I’m not following the logic of what’s going on here in Pod. Post. Comments are made in response to other comments and sometimes they’re there and sometimes not. In this section I had 4 responses to Anonymous who’s not anonymous, Dan Chaskin. None printed. Just a delay? Opposed? It’s hard to follow the time frame to know what’s what. Don’t want to repeat comments but do want to know if they’re banned. I, for one, would appreciate a clarification. Being just a simple podiatrist I may be missing a point. Anyway, if I may comment on the new New York… Read more »
Somethings off Robert. Same thing here. We got a stockholm syndrome man boy talking about love, positive thoughts, toenail warnings, we’re brothers, be safe and other mental drivel, yet, critical, in-depth insight and truths are being omitted, or “deleted.”
Every other forum I participate in has this type of format: https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/ In those type of forums you may post a new topic, insert images, etc. Each topic has a timeline. This is the only forum I belong to where you have to go deep into a post to see the latest replies. This is counter-intuitive. And what’s the point of doing a profile if it can’t be accessed by anyone else? Oh, sorry, I was able to click on TimBrouceqrw and got directed to a Chinese bride website (nice bikini).

That’s my brother, Daniel Chaskin. A fool, indeed !
YA, ZEE BRAIN WASHING VAS SUCCESSFUL! Podiatrist CHISEL em calls Leonard Levy the ‘GREAT’ AND “NO ONE IS MORE QUALIFIED” to turn the sows ear of podiatry to the silk purse of M.D./DO. Only one problem, Levy FAILED in all his decades at a DO school to get podiatry looked at let alone an MD school. Chiesel em says, in a mechanical brainwashed statement, that DPM=MD=DO. Now, wouldn’t the APMA love him for that? The old lie that podiatry is equivalent in training and education is parroted back. I guess the 3 major course foot TECHNICIANS, YES TECHNICIANS, DON’T GET… Read more »
Don’t wait until your toenails get infected is good advice. The beauty of this is patients do go online. If patients were to read this as well as have podiatrists tell them this , they might seek care from a podiatrist for an ingrown toenail and perhaps avoid sn infection.
My opinion is this is an example of podiatry helping the public. Treating that ingrown toenail before it gets infected! This is a wonderful service to the public as well as newsworthy! I am appreciative to any magazine that publishes this information.
DAN: it’s just plain ADVERTISING. Don’t put lipstick on the PODIATRIC PIG!
All due respect Anomyous ! But 4 years college plus 4 years podiatrist school plus residency equals infected toe advice??!!

Am appreciate to anyone who sings fictional podiatry music! Wash those shoes, sing those barry blues.
It sounds like a soundtrack to “The Exorcist”…
The family practice group down the street that referred patients to me for years, the hospital bought there practice and they hired a PA, the PA is doing ingrown nails, heel spur injections, and…..orthotics. Thats the future , Im quitting at age 60 this December and hopefully can sell my practice to my young associate who is strapped up to 300k in school loans. The three year Pod residency is a waste !!!! The Podiary profession is sinking and no one will talk about it.
Robert. The podiatry profession is not sinking. With such good advice being published such as treat that ingrown toenail before it gets infected, please read this again and again. I believe you will change your mind and agree with me podiatry is helpful to the public!
Treating ingrown toenails before they get infected is so important!
Daniel, you need help. Tighten up your keyboard chops, you’re going to need them next year.
I am confused. Why try to sell a practice to someone $300,000 in debt? Why can’t they start their own practice and have your patients choose to go wherever they want when a podiatrist retires?
Is a practice worth money???
“no one will talk about it” because a MAGICIAN never tells his secrets. Podiatric smoke and mirrors.
