现实版“削足适履”：英少女为穿高跟鞋给脚整形

　　According to the Daily Mail on March 7, Hannah Bailey was referred for foot re-shaping surgery at 19 after telling her GP she was in excruciating pain。

　　In reality, she was simply frustrated that her "wide and ugly" feet prevented her from wearing the latest fashions. Surgeons broke her foot in four places, cut her tendons and ligaments and stapled two-inch screws to her bones。

　　Bailey, 23, said her foot was unbearably painful after the surgery and remained swollen for two years, but added that she wanted to have a similar operation on her left foot in the next few years. Since the taxpayer-funded surgery, she has spent around £9,000 on designer shoes, including her favorite Jimmy Choo heels。

　　She discovered foot re-shaping surgery was available on the NHS for patients in serious pain. The procedure would have cost £5,000 (＄8102) at a private hospital. "I don't feel guilty about getting my feet done on the NHS," said her。

　　Doctors warn that foot operations should only be carried out to alleviate pain and deformities because surgery can damage the delicate structure of the feet。
