livelihood: dancers and ath- letes. (Fans may remember the touching highlight from Sea- son 1 when she delicately op- erated on a toddler born with 12 toes.) And though the show may not tout her as one of the two main doctors, Dr. Sarah Haller has been an integral part of the series since Season 1 as well, having worked with Dr. Brad for years. She officially made her debut in Season 2, han- dling challenging post-op am- putations and high-risk sur- gery. Following this procedure, Dr. Sarah quickly became a fan favorite, with many excited to see her return for Season 3. As with other television pro- grams in 2020, Season 2 of "My Feet Are Killing Me" looked different from what viewers are used to. The COV- ID-19 pandemic resulted in in- novations in the telehealth field, and fans got a first-hand look at what it's like for pa- tients with serious foot prob- lems who have to meet over a camera. But these virtual consulta- tions didn't stop progress. As patients lifted up their feet on one screen, the doctors gave feedback from another. We don't have any leads on whether the show will contin- ue with this format into Season 3, but as with anything the doctors do, safety is a top prior- ity. This in mind, "My Feet Are Killing Me's" team of doctors and surgeons have tackled some pretty impressive podiat- ric puzzles — and, no, not just for the sake of TV. Dr. Ebonie even addressed this as she demonstrated how to wash up before surgery, which called out and put all other TV drama- tizations of the process to shame. Like Dr. Sandra Lee from TLC's "Dr. Pimple Popper," the trio are certified medical professionals with years of ex- perience and an impressive track record in the field. Dr. Ebonie received her doc- tor of podiatric medicine de- gree at Des Moines University in Iowa and trained under some of the top professionals in adult and pediatric limb- lengthening practices, bone defects and foot deformities (among others). She holds sev- eral specialties, including dia- betic limb salvage, minimally invasive surgical techniques and reconstructive foot and ankle surgery.