PM News notes the hiring of a podiatrist board certified by ABLES. Forget ABPM, or ABFAS. ABLES ? As in “I’m not ABLES to pass even the pathetic representations of podiatry boards recognized by podiatrists” ? ABLES ? I suppose she’s gonna hit the Earl “Boots” Horowitz boards next. Maybe certification in forensic podiatry. Why not become a professional coder ? Christina’s lover boy Lehrman is. Lots of letters to suffix your name and at least something in common with allopathic medicine in coding. ABLES ? Any ACGME based trading required for this one ? As in “I’m ready, willing,… Read more »
Great summary of alphabet soup of Podiatry!!
I love: “COLLECT THEM ALL”! Just like collecting cereal box tops in the 50’s to earn a prize. That’s podiatry and its SELF MADE UP CERTIFICATES OF ACIEVEMENT.
You too? I’d nab a box of Cap’n Crunch looking for the prize—Usually a piece of crap. Don’t know what a ‘certificate of achievement is’—It’s just dopey. Do good and good will come to you.
CERTIFICATE OF ACHIEVEMENT=C.O.A.=DPM
Podiatry Posts can be a place for podiatrists to socialize, meet friends and discuss the positive aspects of our profession.
Please everyone wear a mask and stay safe.
That was a decent post ANO ANO. However, be mindful that the positive aspects are lessening thanks to ‘extenders’ and criticisms of the P governing elements, it was thoughtful, positive and appropriate—I do agree that an ingrown nail should be addressed posthaste. Be mindful that reasonable men/women differ in opinions (conflict), but respect your tenacity and beliefs.
If you need podiatry post to meet friends you have a psycho-social mental disorder.
Danny Boy believes that shyster shlock’s toenail articles are heartfelt. They are marketing /advertizing to provide opportunistic dp wtfs revenue streams to line their shyster pockets.. Like realturds/realtards /mortgage BROKErs “news” “articles” buy buy buy/sell sell ell. Now’s the time to buy, now’s the time to sell. SCum of the earth like dp wtfs.
That was awesome Dr. Hallux. How many can you get before you’re pushing up daisies? Ask Boots Toots. podiatry “boards”= $. Hustlers , hucksters and Shysters all.
Damn Hallux Guy, that was a good post. ABLES? What is it? Eh…another wise phrase is: “when the number of letters following your name is greater than the number of letters comprising your name you have arrived.” But where have you driven?

Another classic from Eddy: “If you don’t have the goods, you den be da hoods”! Man that summarizes the seamy side of podiatry perfectly. Good show,’ol man. ‘A bit of all right, “Right you are”, You gave it to them “good and proper”, “lovely”. Hey why not? Barry Block cites the U.K. foot technicians often enough. We should learn their language, “the bleeders”.
Podiatry August 14, 2020. A couple of young pods got a job. Ingrown toenail news. How to bill for a procedure taught and sold by a company. A Pod died. Criticism by a LIFER as to why podiatrists aren’t close to being MD’s. after 20 years of APMA INCOMPETENCE AND STALLING. (more like 40 years) An ambiguous question about obtaining a ??”common degree”?? instead of attaching to the MD/DO mainstream. For 40 years claims of being equivalent, just like, parity and failure to understand why we’re not MD’s.. How can everyone continue to ignore the INCOMPLETE AND INFERIOR CLINICAL YEARS?… Read more »
More of nothing. Yet Danny Boys and Co continue to support, Stockholm Syndromed fools dancing to a warped perverted shoe pic beat. Aaah
Actually a podiatrist could cut the shoe to all6pressure off an ingrown toenail before it gets infected. This is one reason why I feel it is important to publish about ingrown toenails and propper she fit! I believe this is a huge part of what podiatry is about. I told you the importance of emphasizing the positive. Looking for good points about podiatry. I am proud to be a podiatrist and to treat ingrown toenails. I am proud to make sure patients do not have tight shoegear pressing on their ingrown toenails before they get infected.
