Originally I thought the Pandemic would lead to the closure of multiple Podiatry schools. However, the inverse might be happening. The dirty secret among graduate and professional schools is that when the economy is in recession the applications go up. People can no longer find entry level jobs with decent salary so they apply for further professional schools. It is clear right now that the economy may be headed to a two to three year recession coming on and this could lead to an increase in Podiatry School applications.


The caravan has moved on, yet the dogs still bark.
So you have a better solution?
no.
Thoughts for Greg: I need to dissect your proposal. First you quote the Washington Post a liberal anti Trump source. How about if I quote Fox, would you accept that? Also, Trump was extremely rich BEFORE he became president unlike Clinton, Obama etc who left office FLUSH WITH MILLIONS. Personally, I don’t care if a person is a oligarch, King, or a board certified non md foot carpenter. If he makes the stock market rise, builds up our military (Trump gave it a booster shot and even started the SPACE FORCE anticipating the future) and keeps OUR BOARDERS SECURE (BOARDER… Read more »
It is yet more corporate owned “news”–Washington COMpost and many others. most US “journalism” is infotainment and propaganda. And most idiot americans (98.7%) barely understand basic math, let alone S corporations and taxation. Most joe 6 packers are corporate slaves who just wanna eat, fart, and watch millionaires throw balls around.
Well Bob, guess you forced my hand when you accuse me of being prejudiced against America. Unlike you, I won’t get down in the mud with you emotionally. https://www.pgpf.org/chart-archive/0053_defense-comparison – :~:text=Defense%20spending%20accounts%20for%2015,of%20the%20annual%20federal%20budget. There’s waste and abuse at every level of government. And elsewhere in our society. Human nature I suppose. I figure that the amount of money required to sustain the economy during a shutdown is akin to a fly on an elephant’s ass as far as the military is concerned- barely noticeable. So that seems to be the common sense solution if you’re going to borrow (rob) from Peter to… Read more »
are you ill?
What”s gonna happen when more bail outs and govt “loans” etc.. and other gimmicks level out, hit the plateau? What then? More chanting, more drum beating off, more (bowel) movements? It was a show about nothing. Who can really make a case for a redundant half=assed “trade”–a “trade” that exists solely to help 3rd and 4th tier students pretend to be ‘doctors’ and p schools that exist to profiteer off of them, then the band aid box hospital– no other residents or trainees except pod followshit “hospitals” pretending to train–more like hang in the library, fetch coffee, and ass kiss… Read more »
Would suggest placing that do nothing/do little face diaper on those DP WTF asses. That way, it can capture certain ‘waste’ once their student loan bills come due…..
https://www.podiatrytoday.com/blogged/we-are-podiatrists-nothing-more-nothing-less Maybe Robert can stop hoping for that dog to start talking….. Comments: “I see that “educating” as more of a distraction, energy drain, and there are better, and more useful things to educate patients about. Do dentists need to “educate” their patients as often as a DPM? No. DDS and DMD are well branded. Change the degree already. So far it has been: DSC, DP, DPM … Time for a change and rebrand the profession to mark its progress. PMD would be a decent choice.” Ronny Brainwashed Nocando responds: “Sadly, we have not established a nationwide scope of practice,… Read more »
Seeing you mentioned me I want to understand if you MISUNDERSTOOD ME. When I refer to increasing education I DON’T MEAN TO THE PATIENTS. I MEAN INCREASE THE EDCATION OF THE WTF’S. They don’t even meet PA scope. The idea of definition and an unknown degree has been going on my “professional” lifetime, and that started in 1972 my first year in quack college. Nothing has or will change as long as the podiatric politicians, narcissists and lifers are in control yet afraid of increased responsibility. Evolution is easy. Getting the APMA, CPME, AND QUACK COLLEGE TO EMBACE IT IS… Read more »
got it. thanks Robert.
Robert gets it. Most don’t because they live (and HAVE to believe) the lie.
Nothing. more mouth flatulence and calls for dues and “action”. LOL
When pods feel they are neglected, oppressed, forced into working poverty but still doing podiatry with mouths to feed at home and no health care and they see an opportunity to take without being held personally responsible. They need to take back podiatry. They won’t. Because most have NO balls. Think Costanza, DMP
How about opening up a few schools (indoctrination centers). Why stop at just 1? It’s all about a next generation of lackeys and schmos. Who else will pay for Ghastworthless’ and Co pensions?
PA Scope act regarding Danny Boy’s questions in the propagandist’s funny FOR PROFIT “news”: Thought podiatrists were “physicians” and they went to “medical school” and did “residencies”. LOLOLOLOL. Reality below: “to provide opportunities to trained health care practitioners, not currently on the front lines of the pandemic response, with the opportunity to assist in response efforts if they so desire. The expansion of the scope of practice of Dentists, Oral Surgeons, Athletic Trainers, Chiropractors and Podiatrists would permit MDs and DOs to delegate certain practices to these practitioners to support the efforts to expand the response needed in hospitals, emergency… Read more »
The most valuable treasure we have is our health, our families, friends, patients and each other.
My personal opinion is that we all should wear masks, practice social distancing etc…
Danny Boy
Also that should include looking at barrysters silly shoe pictures to get that stress relief
Podiatrist, thank you for a kind, concerned, ethical post.
Gotta be Dan Chaskin. UnMASK YOURSELF. Don’t be so AFRAID OF PODIATRIC LIFER REPRISALS that you have to hide your name. Don’t you believe in your own opinions?!
It’s Danny the clown
My opinion is we should all sing songs about podiatry like: where o where was that dorsisection show it to me please dont be shy! where o where is that dorsiflexion, were you hidingggg on that frontal plane?
The more some podiatrists (social) distance themselves from a patient the safer the patient will be!
Lol good one.
You can have a total economic depression going on and the educated student will go for PA school ( 2 years) and make 150k for a 32 hour work week. No one will go to Podiatry school , there is no return on investment for a limited license and 200 k in loans. Proof that Podiatry is out of touch with reality…..opening up another Podiatry school in Texas. pure ignorance. Insurance companies making elective surgery harder to approve and they lower the reimbursement to doctors every year.
“Dr” Heartless? Or Saddenfeld?
A pandemic, “total economic depression,” and kids will apply. Don’t ask me why? Ya gotta sigh, and they’ll give it a try, till reality gives em a poke in the eye. Can’t touch the thigh. As Tom Jones would say: IT’s NOT UNUSUAL—’ya gotta cry’ (actually vomit). Isn’t the new application to P skool: “How long can you hold your breath underwater,” unspoken is “Because you’ll be underwater for decades. Sick folks, with foot pain often have lots of other problems, and can barely scrape up the loot to see a doc…Why would anyone see a pod with a multitude… Read more »
What dumbfuck would take on 300K+ student loan debts, MCAT tests, complex applications, 11 years of schooling/training, to make UP TO ~110K -170 gross as some dipshit 1099 IC (someone’s bitch) in a lifer pod office selling surgeries or clipping alta kaka toenails….and promises of a cut based on some overly complicated “formula”….house always wins dp wtfs…. when you can do PA or RN far less schooling, loan repayments, tons of employment opps in different fields, 4 days per week, overtime pay, transferable skills, less bureaucratic bullshit, and @85-140k gross per annum with much stronger job security.

