Why do you get when you cross larry with harry?
A silly shoe!
Looks like Marilyn Fentoon or a clone is offended, “Plastic Brace”. He gave you a negative vote. He and his controllers want to end Podiatry Post’s exposure of the Truth in the DIRTY PODIATRY trade. Can you believe such insecure podiatrists exist? And they treat patients? Maybe he doesn’t have a license because he doesn’t want to “support” podiatry”. One thing is certain. He can’t support his contentions so all he can do is attack the person. Classic “hit your mommy because she won’t let you have a toy”. Too immature of a thinker to be allowed to have a… Read more »
You tell them to financially starve podiatry yet you financially support it.
Not only are you stupid. YOU’RE WRONG!
You voluntarily pay them and voluntarily sit in their “education” meetings.
What do you get when you cross Barry with Fettuccini. Nothing.

“Creepy foot doctor”. He looks like one and acts like one. Picture Barry Block in that short video. Now there’s a creepy guy. He adores shoes. What’s with those New York City foot techs.? To the normal half of the foot field. Find a haven AWAY from the biomechquactic lies, shoes, socks and shekel half of podiatry here at the POD POST. There are some “grounded” pods to relate to. Think the MD’s PA’s and RN’s haven’t seen that video? Read the above letter for your answer.
I politely emailed Podiatry Management to publish or comment on this letter. I was told discussions were closed as of October…
Brain was closed the start of 1980
Wow. If I had the slightest inkling, as in possibly an act of magnanimity or beneficence in journalism of P leadership – it’s gone. The refusal to disseminate—what anyone would consider, if they’re considering at all—RELEVANT. As if this isn’t going to appear in the gossip comments at no-podo sites.
Ed. E., The desire for CONTROL extends to information. The truth is like a crucifix to Dracula for the lifer pod. They are SO ARROGANT they BLATANTLY BAN AND CENSOR THE TRUTH TO KEEP THEIR BUSINESS GOING. THEY ARE THE TRUE FACISTS. These are VERY BAD MEN. THEY ARE THE ROTTEN APPLES THAT HAVE KEPT THE MD’S AWAY FROM THEIR “BUSINESS”. They desire money and power, not knowledge and altruism. That’s why podiatry is a NON MEDICAL BUSINESS at the very heart of its DNA. Dirty men running a dirty profession. UNSUBSCRIBE TO BLOCK. DROP OUT OF THE APMA. AVOID… Read more »
A typical Barry Bloch answer.
Apparently Barry is awaiting the APMA response to the USMLE letter, before it becomes fodder on his BM news.
Barry Block is one of the DIRTY ONES. UNSUBSCRIBE AND GET RID OF THAT BLIGHT.
Brain closed
Nov 11th. and Barry Block, in collusion with the crooked controllers of the dirty podiatry profession, keeps the White paper hidden. Nearly a month and Block has suppressed the TRUTH about the big LIE. Any wonder why I say podiatry is a dirty profession. Guys like Block and the politicians use podiatry for their own selfish reasons and it’s not in their interest to expose the MAJOR NEWS THAT MD’S CONSIDER PODIATRISTS INFERIOR AND NOT ON PAR. IT’S BAD FOR THE FOOT BUSINESS AND ALL THE ANCILLARY BUSINESS THAT BURGEON FROM IT. Whether its’ Block’s blocking news or the lying… Read more »
Do not support them. Period. Do NOT attend their shit, do NOT pay them, leave them. Or like the 99.5%, they;ll stay. Suffering in silence and writing op eds
1000000000% correct Robert. Podiatry is very crooked and dirty like a smelly sock.
They have to work harder than an ugly hooker to keep up pretend doctor
Robert has been spot on for years, and this letter confirms his posts. His diligence has revealed a truth many of us have known for decades—
You’re boycott dues and they’re paid dinners , boom change!
