You would think that a major Podiatric figure getting indicted for fraud would be newsworthy. But I assume for Barry some Podiatrist might be accused of shop lifting or getting caught with 3 ounces of pot. I mean what is a massive fraud of the military health insurance in the grand scheme of things?
A lot of what is discussed here is arcane, inside baseball. Can you imagine if the public were exposed to the truth about all the quackery, poor training, limited licenses, questionable arch support theories, fraud, stealing, billing tricks, guys with 0-1 yr training “learning surgery” on the job, playing dermatologist, playing fall specialist, playing forensics, playing sports doctor compared to comparable MD SPECIALISTS?! How about the large % cutting toenails, grinding and selling arch supports and the % of PROFIT they represent and NOT BEING THE TERMINAL SPECIALIST IN ANYTHING? What if 60 minutes or 20/20 interviewed some of us… Read more »
“quackery, poor training, limited licenses, questionable arch support theories, fraud, stealing, billing tricks” add charlatans, shysters, conartists, dupes, dopes, scammers, pettyfoggers, rapscallions, slaxler,…250 words in the Anglo phone literature for conartists (McDougall)—that was the us empire and its fucked up daddy England, and it’s maladjusted son, Oz. The “battle” is simply to get more money. the us empire monetized everything. Some spiritual center huh? Try ZERO. the us was podiatry, podiatry, the us. No surprise.
Current US population = 329.5 million, and it’s not likely that more than 0.5 million understand that the whole show was meaningless: filled with sound and fury and nail droppings, yet signified nada. dp wtfery was meaningless; we are like a ship without a rudder, drifting away and hamstering into oblivion. For appearance is not reality, as Plato told us millennia ago (Allegory of a Cave), and yet most Us-ian dp wtfs take the shadows on the walls of the cave to be real. Should Podposters go door to door, informing the moronic citizenry that what they are witnessing is… Read more »
The University of Buffalo did a study demonstrating that Alzheimer’s patients have a reduced amount of Glutamine receptors at their synapses. Glutamine, an amino acid, is the MOST common neurotransmitter in the body making up 90 % of the transmissions. Have any of THE PROFESSOR PODIATRISTS at our erudite esteemed quack schools (a whopping 9 of them!) researched the role of GLUTAMINE in peripheral neuropathy? After all, “NO ONE KNOWS THE FOOT LIKE A WTF”, they say non endingly. Podiatry MUST HAVE A NEUROLOGY OR BIOCHEMISTRY BOARD. They sure have BILLING SPECIALISTS! Profession or TRADE?
They don’t know and they don’t care. If there isn’t money to be had, f it! Your disease is their economic gain!
Dp wtf dp wtf!
It just occurred you in study
OK Sybly. You and your alter ego can place your negative votes hoping to change reality. Do you know why it’s not working? THE TRUTH IS IMMUTABLE and all the negative votes in the world WON’T TURN YOU INTO AN ACUTAL DOCTOR. Maybe you can try rubbing a rabbits FOOT!.. for luck. Is there a board called the PODIATRIC veterinarian board? I still suspect that Sybly is Hugh and his affectation is fake but I COULD be wrong. I too am a simple wtf.
I am not hugh and yes you’re wtf asole
OH BOY! I can’t wait another second. It’s IMPEARTIVE that Barry Block’s lying blog be challenged immediately so as not to dupe any more unsuspecting potential students or make ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON MD’S think we all believe what Block prints. Let it be known! Many of us know Barry Block PRINTS MISLEADING INFORMATION. Let’s exam if he’ll print nearly anything. YOU decide if they’re out right LIES or outright DISTORTIONS. Well, the WEIL’S seem to be deep in “THE BUSINESS”. I’m not sure if they’re related, but podiatry has a lot of families cousins, uncles, etc in the foot biz.. This… Read more »
Most don’t want true quality. They want the perception of “quality”. Many home buyers want a big cheaply built shit house to impress themselves. If dp WTFs are cheaper, they’ll see a dp wtf
Out of touch Barry Block ask foot technicians IF THEY’RE GETTING A FLU SHOT THIS YEAR? Can you imagine MD’s asking such a basic medical question? What stupid Block should be asking is WHY DO PODIATRISTS HAVE TO GO TO DOCTORS NURSES OR PHARMACISTS TO GET A FLU SHOT LIKE ANY OTHER NON DOCTOR…IF THEY WTF’S ARE DOCTORS? OF course that answer is, PODIATRISTS ARE FORBIDDEN BY LAW TO DO WHAT A PHARMACIST OR NURSE IS ALLOWED TO DO, AND THAT IS, GIVE A FLU SHOT. REALLY, isn’t Barry Block an embarrassment and doesn’t he ask the most stupid non… Read more »
Podiatry was the stuff in the toilet after bad Mexican.
