Hello,

I just had a procedure on my toe, and also just found out I may have to tend to a family emergency within the next couple of days. I always opt for the pat down, but I am embarrassed by a bloody sock from this procedure, and don't feel comfortable walking in just socks after this procedure anyway - however I do not have a special shoe or doctors orders to remain in shoes.

My two questions are, Am I able to claim a medical reason and ask to be seated while they run my shoes through the machine prior to my pat down? Also, would a bloody sock be concerning to them and what should I do about them possibly touching a tender area on my toe?

Thanks for your help.
