Just a warning: If it happens once, it's more likely to happen again, unless they removed the entire nail.
I'm guessing your doctor gave you some ideas of how to avoid it in the future, but I'll throw this out there anyway.
If you cut a "v" into the center of the toenail, it's less likely to push outwards or downwards. The "v" gives the nail space to grow without curling. Also, clip your nails regularly, this can keep your nails from having time to grow in.
