Podiatry
Podiatrists are people that treat the foot. Podiatry is the profession that treats the foot. Podology is the study of the foot. What is so special about the foot? Why not? Other parts of the body have specialists. There are the dentists (for the mouth); the ear nose and throat surgeons (for the ear nose and throat); there are the nephrologists (for the kidney); there are brain surgeons for the brain); there are cardiologists (for the heart). It just goes to show how complex the foot is that a whole profession is devoted to it. There is just so much that can go wrong with the foot as its a weightbearing organ.