AA, as a caveat, prescribing corticoporin neomynce,polymyxin (otic or ophthalmic)—along with removing shoe pressure—to apply in the peri-ungual tissue has proven (at least to me and colleagues) to be helpful. A few drops a few times a day. Much less invasive than excision…This is written up in Medline and NCBI…after decades of this protocol have found this a pretty good treatment (some pharmacists may give pods a Q & A), but the sensibility and explanation will work—You spare the patient an often uncomfortable scenario. By the way the viscosity of the ‘otic’ vis ‘ophthalmic’ is minimal. I think you’re catching… Read more »

Wait a second. Robert. I recall reading in pm news something that said don’t wait till your ingrown toenails get infected. I believe the editor tries his best to inform us of what to tell our patients. Let us all try to empasize the positive in everyone!
All do respect Ano you are kidding?
Poor simple thinking DAN. Don’t you see that “Emphasizing the positive” is also saying “BURY THE NEGATIVE”? BARRY BLOCK SUCKERS PEOPLE LIKE YOU into feeling good about podiatry “as is” thus supporting his advertisers who then GIVE BARRY BLOCK THE MONEY YOU SPEND WITH THEM. You’re gullibility is embarrassing and proves that podiatry consists of a large group of podiatrists that are not intellectually trustworthy to do anything but “minor” procedures, like the P.A.-helper-technician they are.
I recall reading in a podiatrist magazine…blah blah blah. I recall seven effing years of a GS residency—anything can get infected…Who’re you, the Last Boyscout…I know I know: This is my opinion and blah blah blah…Sonny boy, if you write a post IT IS your opinion! Wow, I really went to college, and read Elements in Style. Of course it’s your opinion, why qualify it?
Dan’s deathly afraid of LAW SUITS.
Robert, one has to have money on their name for any lawyer to take the case.
Robert, you told me not to address you with my posts. Well, if you speak about me, newsflash, do not be surprised if I address posts to you.
By the way, “All men are brothers. We must be kind to each other. This is what podiatry should be all about. Helping our patients, emphasizing the positive.”
Are you brain damaged? Seriously, are you brain damaged?
Treating ingrown toenails before they get infected is not nothing. My opinion is it is a big part of what podiatry is all about. Tnank you PM News. This is a vital service to many patients. This is one reason I became a podiatrist. As far as shoes, if a shoe is too tight this could cause an ingrown toenail to become infected. A podiatrist could cut out the portion of the shoe to alleviate pressure on the ingrown toenail. They also could refer to a pedorthist. A podiatrist could use contact gel on a toenail plate, pick up a… Read more »
Ingrown toenails should be treated before they get infected. This is news worthy of publication. Thank you for publishing this valuable piece of news. You are appreciated.
I meant to post this as a seperate topic. People sometimes complain that valid points are not published in podiatric magazines. This opinion I believe to be very pro ABPM: These are my opinions and I was hoping that others will write into a national podiatric publications to get them published regarding ABPM board cerification vs all those who insist on board certification in foot and ankle surgery for access to the operating room. Why use a credential in foot and ankle surgery if everyone who is board certified with a lifetime certificate in NYS may not have performed major… Read more »
ANO ANO: Major procedures? Podiatry board certification is NOT recognized by the ABMS, podiatry ‘residencies’ are NOT recognized as residency — A pod is a pod is a pod no matter how hard you try are limited by three letters—Shit, I cannot do a bunion procedure (thank the Almighty), but can open a chest—If I had boner to twiddle toes I could — Holding yourself out as a ‘wound’ expert is – if you’re not a GS ORS VS is a behind closed doors joke. A nationwide magazine? Sure. By pods for pods to pods…maybe one of the sub-specialty journals… Read more »
Spot on, The only profession with 17 different board certifications LOL. NONE recognized by ABMS and again your spot on, residencies in Podiatry..not ACGME certified and 3 years? LOL all for a limited license where a PA and NP can do the same or more. Podiatry is Dead but they just dont want to recognize that.