The quacktitioners NEED podiatry and podiatry needs them. You got a bunch of B-/C students from 3rd tier universities and no name colleges. Mostly MD, DO, DMD, even… DC rejects. (there was one applicant “interviewing” who was REJECTED from chiro school). They need to save face. Shame from family, ‘friends’, etc… So they do podiatry school. Ooops, “medical” school, “surgeon” jibber jabber abt ankles, cankles, and feets. There the lies begin and lying to themselves becomes 2nd nature-like blinking. The lab coat, the stethoscopes, “anatomy” classes, etc…Then the 30,40 years of dues, boreds, and fees rolling in to be able… Read more »
Yup! You hot it “house”.
Podiatry education is “TOO NARROW”, SAY THE M.D.’S (I agree) “Across the board (regarding MD specialties) a general PROFICIENCY IN MEDICINE IS ACHIEVED. To take the USMLE the “job and situations must be the SAME.” “The DIFFERENCE is CRITICAL”. (ie the difference between a MEDICAL doctor and a FOOT dr.) is DIFFERENT. No “just like”. “Though most MD’s are BOARD CERITIFED THEIR MEDICAL LICENSE DOES NOT (that’s not) limit there practice”. (at all!) Physicians are “REQUIRED TO POSSES KNOWLEDGE OF ALL (that’s all) ASPECTS OF GENERAL MEDICINE. That’s the TRUE definition of a PHYSICIAN. There is NO such thing as… Read more »
When will shrimpster post this on the propaganda / happy talk site?
There will still be PM News regulars like Dr. Udell, that really believe “we are the specialists of the ankle and foot”.
Anyone that writes into PM News on a regular basis like Dr. Udell is a happy podiatrist in a coma.
But then again, Geoffrey DeSantis and Pat DeHear are also happy podiatrists. They do not know they are 2nd rate after an orthopedic surgeon.
More like 4th rate. They don’t know what they don’t know
Idiots Incorporated and so many other dumb fuckers still pay their abusers
The worst lies are the ones we tell ourselves–E/CP
Podiatrists assisting on SPINE SURGERIES!! I’d sue that quack too along with Barry Block the APMA and all the quack liars that BRAINWASH PODIATRISTS INTO THINKING THEY ARE OR ARE “JUST LIKE” PHYSICIANS. We hear that LIE ALL THE TIME. No wonder some soft headed technician thought he could do that. WHERE’S THE MD ASS WHIPPING LETTER BARRY? Instead you print ARCH SUPPORT ADDS and a Podo-quack saying he gave 200,000 injections of a homeopathic? product? Armstrong still plays like he is an actual licensed MD. He’s used that to make a career out of it. Let’s shout it out… Read more »
Well said, Robert. Organized podiatry would never have allowed me to interview you on “Meet the Masters”.
oh no, what? we are not physicians? Pretty soon the Podiatry colleges will need a course called ” English for Podiatry students” with all the international applicants ( which think they will be surgeon MDs). DPM land is dead ! DPM land is dead
When my boat crashed into a wall and I suffered foot and ankle trauma, GUESS WHAT ?
I went to an orthopedist that took and passed the USMLE.
Correctamundo! Or create more “boards” to sell “certifications” and “licenses” to be an ancillary health (wealth) helper, cough, middleman.
Boots
it was not a wall, it was a large bunch rocks that resembled toenail clippings
I wonder what Puncha puncha Patrick DeHeer is thinking. He owns a carbon fiber AFO company. Maybe he would like to shove a carbon fiber AFO up Mike Jodoin and Dave Johnson’s ass. Or just punch both of them in the face. I guess “Ortho 1” agrees with the decision to deny Pods to sit for the exam. Go back to TALAR Medical Puncha. Or you can go to NYC in January and sit with DeSantis in the TALAR Medical booth at the NY Clinical meeting. FOOLS !
Maybe shove a chicken sandwich up their asses and call it macaroni!
Yet they are still giving pep talks at the New Yawk shitty “school” to the next gen of imbeciles……..in “surgeon” of the foot and sometimes ankle. All the smiling lackies, simps, cucks, all in on the con. You are being duped by organized podupetry.
