Are Podiatrists slipping? Come on, every time there is a pandemic panic there is at least one Podiatrist that runs to his local newspaper to comment on the Coronavirus. I mean if Podiatrists can take 5-10 minutes out of their day to slam innocent nail salons they can take 20 minutes and somehow connect a respiratory illness to some Podiatric manifestation. Maybe come out and say we do not know if the Coronavirus is spread via going barefoot. We just do not know. Come on Podiatry, do not let me down. There must be one of you out there willing to throw science to the side to get a paragraph in the local newspaper about you.
Hey, I just thought. Maybe we can have a BOARD OF PODIATRIC ALIAS’S! abps, aka, ACFS, aka ACF”A”S, ABPM aka abppm, aka, abfam&ppm&pbiomechqutic alchemy, aka ABPM?!!!! 100 years and podiatry is still sliding down the Sisyphean slope never reaching the top. Well, the “hope” keeps the podiatric politicians plump with lobsta and cocktails. Payed your dues yet? As the commercial says, “What’s in your safe?”
how about American Board of Imbeciles. It could admit 99.3% of the dumb as stale dog shit populace?
No. Sorry. No joy today either. Still the same intramural fights, the same billing rejections, same articles by “strawmen authorities”. (Again, its by Jerrod Shapiro). HE is Telling US how residencies should be. Yeah, the ones you spend 3 years in and then have a 50-50 chance of being ‘certified’ by. (at least as far as the carpentry board goes). The “medical” board? Lots’ of rhetoric, lots of threats (time is running out to qualify for the exam! sign up now. Include your check.) but still no valid reason why it exists. The “president” of the board reminds you that,… Read more »
Barry should only take that pointed high heel and stick it up his own ass. Or the ass hole of his better half, Hermine.
The board name change is a great way to make bank on reprinted certificates, membership cards, decoder rings, etc. A guess a pod med residency would make sense only for the fact that the clinics are so badly devoid of “patients” that they would get three more years to hack before going out into the real world of the nail salon.
High heels? Why, you must be a doctor of shoeology!
Is just me or does dr chargaris president-ABPM answer make no sense in response to his board exclusions???!!!
Who elected the DROP OUT ALAN SHERMAN to represent podiatry and how it should be portrayed on TV? He hated podiatry enough to GO INTO BUSINESS SELLING IT. Selling lectures selling cme’s yet, as is usual in the podiatry lifer cult, he’s some kind of big shot. Stupid foot technicians pay thousands of dollars to support APMA DEADWOOD, and they’ve accomplished very little. So, why is Sherman sticking his nose in? No one elected him to say what or what should not represent podiatry. Sock drives everyday represent podiatry. Endless fighting over CROOKED BOARDS AND THEIR OWNERS represents podiatry. Ask… Read more »
Nice summary- Robert . you just knocked out Podiatry!
Robert my friend …………………..
VERY WELL stated ! You are 500% dead on in all the points you mention.
Podiatry is a VERY embarrassing profession.
When Barry’s voice is not discussing “shoe drives” he is discussing “sock drives”.
And don’t forget you can throw in Michael Shore with Alan Sherman.
Neither one of them should speak on how podiatry “should be” represented.
It is a plain old embarrassing profession that gets no respect from the allopathic or osteopathic
community.
Barry Bloch
Tell me please ………………….. Do gynecologists and urologists conduct annual “underwear drives” ?
Or outrageous panties of the day.
I’ll bet Barry Bloch’s wife wears “outrageous panties”.
Man, Robert is the Man. Telling realitiies and truths most DPs wont dream of saying.The real question is why is that Shartman still working? SELLING podiatry must be very lucrative.
How to sell Podiatry viruses by Dr Fred Raud, Dp
Yes, you’re right. I forgot. The Podiatry Virus is spreading OVERSEAS also. The Armstrong fomite has spread the disease in Europe and the middle east. Biomechquactician Kirby has spread the condition to Australia and New Zealand. Podiatrists routinely “practice” and spread the virus on Mexicans and South Americans. Even the U.K. is calling its Bachelor’s degree Chiropodists….. podiatrists now. That todays podiatrists are just like doctors is DELIRIUM. The profession needs a temperature scan, and until treated, should be quarantined. How about 60% salicylic acid in a tablet? Isn’t that how podiatrists treat viruses anyway?