If biomechquactics was a real science and IF wtf’s were the DISCOVERS of these arcane theories (root, weed et al) and if biomechquactics is what makes podiatrists BETTER than M.D.’s than why would the KING go to the peasants (orthotists) for information? It’s because the BIOMECHQUATIC SCAM was/is A NON SCIENTIFIC LIE to ATTEMPT to give podiatry a reason to exist? A profession BASED ON A LIE is not a profession. It may not even be a Trade. It just may be a sophisticated scam. (btw: to clarify. I don’t deny biomechanics but I heartily deny ORTHOTIC theories on 2… Read more »
Animaux. Dans le Sud, les bisons et chevaux sauvages ont leur reserve avec petit Barry Shlock, D. Pod, HUH, POURQUOI, WTF
Thank you our Canada friend
Worst yet to come. OIG workplan next year will really hammer Podiatry. These indictments are tip of iceberg. So where f is APMA and pod management while podiatrists are destroyed!!???!!! Maybe future stars have answers…,,
Podiatry was, in general, a non honest “profession”. It was a brotherhood of losers and 3rd Tier f ups. Those at the very top got loot. The others, it was a work hard, work hard, save money, follow the “rules” farce. Why do you think pods never retire—it’s bc many fcken can’t. To save face, they thought they were ‘doctors’. They even had lab coats, scrubs, and gauze.
There are no answers. There are no rainbows nor unicorns with that WTF “degree”. Just ask Cashishoeme. Only examples of reality. And that reality stunk like a backed- up septic tank. Right Robert?
No pr, no smiley releases, no real estate shyster marketing, no porno star make up, no someday delusions. Just truth. Podiatry was that lame excuse for a failed dream—Cappy Pod.
Barry Block …………………………………… May I suggest you do some research ! ! Telephone Michael King, DPM from Upperline Health. Ask Dr. King why he had a need to fly to San Diego this week to attend the annual meeting of the American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists (AOPA). What logical reason did Dr. King have to be at this meeting ? Might Dr. King have accomplished his wish ? That was to meet up with the bald fake M.D who delivered the keynote address. Is Dr. King looking to extract $$$ out of SALSA to become affiliated with Upperline Health… Read more »
Shhhh don’t let it out
Hi Barry,
I wanted to say “hello” to you. Because I know you would read this.
May I now say “fuck you” to you.
You nebbish A-Hole.
Those foot doctors are robbing everybody blind! Phenomenal nerve to think they won’t get caught. What’s the motivation? Be rich “just like” an MD. Be rich like Uncle Morty in the garment business? Make mommy proud? What makes for such greed? Did they ever think about science and medicine, or was it always to be just a “nice little business with a title”? I don’t know, but for a small trade of about 12,000 there’s some big time stealing. Crooks, limited license, education less than a PA, little motivation to change, endless #’s of meaningless boards for everything, Hall of… Read more »
“be rich like uncle Morty in the garment business”. Wow, why don’t you say what you really mean by that innuendo, you spineless racist.
Robert is correct. There’s a commonality with the frequent Scams, frauds, cons, duping, etc. Lou stools u can’t deny it. The evidence is heavy towards fraud, corruption, and hustling
I guess in end last podiatrist turn off lights
Will the weasel shylock barrister publish this, any of this in that silly shoe propaganda “news”?
Highly likely heck no.
“In the end, podiatry will be known for what it didn’t do.” Captain F&(k Up
Five podiatrists indictments this weekend. We own the jail.. ah foot sorry
Big weekend Podiatry in Michigan three podiatrists indicted -issues nail avuslons tendon cuttings and other fraud.
You need to be banned
Mommy make the Bad Man go away. I place negative votes on EVERYTHING he says because it goes against all the nice things you said about me and podiatry mommy but he doesn’t go away! Even though what he says is right, I still will go against him even if it means I HAVE TO DEFEND PODIATRY. Am I doing right mommy? My head hurts mommy.
Please schedule a psychiatrist appointment
You are so racist
all podiatry leaders, apma, state societies etc should be investigated for all the side deals they have going on with vendors and pharm companies and DME…its a totally unethical profession BUT…all coming to a close……….no one needs a DPM….insurance companies have figured it all out….the masters of cpt coding are done !
Should should would would could could. All the calls for “investigations” don’t mean fuck all. All for sho’. Theater.
Hi Seth will Barry publish dr Mallia indictment?
No.
Dr Micheal Mallia podiatrist indicted over 7 million plus. Appears cash kickbacks and foot procedures never performed. Seasonal thing?
