Covid toe ? No problem.
1. Do a biopsy of the toe. Who says so ? McLean lab, that’s who.
Vasculitic, vasospastic, or occlusive vascular disease in a toe (particularly in an older patient) always heals well.
Especially for a transient phenomena of uncommon clinical significance. You get paid for buipsiesZ
2. Do an epidermal nerve fiber density test. Neuropathy can occur in covid-19 patients.
You get paid for this one also. See BAKO for clarification.
3. Run a covid-19 test in your office. Remember to scare the shit out of the patient so they agree to the test.
You get paid for this also. See TALAR Medical for details.
4. Sell the patient some type of cream for the toes. When the self limited disease resolves, take credit for the “cure”.
You get paid here also.
5. Keep reading PM Ragazine. Follow IPED, AAPPM and FABI recommendations. Get into your nice car. Go to your impressive homes.
Pretend that you deserve all the money you make. Pretend that you do something worthwhile for your patients.
Pretend you are a doctor (your wife and relatives will be impressed). Pretend that you are not a huckster and shyster.
Do not confront the reality that you have no actual role in the management of any serious disease, covid-19 or whatever.
Robert, I do not agree with everything you say, but this topic was not published. These are my opinions and I hope these opinions spread around so that they will be published so that the ABPM credential will be considered for operating room privileges in hospitals that only accept board certification in foot and ankle surgery. 1. Board certification in foot surgery, does not guarantee surgical expertise, in performing major foot surgeries. For example, in NYS prior to 1996, the scope of practice was limited to operating on the bones, muscles, tendons of the feet for the correction of minordeficiencies,… Read more »
I recall that PM news was discussing this topic. My opinions were not published in this discussion. Therefore I am posting them here on PodiatryPosts.com Discrimination against my ABPM credential compared to those who only demonstrated operating on the bones, muscles, tendons of the feet for the correction of minordeficiencies, and deformities of a mechanical and functional nature if major foot cases were disallowed by NYS law prior to 1996. Currently, some hospials do not consider an applicants experience and the ABPM credential if the minimal criteria of board certification in foot and ankle surgery is not met. I believe… Read more »
Not only are YOU REPEATING what you said to Block head. You are repeating what you wrote in other sections of THIS BLOG! Quantity doesn’t make it right. Logic and common sense do. You said you don’t agree but you give NO SPECIFICS. BUT, PLEASE DON’T KEEP REPEATING WHY “YOU” should be given WHAT YOU DIDN’T EARN!
Robert, speaking of earning the ability to perform a delineated procedure. How many podiatrists who are board certified in foot and ankle surgery were successful in using dermatoscopic surgery to remove osseous structures from infected diabetic wounds resulting in healing and toe regrowth? I am an ABPM diplomats that did. Judge for yourself at http://www.journalofdermoscopy.com If I performed this outside an OR independently I should be granted access to perform this while being assisted and supervised by someone independently credentialed to perform this procedure. All new procedures need a focused review. Pictures especially backed up by a PowerPoint presentation are… Read more »
PODIATRY IS LIKE THE “LEANING TOWER OF PISA”. Both were built on unsound foundations and both are off kilter. At least Pisa is famous. Podiatry is INfamous. Though Pisa has been around for many centuries, podiatry has been around for a century as is still so CROOKED the Intramural battle for “who’s the best” has reignited. The ACFAS thought they “owned it”. But the “david” (of Goliath fame) has slung a stone at “surgeons”. Ribtosky, Markinson, Scaartozi, andRogers are some of the mal contents defending the ABPM’s desire to certify surgery. Well we learn that because podiatrists aren’t really DOCTORS… Read more »

New franchise chief?
I looked into this TOURO College that the NY podiatry school franchise is affiliating with. Well, ck it out yourself and see who’s going to benefit. It seems like TOURO IS A FRANCHISE ITSELF . It claims to be “THE LARGEST PRIVATE INSTITUTION UNDER JEWISH AUSPICIES”. It has franchises in Moscow, Berlin, Israel, Chicago, Nevada, and California. I find it interesting that a foot school would join a RELIGIOUS BASED SCHOOL CONGLOMERATE but I’m sure the reasons are myriad and money and power are involved. I suspected there was something more than podiatric “ACADEMICS” that made the affiliation desirable. TOURO… Read more »

Oh wouldn’t you have liked to be a fly on the wall during the “discussions” of Levine and Kadish of Touro that NYCPM is going to be a part of. For 100 years foot schools have been on their own. I know of no real academic booster shot that would make podiatry a university level program. A private school trade school yes. How many dinners went down and what emolument inducements is bringing this about? I smell a fish or an old pair of orthotics. Sani Shoe Sterilizers anyone?