Podiatry wont use ABMS or ACGME..they need to generate money for those who run Podiatry’s own groups, thats more important than joining main stream medicine. Delusional people run the APMA ACFAS CPME etc etc
I’ve been AABPS certified and never heard of a LIFETIME CERTIFICATE! What are you talking about? Where in NYS Law
OOPS! Hit the wrong button. Where in NYS LAW does it say that “ALL treatment of ALL foot wounds are within the scope of board certification in Podiatric Medicine”???!!! Where are the terms ‘MAJOR’ stated? Where is “MAJOR” DEFINED? DAN you continue to “TRY TO FIND RELEVANCE AND EXCUSES FOR WHY YOU WERE NOT ACCEPTED TO A PROGRAM AND WHY YOU ARE NOT SURGICALLY BOARD CERTIFIED. Whether a hospital “grants” certain privilege’s is a SEPARATE ISSUE than being BOARD CERTIFIED IN (podiatric!) SURGERY. The two ARE mutually exclusive and each has separate meanings and definitions. You are erroneously “parsing” rhetoric… Read more »
Rober, nys law says nothing about foot wounds being within the scope of board certification. Nys law did after 1996 license podiatrists to treat all kinds of osseous foot surgery both minor and major. Robert, if you post your email address I will send you interesting information.
NO they didn’t! They allowed ONLY THOSE podiatrists who did a 3 year apprenticeship and met set criteria to do ankle surgery. They have to have a NYS “ANKLE CERTIFICATE”. Again you mix up SCOPE with Board Certification. You don’t catch on too quick do you?
Robert, did you have to present cases approximately every 10 years and or pass a test to maintain your board certification?
YES!
You are not a doctor nor surgeon. How many ankle fx and fusions do you perform annually? Psychosis, loss of contact with reality.
are you brain damaged? Seriously, are you brain damaged? What part of the evidence presented in podposts do you not understand regarding podiatry’s absymal failures? Are you still paying dues or looking at barry’s propaganda blast silly shoe pictures for ‘stress relief’?
Podiatry will NEVER join main stream medicine even though as of 2020 its lying in the gutter dying, too much money to be made by all the groups all the way to the end. They fail to realize that PAs and NPs will dominate foot care and insurance companies will limit elective foot surgery. Remember, if these guys were smart they would be in a real medical school, but this level of intelligence only is self serving and not for the good of everyone. That is why Podiatry is DOA.
Oh, they’re smart, but smart in “money to be made” not academics. They’re “doctorate” should be in podiatric ECONOMICS. Perhaps there should be another board.
Robert, during this pandemic my guess is most podiatrists are volunteering to treat patients without insurance and without enough money for food for free! I am guessing this is what podiatry is all about for most podiatrists. Not money, but helping poeple!
PLEASE DON’T ADDRESS YOUR POSTS TO ME. ADDRESS THEM TO THE POD POSTERS OF WHICH I’M JUST ONE OF.
“if these guys were smart they would be in a real medical school,” please read this again and again and again Danny Boys. There was a leg lengthening Dpwtf “surgeon” that got jail time. Pizza man. Ankle fusing and fractures?! Is this what you do? why would a patient want a non doctor non physician to OPERATE on them?????!!! did the foot ASSociation clubs pamplets and smiling ghastworthshit help you with this? or are you still in awe of joksephs “brillance”?! old fool lifer. youll never learn–that’s why youre a Dp wtf.
A physician who was a patient of mine now is happy that it was a podiatrist who invented a new procedure to heal his infected gangrenous toes using dermatoscopic surgery which resulted in the toes growing back.
Http:/www.jourmalofdermoscopy.com
Also I recall there was a national magazine that published about treating ingrown toenails before they get infected. Seth, if you email me your phone number, my patient might call you and give you more details.
These are 2 positive points about podiatry!
