It does not take a genius to notice that Podiatrists who were in practice by themselves as solo practitioners are becoming rarer and rarer. Everyday more join groups. It is now to the point if you are a solo practitioner you probably need to join a group to survive at this point. All the major groups are expanding at a rapid rate. It is basically assimilate or die. These groups are almost making solo practices less and less valuable. Graduates don’t want to buy a practice because they see what is happening and are not stupid.
Attention everyone…..this ride will be coming to an end . The DPM, CPT abusers, think they are Docs and super surgeons ride has ended. Insurance industry is now aware ! CMS is now aware. Please leave the way you came in. Now boarding >>>> Foot care with constrains on billing abuse and cost containment>>>>PAs and NPs please come on board, thank you for traveling with us and being part of the medical team.
Robert!!! Remember that bs marketing in the glossies: be an integral member of the health team…..as a dp wtf? Wow. Talk about cognitive dissonance. What exactly did the shysters mean about integral? As in fetching coffee, being a hand maiden for the orthos, hold retractors, staring at backs of necks, polishing the residumpsey directors new used shit box, waxing poetic about being a member (duped lackee) of the ASSociation? The realtor of the health professions (Flatus)–adds little to no value yet extracts money as a middle man parasite from the transaction.
Robert it already ended for many when they signed up for p skool. They are now treading water and barely keeping up with their debts. Almost every day was a painful chore. Hamsters on a wheel with feces on their lipz
No ONE IS APPLYING To Podiatry…..APMA and AACPM are sh-ting a brick, the number of applicants can not even produce enough QUALIFIED applicants to fill one school. Talk to the boss at Temple, he will tell all.The numbers they are throwing out are distortions, fake news ! Try and get the truth out of anyone in Podiatry politics and you will get propaganda. My hospital will not allow Podiatry students to rotate anymore starting July 1 2020..they need the spots for the physician assistants. How many calls is my office going to get this week for jobs from the highly… Read more »
Sounds like the us empire.
Thanks for more truth! Connor
EXCELLENT POINT ! if Podiatry was really needed there would be more POD schools, MD/DO would create a Podiatry residency but that’s not the case. Podiatry takes a little from each MD specialty and created this “profession”. It was suppose to be C and C, orthotics and nails profession, what no other profession wanted to do, except manicurists. Look at all the specialties out there that can do Podiatry…at any level, Nurses, Chiropractors, Family Docs, Pediatricians, Dermatologists, Ortho Surgeons, Naprapaths, Physical Therapists, Scholl products, pedorthists and the patient themselves !!!!. But with new healthcare rules upon us and with new… Read more »
Can you take a little more off the top Mister
Spot on.
SOPWITH NOT SOPWIT CAMEL
Big: Very big of you to come clean about the crooks in this dirty profession. You freed yourself from moral destruction. Your action reminds me of the movie “LOGAN’S RUN” where citizens entered “Carousel” to be “RENEWED” (born again). Podiatry, per se, isn’t dirty except for the men that keep it UNDER THEIR THUMB AND CONTROL IT FOR PERSONAL EGO SATISFACTION AND FOR MATERIALISTIC GAIN. No GOOD man can recommend podiatry to a GOOD student knowing what you’re immersing him into. To the pods that have been around, they know podiatry IS CONTROLLED BY BAD MEN, SELFISH MEN, EGOTISTICAL, MORALLY… Read more »
Yup Dorian Gray, dp wtf. Nice R.
Podiatry Simply created a need, it never met a need. It was the real estate agent of “health” “professions”
I was AN OFFICER at the state association, I was also an APMA delegate. Then I finally saw the truth. This is one con game run by the Ol’boys network. They don’t care about the profession and its evident, we are still in the 1990s. nothing iS done, if anything is done its dove tailing on what the AMA is doing. No real strategic plan. You have THE APMA ACTING ALL ALONE,. CPME ACTING ALL ALONE, THE Part1 and 2 boards acting all alone, and the board certification groups( too many to mention) acting all alone and of course the… Read more »
Thanks Yewn for insight on Podiatry! will last one turn lights off ..
Jyewn is corecto
Right on the money. What do you call a “profession” whose every facet can be duplicated elsewhere? Redundant. Extinct.
Capitalism on streroids
Fcuked.