Great summary toeligit! Please copy all applicants
Yes soaring applications! 2019 964 to 2020 1.006….
Just one D.O. school alone gets more than that. Dpwtf’s havae less applicants than a PA program and Barry Block, the 9 franchises, the APMA, and the CPME are continuing to ignore the elephant in the room…. poor education, all foot areas are covered by MD’s anyway, a degree with letters no one recognizes, and PA’s needed to give permission to dpms. Millions and millions are in the APMA banks and they are ‘FOOT DRAGGING’ from the obvious solution of making podiatry mainstream….drop shoes and shoe insert unproven theories. Transfer toenail trimming and callus scraping to assistants like the DDS’s… Read more »

SEVENTEEN MILLION DOLLARS. REPEAT: SEVENTEEN, MILLION DOLLARS.

Wow, not sure of that calculus. If you think the economy is in for a 2-3 year recession you must be figuring BIDEN IN OFFICE, or A CIVIL WAR and coup if Trump is elected. Personally, I believe if Trump is elected and not harassed ( not likely from the sore losers of 2016) the economy and market WILL BOOM! Government REGULATION, CONTROL, AND SANCTIONS are a Democratic characteristic, and I would think an independent thinker (what a real DOCTOR is) would find that a reason not to go into a risky foot field. I guess…we’ll see shortly. If anything… Read more »
Yep, the economy will boom. And the earth will be trashed. And you’ll get the oligarch you always wanted. For someone who is so anti-pod b/c it’s driven by money I fail to see what you find beneficial from that.
There are only 2 parties in the US, and they are both right wings. Coke or Pepsi. Keep “voting”–if it mattered, they would outlaw it. Fake ” democracy” rotten to the core like podiatry. No real difference between the two “parties”–clowns all. Sham “news” and sham “govt”. For and by the corporations and 1%. Like Gilbert Gottfried lookalike Ghastworthless or shrimp Shlock. Fuck it. We’re outta here what a shit hole. Trumpinio or Schmo? Make America go away
Greg: Assuming NO FRAUD (which is a serious question), the “oligarch”, as YOU’VE CHOSE TO LABEL TRUMP, will have won or lost LEGITAMELTLY. I suspect you would not label Biden an OLIGARCH even in light of BIDEN’s SCANDAL WITH CHINA. I’ll take a CAPITALIST businessman over a CORRUPT politician any day. If you’re worried about the earth ending ( you say trashed) talk to CHINA, INDIA, et. al.. I trust the earth will rotate happily mainly being influenced by ASTRONOMICAL events (the SUN), earthquake Tsunami events, Volcanic eruptions, and asteroid strikes more than mankind’s transportation methods or Bovine Methane expulsion.… Read more »
What about American Virus1918 on the world? The propagandists label it “Spanish” flu
Those weren’t “CONSTRUCTED VIRUSES” were they? There are enough “natural viral diseases” in nature, so MANIPULATING AND WEAPONIZING THEM CAN BE CONSTRUED AS AN ACT OF AGGRESSION AGAINST HUMANITY.
Why do you still live in NY? If it was so bad you would have left. You’te voting with your feet. You’re still there.
Dearest Bob, Legitimacy is in the eyes of the beholder.

Go Greg sorry ur taking crap
I replied, but it hasn’t shown up yet. The political persuasion of some posters is obvious but this is supposed to about Podiroquackery not politics, isn’t it?
ISN’T IT?
Seth has good pt. The 3rd and 4th tier MD and DDS rejects Will be itching to be “doctors” during the plandemic.