Will podiatry management publish thus one too or running out space for these people?
Sorry home healthcare prescriptions indicted and foot procedures never done
Trillions spent on war and military bullsht. Just saying
Saw an ad in PM for a seminar called FAPA
The speakers ?
Paul Kesselman, Steve McClain, and the best of all, Ira “the blimp” Krause.
Who the f would PAY to listen to any of these stooges ?
Then I saw an ad for some meeting run by Sammy “the drunk” Hall of Famer. And Ira “the blimp” is lecturing.
This says all you need to know about the disgrace known as podiatry.
I think they should pay you to go.
Let’s get Sammy the Drunk and Steve “the Bradley wanna be” together.
Well, once again Traum leads us to the facts. I suggest all readers ck the website that Traum indicates in his post (Angelfire). It proves that podiatry is a GO NOWHERE, UNCHANGING, UNHAPPY, UNNEEDED TRADE. It proves that THE SAME PROBLEMS AND COMPLAINTS that were present 20 years ago still persist. As unchanged as the pyramids, and the APMA AND QUACK SCHOOLS HAVE DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT. Please note that there has been talk about some hyphenated MD-wtf degree since the crooks running the foot business realized they could turn that HOPEFILLED LIE INTO MONEY! We’re no closer to MD… Read more »
Asked and answered. Next attack please.
I enjoy the opportunity to provide another view on podiatric propaganda hoping to guide the more cerebral into seeing the deception necessary to keep the podiatry con going. Truth is BAD FOR PODIATRY. Apparently a crooked foot doctor, hoping to START A NICE LITTLE BUSINESS BY SELLING “BOARD CERTIFICATION” IN PODIATRY SPORTS, has been caught and called out by the president of that group, Howard Osterman. Osterman pointed out the deceit and misleading statements regarding the Specialty Board working with the Sports Club to start certification. The CLUB ITSELF shows NO INTEREST IN CERTIFICATION, claiming it is already the accepted… Read more »
podiatry was america. america, podiatry. Hu$tlers, hucksters, and charlatans. 98.7% of them.
98.7% of americans (dp wtfs) don’t have any interest in anything except getting money (hu$tlers/hucksters) and getting more. Greed, selfishness, and hyper-consumerism. Why would us podiatry be any different?
I guess it’s time to retire when the 312 blade is shaking in your hands.
R-you may wish to read the articles (from ~20years ago) including BM “news” propaganda, podiatry recruitment tactics, and lies.
Podiatry Bytes website: http://www.angelfire.com/on/podiatry/
OCPM Prez says he’s “sick and tired”
but he is really just sickening and tiring
“the president of OCPM made a rebuttal to the anonymous email that could only be described as “typical.” True to the style of many podiatrists who self-proclaim, the prez states:
“I have been in every aspect of it for the past thirty years, and will declare myself competent to state that it is indeed a viable, necessary profession for the consuming public.”
“necessary profession for the consuming public”? Seriously?? So I guess the poor bastard in the ER w/the MI is also a fucking “consumer”? He better be, or he’s dead. Wow. I would expect that comment to be in a MBA course, not fake doktor school…silly me.
Yes, consumer. In the US, health conditions, infirmities, illness, etc….are monetized. It’s a business.
When we started publishing podiatry articles decades ago, we goofily believed all these “dissident” sites had the same aim of exposing the criminality of american podiatry. Then realized nearly all of them are controlled opposition. Their real job is to jerk off while castrating dissidence! It’s just rhetorical and socratic masturbation. A smoke screen of that farcical “democracy” thing. Simply, outlets for usa-ers to complain, bitch, and moan (that’s the “freedom” propaganda) yet, nothing can nor will change. Look at the Standing Bull protesters. Anything that poses a real challenge to the corrupt us system is gonzo. Keep eating those… Read more »
Good to read you again Traum. Now, where’s Eddy? Oh, on a totally different matter, Earl Horowitz is being GLORIFIED as the first to be BOARD CERTIFIED IN (wait for it)…….. “GERIATIC PODIATRY”!!! The creative crooks never stop looking for a new business to start up. They are MONEY ORIENTED. So, we have to be board certified in Sports quackery and soon certified in Old People. (most of podiatry) One tiny foot. So many boards, so many fractionations into little fiefdoms and BUSINESSES. IF podiatrists were as CLEVER in SCIENCE and MEDICINE as they are in business we’d be recognized… Read more »
A number of years ago there was a T.V. program called “TO TELL THE TRUTH”. Apparently podiatrists didn’t heed the title. I invite you to read the out right lies and Rhetorical deception in the TOTALLY INSANE PROPAGANDA article about BOARD CERTIFICATION IN SPORTS MEDICINE. They imply that podiatrists WANT a “valued credential” ( B.S.) TO DECLARE their competence in “podiatric sports”. Yeah, I’d like to declare that I’m a doctor and just like too but it would be a lie. Too bad no one of importance believes podiatry’s clubs and boards. They say that PODIATRIC sports medicine stated in… Read more »
…”The article goes on to say that podiatry is A FORMIDABLE FIELD OF MEDICINE AND SURGERY. FORMIDABLE?”