Instead of shoe of the day. How abt asshole of the day? Start with a pic of Shlock
Sounds to me like an ass hole that never practiced podiatry or law. No question, that is it.
You know, viruses are sinisterly amazing simple transition stages between organic molecules and true life forms. Arguments continue whether they are “alive” or “dead” (that is just molecules undergoing a chemical reaction with DNA). We all know the clever insidious manner in which they hijack a cell by “morphing” and taking over it’s DNA. The analogy to the podiatry trade is unmistakable. As I read the article on “physician” burnout in the latest issue of Foot Technician Today the INTERTWINING and co-opting of the term physician with podiatrist even had me believing they were one in the same. Podiatric ‘PHYSICIAN’… Read more »
In end Podiatry problem in search of solution!!
Yep.
The same old rhetoric of : we need to explain and over explain what a dp wtf does blather……fuck sakes, it’s 2020 already. What the hell pay dues??? For what? An entertainment show does more in 1 week than the podiatry gang. Ghasstworthless 550k salaries and First class airfares?
Most of struggle and head APMA really makes 550 k .. wtf !!!
I never cease to be amazed at the incoherence in podiatry. For how long will this mixed up, ill defined, quasi medical trade continue? Someday someone will catch on to the false hoods. For example, Podiatrist Guida claims to be A PHYSICIAN specializing in podiatry. Oh, like a physician specializing in orthopedic surgery or a physician specializing in OBGYN? Yeah, right. Mister podiatrist says, let’s see. What do I want to specialize in? I know. I’ll choose feet, and in some states I’ll choose a little ankle. Podiatrists RARELY correct the image that they’re “just like” an MD Doctor, and… Read more »
Oy vey! Classmate Kominsky (PCPM 1982) is so upset about the state of podiatry he writes to BB to complain. Wait. What? The very medium that is the spokesman of the podiatry myth, is now suppose to become the advocate for change? Steve you should know better! The reality of 2020 podiatry……I am employed at an inner city health center, in the Adult medicine department. We are funded in part by the federal government. Think VA for poor people. The Center has a Ryan White program. The program offers healthcare to HIV and Hep patients. Free of charge. Again funded… Read more »
The only real use / value for a podiatrist is donating themselves as a cadaver for Anatomy 101. don’t ever ever be like Boots, what a bad joke 87 and still greedy schniding
Good for you Justin. I’m on the same path. 30+ years and can’t wait to get the fuck out. It may be this year; next year tops. I absolutely have no desire to subject myself to useless CMEs for my license renewal, along with the mandatory child abuse course, yadda yadda yadda…. It’s not worth my time or dinero. I’ve always treated my patients as I would want to be treated. It hurt me economically, but I don’t see them as a cash register. Unlike my “colleagues” that make up Q findings. I’ve lost a fair share of patients over… Read more »
Oh, haha! I meant child abuse DETECTION course…
All the best you deserve it – greg
Good luck.
Podiatry was is and forever will be a lame excuse for a failed dream. Caddy Pod
Wear proper shoes and socks. Beware corona virus can get you, the rhythm can get you, boogey men everywhere, stay frightened. Where’s my blankey, we mean sock? those orientals eat funny things like bat. You know what podiatrists eat? Crapo, we got little mo unless you’re a lifer, then you eat on someone elses dime. Follow the jockseph. To help with that bad bad bad virus, You need to wash those feet, wash that rectum, and wear a mask. At Asshouse Podiatry we sell shoes, socks, and special virus masks. Act now, supplies limited! Rectums extra. So call Asshouse Podiatry… Read more »
Well, if the cure for Corona virus is IMMUNIZATION, podiatrists will be lumped with CHIROPRACTORS. Perhaps where they belong. STATE LEGISLATORS forbid non MD podiatrists from immunizing, that’s why pods are forbidden to do what pharmacists, nurses, and PA’s can do, immunize with a shot in the arm. I guess the State Education Departments just doesn’t trust what podiatrists learn in those secret, private, for profit, 9, quack schools. Funny, not even this embarrassment moves the APMA NARCISSTIC LIFERS OR THE QUACK SCHOOL ADMINSTRATORS. Now that’s obdurate defiance of reality……….”doctor”.
What would LightheadDMP think?
