Verbatim, this is what I got:
"He has six verrucae that have been constant, with a severe case of Athlete’s foot, and a fungus with an infection in his webspaces of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd intermetatarsal spaces, with welts of verrucae running longitudinally just superior to the webspaces."
I'm not sure, but I think a sentence this long should be against the law. Plus, it means the dude's foot is nasty. When did dear Dr. X have time to catch his breath before the next run-on sentence?? And even though it checked up okay on my spellcheck, I am willing to bet some cash that "longitudinally" ain't a word. Just sayin'. Yep, tonight I am Grammar Nazi.
Anyways, I am pulling my hair out, and sharing with you. They really should make grammar classes a MUST in med school... Okay, okay... I know they do, but apparently doctors don't pay attention in those classes.
....and then there were 5.