Oh, greedy Barry Block will run the USUAL, students HELP (LIKE IN HANDMAIDEN) IN NYC MARATHON and stupid students will tell their friends and family their ‘SPECIALIZING IN SPORTS MEDICINE”. Yeah, like you can really make a living doing that as a wtf.. Oh but I was an “athlete” in high school and a foot technician fixed my foot and that’s why I CHOSE podiatry. What % of wtf’s CHOSE podiatry first?. Most are medical school rejects.
Or the surgeon club–help rustle up some clueless young lackies to sign up for that club with promises of footy reCONstructing and selling shit to neurotic anglo saxon cat ladies
LOL !!! Now comes the big problem for the APMA, what carrot do you wave in front of the members now? “Project infinity”, where the Pod schools are going to change to Med schools? How to you cover your butts for this BS white paper move? Will California get another ten years to try to sit for some kind of exam, I hear the veterinary license exam is a possibility. LOL Just think of the income potential…. 4 paws instead of two feet !!! All these signs point to a profession that is failing fast.
Or that Kalifornica douche bag wearing that lapel pin. Doltman
Yeah, where are those BIG California guys like Richie and Kirby that are such podiatric lifer fanatics when MD’s won’t even let them sit for their test. Still just technicians. When you have a narrow view of medicine (podiatry) you think the MEDICAL world is foot surgery even though YOUR biggest surgery is routine, every day MD orthopedic work. The MD’s PA who assists on more surgeries than you’ll ever do could teach you a thing or two, and he can LEGALLY work on the whole body MISTER TECHNICIAN OF THE FOOT. Remember MD orthopods are FULL PHYSICIANS FIRST. In… Read more »
When will the shyster publish this letter in that comedic rag?
This is very disappointing. I found out USMLE does not stand for unethical scams making money on the lower extremity. Fuck the USMLE. I don’t need it. Make plenty money now with my hustling surgeries, orthotics, injections, “physical therapy”. Podiatrists are the carnival barkers of medicine. Shysters and hucksters. Salesman and quack practitioners. If you don’t believe it, go to a Podiatry Institute meeting. Or any APMA meeting. Or any AAPPM meeting. Or PM News. Or anything Presents has to sell. It’s all really the truth. The emperor has no cloths. So sayeth the real doctors. Another APMA embarrassment. That… Read more »
Am waiting for Shlock to post a silly shoe picture with the word: Failure in it!! that would be very funny and true!
See? it’s NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT THE MONEY! That’s the diff. Mercenary business thinking NYC type pods can’t get that through their head. REAL medicine is not a “nice little business Irving”. Lifer pods just DON’T GET IT. Real medicine is REAL SERIOUS. It’s not ELECTIVE MINOR MONEY MAKING. BIG INCOMES DON’T MAKE YOU “JUST LIKE”. Gee, I’ve never seen my cardiologist interviewed by a newspaper or magazine about winter clothing or clothes drives but somehow he is very “well off”. Maybe because he …..WORKS ON YOUR EFFEN HEART!? “Podiatrist talks about THE PERILS OF PLATFORM SHOES.”
When will PM News publish this news ? We’re waiting Barry.
It’s just plain NOT RIGHT, that the APMA has been holding back on disclosing this negative reply from NBME and the FSMB.
What would DiSantis be doing now if the letter was POSITIVE ? Would the letter then be posted in PM News ? You betcha !
The letter pretty much drove a stake through the bullshit of podiatrics. “Quality podiatric care…” What’s that? Further translation: Eh, go on jokers, run your little scam, we don’t want to deal with you clowns. Don’t take it personally, but the letter pretty much calls pods morons, and suggests they stay on their side of the strip mall. Again pod leadership has proven to dine on its young, crapping out the best of the worst to repeat the same old same old. The letter pretty much blasts podiatry as a substandard endeavor reserved for the best of the worst. As… Read more »
Podiatry was a lame excuse for a failed dream (CP/E).
The entire white paper thing was a joke from the beginning. I knew it would never ever happen, in a million years.