LOL–reminds us of the time the OH lifer skool presidunce medildo whatever stated that he could attest to the amazing potential and importance of the podiatry thing. Wow–words so strong that one should take that to the bank and try to cash it!
The American / podiatry “brand” is not something we buy into anymore – there is no credibility, nor integrity and certainly no prestige attached to anything made, offered or said. 400yrs+ of bullshit. Podiatry was a pus filled furuncle on the ass of the us empire. When we think podiatry (or 98.7% usa-ians)–we instantly think ‘Snake Oil Salesmen’… picture a forked tongue, decrepid, washed up used car salesman with a bad hair piece, pinky ring, bleached white false teeth and who is so embarrassingly slick and greasy but thinks he still has the old magic. Hu$tlers, hucksters: intellectually, spiritually, and… Read more »
I intuit that the nuance of this point will escape you. Apparently, your definition of retirement and mine are different. I have a license, I see a few patients and I write a few prescriptions. I’ve changed the volume and traditional character from a full practice BUT I have not stopped practicing totally. I have not retired my interest in MEDICAL Science INTELLECTUALLY, at all. I assume YOUR idea of practice is going in everyday, billing, making a profit, and supporting yourself. Your definition is NOT my definition. So, your argument is arbitrary, capricious, puerile, vacuous, erroneous, and based on… Read more »
Like a female? Wow, you must be a real lady’s man. Your thinking is archaic and insulting. You’re also a hypocrite. You state that the poster is “emotional….like a female”. Yet who is “emotional like a female” in every post? Who is the one person on this site who gets so emotional (like a female) in every post that he needs to capitalize every other word as if he’s screaming? Maybe you need your testosterone levels checked. After all, your posts are alway emotional……like a female.
True. We not allowed to criticize him always right. Must be great to have at thanksgiving table
He willfully gave $525 to the enemies, and claims to see patients still even as an old boomer yet criticizes an greatest generation woman for doing podiatry 75 years!!
Heh Loustool, Robert is right. Many women hear me roars are clowns and very emotional and take their job super seriously to make up for some inferiority complex. They should stay home, raise their kids, learn to cook/bake cookies and work mother’s hours if one really needs a 2nd income.
Look at those u tube videos. . when the calcanei were broken, had an orthopod operate. NOT a dp wtf. Yet, the videos have him accepting BM awards, laughing with the shyster lawyer, talking up dp wtf followshits etc….were these videos propaganda?
Who, and what, “considerations” are you receiving to CHANGE the direction of opinions dominating this blog?
Keep paying $525 as a retired DP. How are those “options”?
Podiatry: A FAKE FIELD. Well, it was just a matter of time. Like the inner convolutions of a MITOCHONDRIA or the surface area of the INTESTINES this compact quack field continues to find space in a limited surface area to TURN A BUCK. All WITHIN 30 cm of anatomy. The CLUB called “sports medicine”, (Another inferior copy cat of REAL M.D. sports medicine) has stretched its GREEDY hand out and is now “OFFERING” (for a big price of course)….BOARD CERTIFICATION IN SPORTS MEDICINE!!! Who needs it? Who wants it? Who recognizes it? Who’ll PROFIT from it? NO PODIATRIST CAN TREAT… Read more »
You supported it for decades. Why
Most DP WTFS are an intellectual toilet brush.
It’s all theatre really. Simply masturbation and distractions. Look at the $500,000+ for gassyworthless. All the calls for examinations and investigations, etc…amounted to dog poop. You have ZERO freedom to change anything. We have ‘freedom’ to complain, however, presenting a real challenge to the system–good luck with those delusions. Lucy in the sky with diamonds…..
Seth you’re right but look bright side they have
Ads for nail polish,ethical podiatrist needed , socks etc. who says podiatrist don’t rock !
If you want to know what Barry is thinking I suggest you ask Sybly. By his own admission, he and Barry Block e mail each other. Barry Block is not an honorable man, in my opinion, and the sooner the profession marginalizes him the better for the Truth. The better for the Truth, the better for finding a direction to the mainstream.
When do you think podiatrists will wake up to truth? How about never. They’re brain dead.
Asshole I emailed one time
robert learn to work with people not criticize everyone and everything
