Changed to:
"... bunions, hammertoes and neuromas."
Classic example of overuse of capitals. Though I almost like the idea of Hammertoes as a proper name - a former ballet dancer turned hard-boiled detective? (Couldn't be any worse that the current prime-time lineup.)

"Neuromas" sounds like a religious festival for people who worship brains. "Neuro" as in neuroscience plus "mas" as in Christmas. Brain festival!
Nice to see you blogging again. Don't forget to visit mine once in a while (outerhoard.wordpress.com).
I like it. Or it could be a celebration of the day someone finally got some nerve.
Hi chica! When I read this it made me think of U. Ain't nothin' but a G thang baby! Holla back West Siiide! http://www.slate.com/articles/life/gaming/2011/10/scrabble_cheating_scandal_did_a_player_really_get_strip_searched.html
As a pulp writer, I may just have to "borrow" (that's writer for steal) Hammertoes for an upcoming noir story. That's classic.
I'd be honored!
You didn't mention the sentence's most egregious error. “Bunions, Hammertoes and Neuromas” aren’t “podiatric needs.” They’re podiatric conditions. Podiatric needs would be cures or palliatives for bunions, hammertoes, and neoromas. I assume you flagged it for the author’s attention.