The only profession where people call themselves anything but what they are…..Lower extremity surgeons, peripheral nerve surgeons, master foot and ankle surgeon, reconstructive surgeon etc etc……. The profession is dead. no one applying and they lie to themselves that all is fine. If Podiatry was needed, the gov would make more schools instead the gov is making more PA schools. Time for me to go do my…..hyperkeratotic lesion reduction master surgeon specialist extraordinaire, quadruple board certified, coding expert to the nth degree. Diabetic shoes anyone? LOL
Nice post Alan! But pods need a note from real doctor for diabetic shoes ……so independent… not

YOU have to be suffering from a real mental condition to refuse to believe that PODIATRY SHOULDN’T EXIST. CHIROPODY OK, BUT PODIATRY NO! Look at the PROOF. For nearly a half a century the same problems and inferior education has plagued podiatry. Here we go AGAIN. Ribtosky now asks “Who are we”? When he had his radio propaganda program it was all ,”we’re the best”, we’re the true specialists”.

Ho! Ho! Ho! what a stupid profession. Podiatrist Releford isn’t a podiatrist he’s a “SPECIALIST IN REDUCING AMPUTATION RATES”! See, NO ONE WANTS TO BE JUST A PODIATRIST! Everyone wants to be something else, Even though all HONEST PODIATRISTS KNOW THAT TOENAILS AND ARCH SUPPORTS MAKE UP HALF of a podiatry business.

Yeah, I’m going to listen to him. Barry, your fly is open and you look like a fool. More “fly open” podiatrists are ignorant to themselves. Levy has erupted in erudition after… Read more »
Robert, I graduated in 1984 and no one told us we can not do surgery. Totally confused. I bought my own Stryker equipment sterilizer etc. And office surgery was available. Furthermore, it was so easy getting hospital privileges back then. Back then, it was worth it to become a podiatrist. The apma did a lot of good back back then with there handbook on hospital privileges. Now things are different.
Now my opinion has changed.
Your opinion has changed because you’re realizing you WERE WRONG IN THE FIRST PLACE! Recal that the ’80’s were the beginning of HMO’S and their FINANCIAL PINCH ON HOSPITALS, thus NECESSISATING “other revenue streams”. Podiatry was taken in ONLY FOR FINANCIAL REASONS, NEVER FROM MEDICAL NECESSITY OR ACTUAL DESIRE. YOU SAY, “no one told you you couldn’t do surgery. You once again miss the point. The ABPS (at the time) CLEARLY stated ITS certification was the “TRUSTED CREDENTIAL” (ABPS AND ACFAS STATEMENT). Essentially they were saying only ABPS boarded wtf’s were competent to do surgery. What is the logical deduction… Read more »
Danny Boy is still paying foot dues. No way he really changed…that would Take a backbone.
PodiaTrust membership is free. There are no monetary dues. I am glad to be a member of PodiaTrust!
A singing voice, but no backbone. Kinda like Barry Block.
No backbone. Wait a second. I am treating patients during this pandemic and some of them for free who I am not in their insurance plan.
It takes backbone to give free care when needed. Then again I am concerned about hurting others feelings. After all, all men are brothers.
Silly socks, I am a member of Podiatrust.
There are no dues.
I answered you but the post “disappeared”. The point was: The ABPS essentially said you can’t do sx in a hospital without the board. What you did in your office was “on you” and if things went south that board would produce experts against you because you weren’t trained. Essentially they were saying you couldn’t do surgery. As for getting on staff being easy, the staying on staff was not so easy and contingent on certification. And, if it wasn’t for the HMO’S which started then, podiatrists wouldn’t be allowed on. It was podiatrist’s ability to make money for the… Read more »