Podiatry needs to be ‘destroyed.’ You have a rotting house with a bad foundation and terrible floor plan–irrepairable? What imbecile would build on top of that? Or think of ‘renovating?’ Hell no. You demolish the ‘house’ and rebuild anew. However, as most know of podiatry posts, 98.7% of dp wts were brain dead, and the lifer ‘leaders’ knew how to bs their way with PC hope/jive/ polly speak and bs someday promises (read old loss leader levvies someday someday propaganda to help lure more warm asses to fill the plastic seats–wonder who’s paying him or hiring him as a CONsultant).… Read more »

Must’ve gone on to Springerville–
Hey, nice with the FFFU (fraudlent field of f ups) may have to steal it.
If one is honest, having problems making a living, this is not fraud. Its helping people.
I was going to lift that too—But we don’t rip our bros…unless we ask and cite. Then again you could call it ‘repurposing’—but still have to give citation—So, where is the town chiropodist in Andy of Mayberry?
My opinion is podiatry is not about making money but helping people. A podiatrist can have a spouse support them or maybe get a second job to support a podiatrists practice.
My guess is an md degree might lead to better opportunities for making a living.
I am proud to be a podiatrist because of all the people I helped.
PLEASE GO BACK TO BARRY BLOCK! YOUR’E HIS KIND OF THINKER
I must have have fallen into some type of time warp BACK IN TIME. I’m reading the same things I did 40+ years ago. Leonard Levy comes to the epiphany that we should get an MD/DO soon. He’s been hired I believe to imply podiatry really is a SECOND CHANCE. Doesn’t anyone realize that this promise has been made for a half a century and LEVY WAS A BUREAUCRAT and FAILED TO GET PODIATRY IN ANY DOOR. Someday my ass! Levy says WHY NOT TODAY ? I can’t believe I’m re living what I did 40+ years ago. OLD Man… Read more »
The podiatry mantra, don’t educate, legislate. That’s been the plan for years! Hopefully I will be laying my nippers down by the end of the year. 40 years later, still the same scam. Seven years to treat a small part of the body. Criminal.
Quite solemn in podiatry: the nipper laying down ceremony. There’s the ,= 80yo rite. The latter makes you a “podiatric ICON”
Treating ingrown toenails before the get infected. this is important. I read this.
Good post R. Ponder how/why the ACFAS is missing the letter P—What’s the difference between ACFAS and AAOFAS? Someone slipped through a portal in the space-time continuum.
The following are my personal opinions:
Please say positive things about everyone including the editor of PM News. For example I recall PM news posted useful information we can use to tell our patients. I recall reading an article Aug 17 2020 that said not to wait until an ingrown toenail gets infected.
I believe this is an example of a publication that cares about preventing infected ingrown toenails. We all know complications that can occur from ingrown toenails. Thank you PM News. Robert, let us try to emphasize the positive in everyone. All men are brothers.
There’s realities and truths and there’s falsehoods. No such thing as positive or negative. You feel/perceive realities and then label them —bc the truths are incongruent with your us happy talk, rainbow, gum drops illusions/mythologies. Cognitive dissonance fest. Hence, You cannot handle the truth. So you lie to yourself like 98.7% of the dipsht us populace. A few good pods.
No they’re not! You miss the point because you’re not bright. re: ingrown toenails. It’s not that they’re infected, dummy. A Boy Scout knows about infections. It’s that PODIATRY and podiatrists make an NEWS ISSUE about such a simple OBVIOUS POINT! That’s because most of all it does it simple obvious conditions. Did you get this much attention from your parents? Are you enjoying the attention even though it proves you the fool? A PERSONAL PSYCHOSIS seems to be behind a lot of podiatric reasoning. BTW: YOU MUST BE AFRAID OF BEING SUED BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS PREFACE YOUR STATEMENT WITH… Read more »
THE POSITIVES ARE A GIVEN. IT’S THE NEGATIVES THAT WE MUST ATTACK, DEFEAT, AND WIN, AND YOU’RE NOT HELPING!
