According to the website eeemusings.com, Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska has a Morton's Toe. In a clearly seen
photo posted on their site, on June 11, 2009 Sarah extra long 2nd toe can easily be seen. In a week where many people questioned her "over the top" reaction to David Letterman's bad joke about her daughter, the verification of Palin having a Morton's Toe may answer some questions about why she did have this reaction.
Dr. Burton S. Schuler, leading expert on the Morton's Toe and it complications and author of the book Why You Really Hurt: It All Starts In The Foot, the story of the Morton's Toe, feels that it is possible that Gov. Palin response may be caused by her Morton's Toe . Dr. Schuler said
" it has been well documented, in numerous medical journals, and textbooks, for over 80 years, that a Morton's Toe can cause many painful conditions of not only the foot but the whole body. The larger question is can the pain and suffering caused by a Morton's Toe be so severe that it causes a person to temporary loose perspective. Dr. Schuler went on to say
"this is important, maybe we can find some grant money to study the true psychology effect the Morton's Toe has on certain people"
In the 1920's and 1930"s Dr. Dudley J. Morton of Yale Medical School and Columbia Medical School wrote that a problem with the 1st metatarsal bone, known as a Morton's Toe could be the reason for most foot problems. Dr. Janet Travel, White House physician to Presidents Kennedy and Johnson, and Professor Emeritus of Medicine at George Washington University took this concept further by writing and teaching that the Morton's Toe could cause pain all over your body. She wrote and taught for four decades that a "Morton's Toe could cause, back, hip, knee, leg foot and ankles problems