It aint nothin but nothin slop on slop, like a podiatry mop
The British Journal of Dermatology might have interesting information about biopsying covid toes. My opinions: Performing biopsies on ischemic toes might have healing problems. Perhaps before any biopsy is performed, there are risks, benefits and alternatives. If one uses dermoscopy the way rheumatologists have been using capsuloscopy, this is non invasive. Especially video dermoscopy at more than 50 times magnification. If no abnormal vessels are seen perhaps covid or other positive collegen vascular diseases are less likely. Most importantly, refer to an md or licensed healthcare practitioner to get a second opinion and have them treat the systemic condition regarding… Read more »
I’ve got an idea “anonymous Dan”. Instead of referring to an MD to get a SECOND opinion why not have the patient GO DIRECTLY TO A DOCTOR AND AVOID NON MD PRETEND DOCTOR PODIATRISTS? THIS WILL SAVE INSURANCE COMPANIES MONEY, SAVE THE PATIENT MULTIPLE TRIPS, AND GET THE PATIENT INTO THE MAINSTREAM WITH A TRUE DERMATOLGICAL DOCTOR NOT A NON TRAINED PRETEND PODIATRIST!
Robert, different mds have been referring their patients to me for my dermatoscopic opinions of foot problems. They are not familiar with this instrumentation yet trust my opinions. I then tell them the podiatric dermatoscopic exam results and they treat any systemic the problem. Furthermore, patients may not be aware of abnormal vessels in the toenail bed that are invisible to the naked eye. This abnormality could be picked up during an exam with a podiatrist using a dermatoscope. The podiatrist then can emphasize the importance of seeing the md and can have the md use a dermatoscope to confirm… Read more »
How much does the ‘scope’ cost? Why do you keep hustling this…Ano Ano—Times have changed with a crummy economy, and patient desire to visit limited license practitioners—You’ve been touting this for a while, sort of reminds of the used car salesman adding floor mats as part of the deal. Currently with mass uninsured, unemployment, COVID, and chaos—DO YOU REALLY believe patients will hop pop and skittle to the shoe Guru?
For those who cannot afford an expensive dermatoscope, Google it and see how cheap it is. One can even make their own dermatoscope for under $30 regarding contact dermoscopy. A digital camera can increase magnification. Polarized magnification is more expensive. One might get a non professional for $80. Expensive ones go for more than $1000. If contact dermoscopy is so cheap, why don’t more mds, dpms nurses use this modality or google how to make one and learn about it? My opinion: So what if you cannot bill separately for using this. We became podiatrists mainly to help our patients,… Read more »
By asking people to go to your fake journal you are actually trying to DRUM UP INTERENT HITS. A little business move, DAN? and your guess that most podiatrist agree with you is pure fantasy. NO ONE IS GOING TO SPEND $1,000 and 3 years doing what a NON MD podiatrists says. If it’s NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR MD DERMATOLOGIST THAT’S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME. I’LL TAKE AN MD DERMATOLGIST OVER A PODIATRIST EVERYTIME. You claim to be so altruistic but it’s obvious you want to get some notoriety from your self made invented “journal”.