Seth I think he’s ok because he mentions over and over see Doctor., real one! Just cheap podiatrist ad .
Looks like something a WTF copied and pastied to appear doctorish. What say you Dan Boy?
addendum: You are either a DOCTOR OR NOT. THE M.D. IS STILL THE GOLD STANDARD (even of the foot)…..PERIOD
Maybe the “gold standard’ but crusty, crumbly, bitter, and greedy—Historically in no time in modern history have more docs gone out on disability and/or bailed. So, some folks had a better GPA/MCAT scores…assholes are assholes are assholes and maybe during the golden era of the 80s things were different as they were for Porsche picking WTFs.

The big… Read more »
It’s a fine, clever, nuanced, ad that doesn’t purport to dx or tx yet is so intimately juxtaposed with the writer as to leave the IMPRESSION HE IS MORE THAN HE IS. Very wtf’y
Wait a second. Robert, does an md use a dermatoscope before cutting toenails?
The use of a dermatoscope and sterilized instrumentation is the gold standard. What if a MicroHutchensen sign is missed? What if a pseudohutchenson sign is wrongly biopsied. The degree does not matter without correct instrumentation!
MD’S DON’T CUT TOENAILS. THEY SEND THEM TO THE DPM FOOT TECHNICIANS.
This is a perfect example of the EDUCATIONAL MALPRACTICE the Quack schools provide. The White Coat ceremonies, stethoscopes around the neck of “dentists of the foot”, calling them “DOCTOR”, saying they’re “just like”, they’re surgeons, they’re limb salvationists etc. etc.. They make these NON MD “dr’s”THINK they actually know systemic medicine! Someone needs to remind them that they are NOT allowed to even give a Flu shot like a Pharmacist can, and after a half a century of APMA DUES PAYING, still need a NOTE TO CUT TOENAILS! Just the name: “CAST A FOOT PODIATRY” speaks to the NON PROFESSIONAL,… Read more »
Robert just to add to “we’re just like real doctors” In my state just reversed allowing Podiatrists to act in front lines against covid-19. New graduates take note..
“ACT” IS THE OPERATIVE WORD! DOING WHAT ON THE FRONT LINE? There is an AMBIGUOUS statement of “allowing to do based on training”. This may get a pod off the hook LEGALLY in a TEMPORARY national emergency but will dissipate like a plume of toenail dust when the real world precipitates out again. POINT: THERE IS NO REAL CHANGE IN PODIATRIC SCOPE.
This was taken from http://www.podiatrychat.com 1. My opinion is that board certification in foot and ankle surgery, does not guarantee surgical expertise in performing major foot surgeries. For example, the scope of practice in N.Y.S. was limited to operating on the bones, muscles, tendons of the feet for the correction of minor deficiencies, and deformities of a mechanical and functional nature. I feel if a podiatristNever left NYS, and obtained a lifetime certificate in foot surgery prior to 1996, full disclosure should be given, as to such scope of practice limitation, on the actual board certification certificate. Such certificate should… Read more »
Beautiful written … thank you
AGAIN you are WRONG! You confuse STATE scope with NATIONAL certification. MY certification says ANKLE. NY forbids ankle without a 3 yr rez and special license. A particular states refusal to accept the definition does not make it right for the profession or the ENTIRE U.S.. If that were the case, then ALL PODS IN ALL STATES WOULD BE DROPPED TO THE LEAST COMMON DENOMINATOR. You keep getting it wrong and that’s why year after year you say the same thing and are IGNORED.