There comes a point in podiatry (and that point comes pretty fast) where hopes, dreams, and adulations become tertiary to the necessity of survival. Family, bills, office expenses are primary and all a wtf can conger up about success is what little is left above survival. Most end up at about the level of a tenured teacher sans pension and lots of days off. Robotically working at his MANUAL TRADE WITH A FEW SALES THROWN IN IS HIS FUTURE FOR THE NEXT 30 YEARS. A slight saving grace occurs when he hears the word DOCTOR. He revels in that, but… Read more »
Don’t go to podiatry school if you’re sane. You’ll spend your life with liars and exaggerators like podiatrist Murano who claims to be Board Certified in LOWER EXTREMITY MEDICINE. Please tell me where such a board exists? He claims to be Certified in COMPREHENSIVE SURGERY. WHAT’S THAT PLEASE? Podiatrists will NOT ADMIT THEY’RE JUST NON M.D. FOOT TECHNICIANS. They come up with all kinds of euphemisms that make them seem more important than they are, and the truth is, PODIATRISTS ARE NOT IMPORTANT IN THE BIG PICTURE! THE LYING NEVER STOPS AND BARRY BLOCK FOSTERS IT. How about the “medical… Read more »
Capillaroscopy → Anemia → Autoimmune dis. → Feet → My Corona = A very poor algebra proof
Robert there’s what ~26 cm to play with you got come up with a lot of bs to help pay off all those loans. Caprilloscopy, schmoskopy
Barry is a first class fool, all the way, Robert.
Podiatrists were like realturds. Useless middle men that provided little to no value other than sucking the money out of people/equity. They were both sweet talkers and master bullshit artists. The leased cars and the scripts aint fooling those with an IQ>70
The financial impact bad Mexican before a long flight. Discuss.
As predicted: AFAB has a “survey” about financial impact of the virus fad, we have danny boy , lovable clueless , asking way to appear foot relevant with that virus trend by checking toes, and another simpleton dp wtf wants to know why a NP (n=1) at the old folks home doesnt know about off loading feet and pasting pads on feet? Fat slob from New yaawwk shitty on a 3rd world latino marketing trip to play doctor, practice, really practice their “surgery”, and impress the hut locals. This was podiatry 2020. Feels good mr ankle/foot “surgery” technician. It was… Read more »
When will the sardonic smiling fake md poster child make another appearance in the propagandist “new” blast? or the failed lib polly gap tooth WTF can give podiatrick lessons about how to start a porktice then run for orfice
Yes, the REAL function of another podiatry school is to make jobs for the political-lifer-propagandists. Remember the APMA and quack school administrators said, THEY DON’T GUARANTEE SUCCESS! In other words, THEY give you a piece of paper for >$100 grand and goom-bye chump. On to the next crook with your open check book. Like a RELAY RACE, the quack schools hand you off to the seminars, the boards, the review books, and the equipment salesmen for further fleecing. Everyone gets their beak wet as you work in an ever NARROWING UN-NEEDED FIELD. I have an NP coming to my house… Read more »
Or blind allegiance to US capitalism whereby everything and anything was a profit center-even illness. Sickos. dp wtfs/MDs, etc…get money, get more, and then die.
R brings up the salient terms-“Unneeded field” filled witih anything for a buck you know what– spot on b/c podupetry merely created a need for salesmanshit and academic losers to profiteer off of other losers. Opportunists, hustlers, hucksters, and failed dreamers hoping to make daddy or spousy proud with a new used MB, or a slapped up condo in a nice culdeshack. Some leaders, somedayers, deludeds, etc…believe in a potential revolutionary situation, insisting that the dp wtfs elites and the practicing dp wtf man in the street are in bitter opposition. Meanwhile, all the data we have tell us that… Read more »
In a decade? Its dead now ! The problem is they died and are now all DPM-Zombies, going around like everything is ok..from fake ads to get students, fake news articles, Fake lecturers and mostly fake titles, like lower extremity reconstructive surgeon, peripheral nerve surgeon, fellowship trained surgeon….on and on. They all are now hovering together ( very zombie-like) in large groups. That wont save them. Solo practice is dead, group practice dying and large DPM groups gathering up solo DPMs so they can sell to a hedge fund group. Best bet is a year to year employment contract with… Read more »
The nice thing is that most dp wtfs like most Americans were dumber than a box of rocks. So it helps the decline go faster.
Agreed. However, the madness continues. No turning back when they’re in that deep.
