Please pass on if you know him!
Plumber, drives a toyota hiace and was out on a Jp board this evening.
The place that I recommended is this onehttp://www.hamptonpodiatry.com.au/podiatrist-melbourne-podiatrist-hampton-clinic
The guy there is a legend at carving stuff out of feet without hurting you too much.
Hope it works out.
Cheaper to let it get all red, swollen and infected. Pops out real easy with a bit of a squeeze. What's the podiatrist charge though? Maybe it's better than limping around for a week.
You haven't earned the right to call yourself a Ricketts local until you've carved multiple urchin spines from your feet... long hot shower and foot soaking, significant other with a set of tweezers, dettol by the bottle...
The hardcore locals can tell you tales of hospitalisations after stingray piercing's.
(Im just saying!)
Many years ago whilst on a primary school trip i went snorkelling at pt noarlunga in S.A. stepped off the inflatable and staight into a crevice in the reef onto a sea urchin. Lifesavers took me back to shore and dug out the spines. a couple of years later i was digging around a lump in my heel with a pin when some black liquid oozed out gave it a squeeze and out popped another sea urchin spine.