They are doctors in their own minds…
Mr Lighthead DMP has some tips regarding the XYZ virus distraction. Well um ah, it’s important to floss the feet, wash em good, and see a certified podiatrist. The XYZ virus can strike at any minute,. and can cause you to fall down. So please lace correctly and get good shoes. Mr Lighthead, do you recommend a flu shot? ah ummm ah ummmmm, we suggest you go to your uum aahh pharm tech or medical assistant to get a flu shot. aamm ummmm
If anyone is thinking about..American Academy of coronovirus Podiatric specialists…..I took it ! 500 dollars to join, board certification test February “31” st.
That’s too cheap. The podiatry gang requires at least $1600 each year for renewal and an addl 1900 fee every 3 years to be recertrifried
So you think you’re doctors. They TOLD YOU you are. You like the title but you won’t compare yourself to real doctors. Well, perhaps you believe THE VOICE of podiatrists Barry Block. Well, there you see “dr” JILL’S FOOT PADS and you see podiatrists calling themselves FOUNDING PARTNERS IN BUSINESS. He talks of LOWER EXTREMITY CARE. Well to most lower extremity starts at the Femoral Head. No NON MD foot technician qualifies for a LOWER EXTREMITY appellation unless, of course, HE’S A LIAR! Barry Bernstein was voted to be a great foot technician along with the PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS AND NURSE… Read more »
That’s creepy and narcopathic. To be still alive and “endow” a title in YOUR honor. What a deranged whack job.
Robert—-IF it’s beyond 26 cm , it’s outta scope. You dig?
Very much like fecal fallout, the dreaded Coronavirus cascade has the potential to cripple millions. The trumpets blare as all the poddies in the trenches girdle their loins in readiness to battle this dastardly dot of destruction. No foot can go unshod! Orthotics and balance braces are good as physical barriers against the cascade. Floss your toes! Don’t walk barefoot! Don’t let anyone sneeze on your feet! Don’t eat roadkill from Chinese farmers markets! Stay tuned- film at eleven: “Poddies Pounce on Pandemic!!”
It’s simple a predictable buying opportunity. Create some agita, pics of masks, idiots scurring about, –try this dipshits: wash your fucking hands vigorously with soap, don’t cough or yawn with your fat pie hole open, and use alcohol wipes when touching public places. Don’t eat at shithouses, tomain lomein, or fast us food made by illegals….. Otherwise, enjoy the ratings and the buying opportuning.
Same old Song and Dance News: Keep everyone in fear, sell more drugs, bogus economic tourism reports, and pensive faces of bureaucraps. Remember to: floss those feet, wash those feet…THOROUGHLY…not just a superficial wash (Reference shlocks rag about thoroughfeet washings). If your feet are dirty the wutang virus could spread by feet. What say to Dr Jokeseph?
Schtupley brings up a salient pt. Can orthodics be used to help those suffering from Wuhan City, coronavirus, ambulate? What does the fat slob from NY think? Do we care? If there is not a buck to be had, the Dp wtfs don’t have a shit to give (Crappy Pod).
They’ll have some old dp wtf asshat-leevee type—pontificate and ruminate and mentally masturbate about the latest virus sensational bs. As if. Go play with shoes and read Larry’s silly news. What would 87r old Boots do?
87 year old Eerl Bootsy Horowitz was killed in an automobile crash in Florida one month before he was to appear in the Multiple Specialities of podiatry booth at the New Yawk Shitty foot surgeons meeting. Does anyone know who worked the booth. Will his organisation remain a sham ? What say you, Dr. Kestlehem !
Just becuase Leonard Leevee has an MPH degree after his DPM does not mean jack shit. Leonard Leevee did notin for this profession. Only that jack shit DO BO school. But he had masters of public health. Tat is the same degree that Barry suggested to the DPM graduate stupdents that did not match for a residumsky a few years a go.
What the f is and MPH-miles per hour, moron per hectare, mindless person honors
Barry the Bloch says it is Masters of Public Health. It will go hand in hand with the dpm degree. Right Dr. Bloch.
That is just what Barry is missing :
Barry Bloch, DPM, JD, MPH
Orthotics help sick corona patient ambulate !!??
Eerl Bootsy Horowitz would lazer the footsies of those with corona. The lazer would kill this bug.
Tat Remy lazer is FDA approved to treat,but not cure, corona. Just ask Christopher Milkie the practice expert of foot and ankle business industries (fabi)