Robert, my patient whose toes began to grow back by soft tissue granulation was an md. An md would who is aware of me, understand the importance of dermatoscopic surgery and had a favorable result. This md has friends who are mds who now know that dermatoscopic surgery can prevent pain and morbidity. The whole problem is your typical patient who is not an md would not know any better that there would have been a podiatrist who could have used dermatoscopic surgery to avoid transmetatarsal amputation. Non mds probably would have opted to listen to a vascular doctor and… Read more »
the only anomaly is starring at silly shoes and getting stress relief whilst singing. Or thinking they’re a doctor. that’s a derangement. That can be picked up within 10 sec talking to a DP WTF. Some even play with microscopes and think they’re dermatopathologists. WHY WHY WHY would anyone go through a circuitious farcical route of the DP WTF, when the shortest distance is to go straight to a real doctor???????
Why would anyone stare at silly shoes?
There was some lifer who wrote into a shysters propaganda rag about being thankful for funny shoe pictures because it gave him stress relief…..where o where was dorsiflexion? Was hiding on the frontal plane?
FOR STRESS RELIEF! THAT’S WHAT YOU SAID. This is ABNORMAL! These types of perverted personalities are what make podiatry a tertiary trade. MD’s are too mature compared to podiatrists.
Danny Boys, sicko.
Dan Boy sure did. Remember writing into barry propaganda blast stating you were in need of ‘stress relief’ and like looking at his silly shoe pics. Say aaah.
Your last sentence is the relevant honest one. BTW, if you’re “examining” COVID toes are YOU being tested every week? Are your employees (if you have any) informed of their risk and tested? Are you taking temps and fumigating your reception room? Even if you see ONE SUSPECTED COVID Toe you may be LEGALLY LIABLE for the above and YOUR PODIATRY BOARD MAY HOLD YOUR LICENSE RESPONSIBLE FOR ENDANGERING THE PUBLIC. This is no time to PLAY doctor. COVID is NOT LIKE A STUPID WART VIRUS and is better treated by someone with a MEDICAL DEGREE. (that’s an MD degree).… Read more »
Maybe the MD’s that you say have been referring to you think your a DOCTOR OR A DERMATOLOGIST. I can’t believe they’d think a NON MD PODIATRIST would be an authority or even licensed to do what is not standard of care or part of the training in foot school.
Robert, the mds referring patients to me are well aware of the pictures and PowerPoint presentations at http://www.journalofdermoscopy.com After I perform my dermatoscopic exam, I have to refer back to an md so that the systemic conditions affecting other body parts are affected. The problem is so many mds and dpms are not using dermoscopy. The degree one has is not as important as the knowledge and experiece using this instrumentation regarding diagnosis of a wide field of structures and patterns invisible to the naked eye missed by a narrow specimen sent to a pathologist. Also important is dermatoscopic foot… Read more »

It is the dermatoscope and me studying this instrumentation approx 3 years that allows me to better understand debridement of foot wounds before such debridement is actually performed. http://www.journalofdermoscopy.com Without propper instrumentation, no matter what degree one has, how can the results be improved?… Read more »
Enjoy giving powder point presentations to customers.
Flatus, you have not idea how good it is to hear from you. I do not think of them as customers. By the way, a customers never receive free care during a pandemic, but patients do. After all how can any one turn away people who need help just because they are not in an insurance plan you accept.
Why did you write into the mental midget barristers rag stating that looking at silly shoe pics gives you “stress relief”? Is that normal? Or podiatrick?
This is a response to your question Robert. My patient whose toes grew back was a physician who refused the hospital standard of care and had the opportunity to leave a hospital setting to see me for dermatoscopic foot surgery where the soft tissue in his gangrenous toes grew back . This physician and his wife told other physicians what happened. Thus my referrals increased. Dermatoscopic foot surgery is real. This physician was smart and now quite happy and no more foot pain or gangrenous toes.
Sorry, I just don’t believe most of your story. I think “you think” you did something special and you’re looking for attention. That’s my opinion. Have a nice session.
The physician my patient and his wife not only believe this happened, they are encouraging me to spread the word as to the positive results. There is no guarantee this exact situation can be repeated. Most patients opt for standard of care transmetatarsal amputations because they are not presented with other choices. This physician and choose a different alternative. Maybe if he was not a physician and did not know of me, he would have chose to go along with the vascular doctors standard of care recommendation of there being a window for a transmetatarsal amputation. Dermatoscopic foot surgery is… Read more »
No it’s not. You had one non peer reviewed case. You do not use a dermatoscope to perform surgery. Does yours have a knife on it?
Why not go directly to a real doctor? Why are you still hocking this drek and being a middle man/intermediary during the plandemic? Why not go to medical school and become a dermatopathologist or dermatologist? Don’t be a podiatric fill in the blank. You know….podiatric radiologist, podiatric urologist. Dan, you could be podiatric singer! Or podiatric silly shoe stress reliever?
What specific purpose does the DP WTF serve anony Dan? Another Middle man? Flim flam man? Charlatan? Conman? Helpdapatient stan. As Robert says, go directly to a real doctor and stop putzing around with a DP WTF. Who cares if your super duper microscope is 50x mag? You’re still a WTF. The cognitive dissonance is eye watering. Now–That’s the rate limiting step Dan. That’s the c (constant). Youre justa podiatrist. Doesnt matter how big that micrscopic member is. You understand?