And stupid PODS spent weeks discussing the subject matter on Barry’s PM News. And jerk off, A-Hole Barry never said
“this subject is now closed”. A-Hole Barry. Also, where has Jeffrey DeSantis been since October 19th, when he received this letter ? He is another fraudulent sneaky APMA President. Too ashamed to let this negative news out to the APMA membership. Shame on DeSantis ! !
“negative”=Truthful
Only in A DPM’s mind do they think they are physicians, In reality a DPM is a limited license ancillary health care provider PERIOD. SO the “we are just like” argument goes no where, Case closed. A DPM is not a physician. Just watch how NPs and PAs take over foot care in the next few years, how reimbursement for surgery hits below Medicare levels, how there will be less applicants to Podiatry School and how the number of bankruptcies rises for graduates of Podiatry school. Face it, Podiatry residencies are not ACGME approved and are nothing but hospital preceptorships.… Read more »
Hey, you got shot down by the USMC kids, join the army or navy. Not everyone can be a Marine like your grandpa Morty. We really showed those Japs a thing or two.
Good one gramps.
And the Viet-Cong really showed you a thing or two.
“Legit”: That war was just like podiatry in the following ways. Political Fools confounded good men from excelling in the V.M. war. Politicians were wrong in not bombing the hell out of North Viet Nam and prevented the military from using its assets for cultural and politically correct reasons. Similarly, PODIATRIC POLITICANS KEEP PODIATRIST DOWN by limiting them to silly sock, shoes, and fake arch support theories. I’d say a third to a half of pods could get through a medical school curriculum. That is, those that didn’t go into it for the BUSINESS. The rest? Yeah, they’re where they… Read more »
what gives a foreign country (the USA) the endless right to invade another country and “bomb the hell out of” them?
Odd question Daniel. Answer: Insurgency, domination, control, and enslavement give them the right. Similarly and analogously in podiatry because all egotists have the same modus operandi. Just as writers in the POD Post stand up against the LYING CROOKED CONTROLLING STEALING JUGGERNAUT OF PODIATRY SO IT’S INCUMBANT ON GOOD MEN TO STOP THE BAD. GOOD MEN KNOW AND SENSE THIS. BAD ONES DON’T GET IT UNTIL THEY PUSH THE GOOD TOO FAR…THEN THEY GET IT. Good always triumphs over evil. Sometime it takes longer than we have to see it. SOMEDAY podiatry will be righteous but I’m afraid, with the… Read more »
Well, Legit, my respects on Veterans Day to those that fought with one hand tied behind their back because of BAD POLITICAL DECISIONS. Kinda like podiatry. We’re fighting against our own men. Dirty dishonorable podiatrists.
Ya know what just happened? The MD’s just said go f a flying donut MISTER. Your “just like” is a total bullshit LIE! The American Psychological Association used very polite terms saying the exam is ONLY FOR SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FIELDS and YOU WTF’S ARE NOT SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR. THIS IS A BIG BLOW TO THE FOOT TRADE LIE! This letter is a keeper. Every time the CROOKED LYING DIRTY FOOT POLITICIANS TALK ABOUT “WE’RE MAKING PROGRESS” PULL OUT THAT LETTER AND SAY “SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP” YOU LYING SACK OF SHIT. See, big rear foot fellowship skin trained NON MD’S?… Read more »
You’re right P.A’s are becoming more independent to practice and bill. Podiatrists well … project 2030,etc
And the minions still pay their APMA. Can anyone be any dumber…
Keeps the loan payments and tuitions fees rolling in ……empty promises and porkjects
So I guess Barry Block will be on the telephone with Dr. DeSantis, today, to inform the APMA President “the cat is out of the bag.” Go to work Barry. You have DeSantis phone # on speed dial you nerd.
They told the dp wtfs to go fuck themselves. They’re “training” is too narrow–code word–for watered down, LPN like training sorry, dp wtfs, enjoy that 6 fig debt and explaining to those with glazed eyes what a dp wtf is and does….keep paying those dues and fees and forms for a someday, maybe, potentially propaganda chirade
Maybe barry can put this letter in a shoe picture and all the girly “men” can giggle together and get stress relief….
