Provider trimmed bilateral ingrown toenails. Please see dictated note:
"Anesthesia with 3 ml of lidocaine without epi used to preform a digital block of the right toe. Anesthesia with 4.5ml of lidocaine without epi used to perform a digital block of the left toe. Adaquate numbness acheived. Tourniquet used to remove blood from the toe. Toe prepped with betadine in a sterile fashion. Nail spliting scissors used to cut away and a hemostat used to remove the 1/3 of the right lateral nail of the right great toe and both lateral nails of the left great toe. Tourniquet removed and normal coloration returned to the toe. Triple antibiotic ointment applied to the surgical site and covered with sterile gauze and secured. Pt tolerated the procedure well."