Fettucini: great summary of podiatry with the term ‘OPPORTUNISTIC DPWTF’S”. So true that, wtfs do not serve any integral role. Answer that criticism APMA. Podiatrists hover around and clean up the scraps the MD doesn’t want to bother with. For years the truth about the podiatry SCAM has been exposed and I can’t think of even ONE COUNTER ARGUMENT. If we were wrong and libelous wouldn’t the schools and/or the APMA counter? Don’t fall for the “we can’t bother” arguments. It’s not that they can’t argue, they can’t prove us wrong! Podiatry skims on a scam.
Fettuccini
You do not understand that all the magnification in the world does not allow you to see structures and patterns beneath the skin. This is what dermoscopy allows. I do not mean Even a layperson can learn dermoscopy.
It involves memorizing logic and some common sense.
I just wish more dpms would study about dermoscopy.
For less than $40 one can make their own contact dermatoscopy with a slide light and magnification from a cell phone. Try googling this idea.
Even a nonmedical person can learn about dermoscopy. I am hopeful that more mds dpms will use this instrumentation.
They’re not doctors. With due respect, Are you this dense?
Podiatrists are non medical. MD’s are medical. Podiatrist are NON MD technicians with a self (mostly non university) adorned “doctorate”.
Actually Robert a podiatrist can use the term doctor as long as they include the word podiatrist.
Perhaps instead of saying mr podiatrist, in NYS a more accurate phrase would be doctor podiatrist.
You must use both words together. You cannot use the word doctor without podiatrist in NYS.
You can’t PRETEND TO BE A DERMATOLOGIST WITHOUT AN MD EITHER DAN AND A PODIATRIST NOT MAKING A TIMELY REFERRAL IS COMITTING UNPROFESSIONAL CONDUCT AND COULD LOSE HIS LICENSE! WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS NOT STANDARD OF CARE NOR STANDARD OF EDUCATION FOR NON MD PODIATRIST. YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING ABNORMAL AND NOT IN SCOPE.
How about podiatry frauds? Cannot have word fraud Without podiatry in new yaaawwk shitty.
MD’s don’t have to qualify what type of DOCTOR THEY ARE BECAUSE AN MD CAN BE ANY KIND OF DOCTOR. Only NON DOCTOR pretender middleman types need to PROTECT THE PUBLIC FROM FRUADULENT BELIEF THT THEY ARE “ACTUAL” DOCTORS . When you have to ‘QUALIFY’ the term it’s because you are NOT actually a PURE representation of the term.
I guess the glove has been flicked across the face of the ABFAS and the duel is on. Rogers and Felner have challenged Lombardi. I thought this might just be a little wedge for leverage but it looks like the ABPM is going the full 9 yards after the ABFAS as “THE POWER IN PODIATRY”. Perhaps justifiably, because the ABFAS has BULLIED the profession with threats while flunking about half even after 3 years of training! What threat?

