Even in the best of the times PODIATRISTS CAN’T EVEN PASS THEIR OWN LIMITED FOOT and ankle ONLY EXAMS. THIS is not a profession… Read more »
I cannot believe that money money money money money is more important to Alan Sherman, Michael Shore and Harold Shoenhaus, then making the RIGHT decision. Can you believe they are not cancelling the SuperBones/SuperWounds meeting, Dr. Block ? Is this stupidity, Dr. Block ?
Will you please tell these three (3) guys to suck it up and pay the fixed expenses at the Marriott/Teaneck that are not refundable to them. Thank you.