YOU KNOW DAN, I think if someone GAVE YOU THE ANSWERS TO A TEST you’d still get it wrong. I answered your ERROR ABOVE about how you are confusing SCOPE WITH CERTIFICATION. You continue on a MERRY GO ROUND OF NONSENSICAL questioning about the SAME issue over and over until YOU THINK and try to UNDERSTAND what has been said. It’ analogous to a professor saying YOU HAVE THE WRONG ANSWER yet you repeat your answer trying to wear him down and relent giving you credit for the WRONG answer. I’m sorry to say this, but you’re not too bright… Read more »
These are my personal opinions:
How can one get board certified in major foot surgery if they are not licensed to perform this. If a certificate says board certified in surgery then I believe full disclosure should be given that out of scope foot procedures were not included in this board certification. For NYS podiatrists perhaps the certificate could say board certified in foot sugery excluding major procedures
Because major foot cases were out of scope before 1996 in NYS
Isn’t getting the answers to a test cheating? I believe most podiatrists are full of intergrety. They care about people more than making money especially during a pandemic.
You can’t even fathom an analogy. NO WONDER NO ONE GAVE YOU A PROGRAM.
These are my opinions and I was hoping that others will write into a national publication to get them published regarding ABPM board cerification vs all those who insist on board certification in foot and ankle surgery for access to the operating room. Why use a credential in foot and ankle surgery if everyone who is board certified with a lifetime certificate in NYS may not have performed major procedures due to any scope limitations preventing such major cases from being performed? If enough people ask this and if it gets published in a nationwide magazine, then perhaps hospitals may… Read more »
Thanks well thought out commentary!
You’ve written the same piece over and over in Barry Block and Alan Sherman
s blog for years. Now you’re trying to justify YOURSELF here and in your OWN MADE UP WEBSITE. Dan you are where your are and you won’t go any farther. Your support of the APMA was poorly chosen. They screwed you and a lot of podiatrists yet podiatrists are insecure and dumb enough to continue to give them money. You’re an easy mark for a CON MAN.
Robert, I am not being conned. When a national podiatry magazine publishes treat ingrown toenails before they get infected, this is not a con. I believe it represents a huge positive part about what podiatry is all about. These are my personal opinions.
If one has trouble earning a living in podiatry they can get a second job to support their podiatry profession! My opinion is helping people, being honest, trying ones best is more important than making money in podiatry.
“…MAJOR cases,” okay—name one, and then move on to MAJOR procedures. ANO ANO…a pod is a pod is a pod—NOTHING is MAJOR. Who’re you trying to kid, yourself? Discussed bunion surgery with a middle age lady, and told her to wait until the pain is unbearable, and then see an orthopedist—How come you lifers had to drop the P from your credential for pods by pods, and to pods? What are you ashamed of? The mainstream KNOWS (md/do/np, etc.)—Podiatry is a decent gig, but pushing yourself off as someone familiar with intricacies of organ systems, diseases states and comorbidities just… Read more »
Yes Eddy, podiatry is a “decent gig” and HAD value as it was. Once podiatry stepped “out of its class” it became the cheap suit of medicine. Podiatry came to the FORMAL banquet in CARHART BIB OVERALLS and steel toe capped shoes. Barry Block liked the shoes.
One does not have to have any degree to be familiar with the intricacies of organ systems, disease states and comorbidities. There are medical texts, the internet etc… There are mds willing to teach about this. By the way, there is so much to learn, an md Can always learn and continuing to grow in knowledge. So can a DPM that puts in additional time and studying. The one difference is the DPM refers to an md that is actually licensed to treat a systemic condition and the entire body. This is why I would now like to have an… Read more »
ANO ANO there is NO difference if the pseudo ‘Board Certication” puts spring your step—The P people strut about as if—AS IF—Board Certification in the P (which drops the P to misdirect)…Uppity pods are still pods.

Here’s why you’re wrong again. IF, I said IF, the ABPM is added to the surgical certification it just adds to the PROOF PODIATRY IS AN UNSTANDARDIZED SUSEPECT PROFESSION. You already have the ABLES, THE MIS’rs, THE ABPS, NOW CALLED THE ACFAS TO HIDE THE “p”, AND THE MULTI-SPECIALTY BOARDS FOR JUST A STUPID FOOT! And you think its a good idea to ADD another board??!!