There is a new podiatry website http:www.podiatrychat.com

Podiatrychat.com is a good place to be. You will never guess in a million years who set up podiatrychat.com
I will give you 3 guesses.
Dan you are using SETH’S SITE to SELL YOUR OWN. YOU ARE A PODIATRIST IN ALL NEGATIVE CONNOTATIONS OF THE TERM.
I recall podiatryposts.com has a comment what is new in the world of podiatry. There are discussions some off and some on topic. This is one reason why the moderator has every right to approve of a comment a link etc…
My sites contain so much information related to podiatry it is much easier to post a link than to post all that information in a comment. If the moderator did not approve of a post containing a link it never would get approved.
It is not negative for a link to be posted which shares knowledge, chats opinions etc…
What exactly is a positive comment? Non truths?
A new podiatry site
http://www.podiatrychat.com
Guess who made this site?
Danny Boy? Someday some where over the sad rainbow maybe perhaps podiatry will change ? . Nope. It can’t.
Some at PodiatryPosts.com give negative feedback about podiatry websites. Is podiatryposts.com the worst website out there or is it a good site to read. Please advise for your opinions.
HOW CHEAP, HOW LOW, ARE IMMORAL, HOW PODIATRIC YOU ARE. YOU MAKE ME ASHAMED OF PODIATRY. IT’S NOT PODIATRY THAT’S BAD PER SE, IT’S THE BAD PEOPLE IN IT THAT MAKES IT A DIRTY PROFESSION.
Robert, all men are brothers. Giving free care to those who cannot afford it whose insurance I do not participate during a pandemic is not immoral or cheap. We are all brothers.
Actually Robert, anyone that treats the feet has to get down low to treat them. So technically I and other podiatrists are in a low position to treat them.
I apologize for the typo.
I meant is podiatrychat.com the worst website out there or is it a good site to read.
I never would say anything thing negative about podiatry posts. I like Seth and he is a friend.
Please forgive me Seth for the typo.
I was being critical of podiatrychat.com not podiatryposts.com
“YOU HAVE NO ACTUAL ROLE IN THE MANAGEMENT OF SERIOUS DISEASE”. game set match.
Therefor YOU are not an actual DOCTOR Mister P. You were SOLD the title. P.A.’s are far more a DOCTOR than a dp wtf.
I understand that some might even think that podiatrychat.com might be maybe the worst website out there. Well you might be entitled to your opinons. I tried to make podiatrychat.com an honest website.
THIS IS AN HONEST WEB SITE. HOW DARE YOU INFER OTHERWISE AND STILL POST HERE AND TRY TO PULL PEOPLE AWAY. IN MY OPINION YOU ARE A LOW LIFE LIFER PODIATRIST.
Robert, I am only human. I apologize for the typo.
I meant to be critical of podiatrychat.com
A website I set up.
Robert, a low life does not give free podiatry care to patients during a pandemic that cannot afford to pay for such care.
I try my best to help my patients.
I discovered dermatoscopic foot surgery, published it, and encouraged others to use it.
By posting different opinions make podiatryposts.com busier.
By the way, it is so important to get along.
This is also one reason for PodiaTrust in each other!
Join a podiatry society that has no dues!
This is what is new in podiatry.
Why pay dues one cannot afford to pay?
A low life advertises his business on someone else’s site.
There is so much information and pictures to br shared free of charge to the readers by placing links to http//www.journalofdermoscopy.com
If there was anything wrong with this Seth would remove those links.
The problem is that there are other podiatry publications out there that I feel edit out what I believe to be relative important points. I will never mention names because I believe one should emphasize the positive points in others.
Do you still pay shysters and speghettis at that foot club for protection?
Robert, I want you to remember that gaoing out in a pandemic giving free care to those who cannot afford it is not a low life. Remember that all men are brothers and we all need to care for each other.
ALL MEN ARE NOT “BROTHERS”! Their only commonality is being HOMO SAPIENS. Any attribution beyond the strict scientific Darwinian selection definition is pure RELIGIOUS MAN MADE MORAL MYTHOLOGY without objective verification.

He looks at Barry’s outrrrrageous shoe pics and writes in about getting stress relief. Wtf? Brain damage from years of lying to oneself. He also thinks Jokeseph is brillant. Eagerly Laps up the podiatrys sht.
I am learning a lesson. I can try my best to get along and become friends with everyone. I realize may never succeed, but I will not give up hope.
Gotta keep trying to emphasize the positive in everyone. ( Especially podiatrists, because we all took oaths to help our patients.)
Self introspection of YOUR insecurities will go a long way to “get along”. You have been graphically explained why others think your allegations are borderline quack. Instead of thinking about it you continue deeper down the rabbit hole. That doesn’t engender respect. My opinion is that YOU are looking for ATTENTION to rationalize your mediocre career and your inability to leave NEW YORK State as you so often indicated you were trying to do. You’ve explained that your lack of residency precludes you from going where you want. PODIATRY FAILED MANY LIKE YOU AND IRONICALLY YOU STILL KEEP PAYING AND… Read more »
I am licensed in New Jersey as a podiatric physician with the ability to treat the lower leg, ankle and foot. New Jersey has podiatrists under the State Board of Medical Examiners. They can use their discretion to grant a license to qualified podiatrist with experience but who lacked formal approved residency training. I recieved in hospital training by the cases I assisted on and experience by the cases I operated on and taught podiatric residents. With this in hospital non approved training and experience I was then able to as surgeon of record book one of the first joint… Read more »
I tried to post 6 important opinions at a nationwide podiatry magazine which were not printed.
These 6 are listed at http://www.podiatrychat.com
I am hopeful if enough podiatrists write into the publisher requesting they get published the editor may actually publish them.
Please help. Please spread the word about these 6 opinions and ask to get them published by the editor.
They probably weren’t published because they’re similar in quality to what you write here. Once again I see you are using the Podiatry Post to advertise YOUR OWN SITE. As the English would say, “BAD BUSINESS, OLD MAN”.
Positive info is one thing. Self aggrandizement and unscientifically proved theories are another. Do much ankle and leg surgery Dan? Do NJ hospitals allow non surgically boarded non MD to do surgery? If so, that doesn’t speak much for Jersey. I find it unusual that they let you do anything let alone let you BE THE FIRST TO DO ANYTHING. Does Lombardi know and agree with what you SAY you did?
That doesn’t speak much for Jersey is a statement I disagree with. If New Jersey allows podiatric physicians to be first assistants for general surgeons, that’s positive news for New Jersey. Robert, I recall in the past you kept emphasizing nys that does not allow podiatrists to call themselves podiatric physicians. By the way, I have a lot of good things to say about all the mds who know and agree with what I say I did regarding http//www.journalofdermoscopy.com Robert, you kept say mds know a lot especially those who participated in the care of my patient who is an… Read more »
I also had a license in PA also including the ankle, and foot. My point is that NYS is the most restrictive state. Practically all of my practice is in N.Y.S.
If I ever want to increase scope I could move to New Jersey or any other state that is wise enough to look beyond any podiatric residency criteria.
I am fortunate to be board certified by ABPM.
There you go Robert. I am proud to be a podiatrist.
I enjoy practicing.
See, here you’re claiming ankle and leg proudly but on the NY side where YOU MAKE YOUR MONEY! you degrade ankle or “major” procedures based on an OLD NYS DEFINTION. If you can’t do sx in NY you shouldn’t do sx in PA or NJ. YOU WERE NOT TRAINED OR HAD A PROGRAM TO KNOW WHAT THOSE THAT HAD KNOW!
“YOU have to be suffering from a real mental condition to refuse to believe that PODIATRY SHOULDN’T EXIST” Robert, regarding the above comment that I recall reading, I disagree. Podiatry has helped so many patients, stopped pain and morbidity. Yes Robert, I am emphasizing all the positive aspects of podiatry. As far as hospitals go, if a hospital is unfair such as in NYS one can always complain to the NYS board of health and get them to investigate a hospitals impropper denial of privileges. Guess what Robert. The NYS Public Health Council does help in certain cases. There are… Read more »
Newsflash Robert: I don’t care what you think regarding me. What I do care about is helping my patients. Regarding your comment: “I find it unusual that they let you do anything let alone let you BE THE FIRST TO DO ANYTHING”. This was in a hospital OR. I did the first or second joint implant with grommets and again taught an attending as well as podiatric residents who all gathered around me to learn from me. Yes Robert, this is all true. By the way, I did not just walk into the OR and do this. This was after… Read more »
Self serving advocacy for those who FLUNKED the Surgical Exam. Poor Dan, so talented but no one seems to recognize it. If you have so many licenses and scopes why do you stay in NY where you’re treated like a fancy chiropodist? Why have you written year after year about the same problem you’ve had in NY, yet still stay? As for + statements for podiatry. I can find + statement for Jeffery Dahmer if I ignore the – ones. Podiatry has failed you and anyone who EXPECTED COMPLETE TRAINING. Podiatry CONNED students into thinking they’d receive competent training. Look… Read more »
Oh, btw. If you really think there actually is such a thing as a “podiatric PHYSICIAN” you have swallowed the Kool Aid and are truly delusional.
Are you mentally ill?singer
Delusional -brainwashed. Leg and ankle surgeon. Proud moron. Still pays dues……
