Is this a thing? Because according to this tweet from a conference in England, a woman gave a lecture about skin tone bias in treating Podiatry patients.
There is this weird attempt by Podiatry to include Podiatry in everything. I have a hunch this is similar to that. Or maybe there really is skin tone bias in Podiatry. But shouldn’t you have concrete examples of it before you lecture about it?
Mealy mouth talking about colors of feet. Jeepers creepers, what a sad “life”. Can you imagine getting up in the morning and this is what’s on your mind? WASP
There’s definitely a money bias. Right Harry?
What have I been saying for the last 40 years? “Podiatric” Biomechanics is quack. After all the hype, all the seminars, all the arch support companies “literature” we see that the NY franchise is finding out that some of the BASIC THEORIES ARE WRONG! SOME??!! When it comes to ORTHOTIC BIOMECHQUACTICS I believe most is made up, unsubstantiated, and designed as a sales tool. I don’t argue real biomechanics. Like the Peroneus Longus helps stabilize the first ray or a hypermobile met can cause jamming, but those 2 degree post on a plastic insert with those inaccurate unreproducible measurements made… Read more »
Robert missed the boat. 500 tarsal tunnels. The 10 bunion per day Canadian podiatrist and celebrity shoe collector. All of the Weil surgeries (heel pain, bunions, plantar plate ruptures, all the kiddy orthotics, creams, lotions, biopsies of pimples and nerves, orthotics. It goes on and on. Look at the money the Lapiplasty king has made. It’s public record. Millions and millions. Check out the money Warren Joseph has made selling (I’m sorry, discussing) fungus toenails. If you were smart Robert, you would not be driving an old Porsche. You would own the dealership. Just ask the Rib-Eye-Otsky guy with the… Read more »
YEAH I missed the boat “Hallux Guy”. I should have gone to Bologna or Guadalahara or the University of Witwatersrand, or ST James or St Mathews in the Carib but wifey wanted the U.S., so I entered the event horizon of podiatry and got sucked into the singularity of JUST THE FOOT AND JUST A LIMITED LICENSE. Funny, I sensed something was wrong (too good to be true, second chance) but gee I could stay in the US and become “just like”. They write prescriptions (so do PA’s, optometrist and dentists). They’re called DOCTOR ( so are, well you know… Read more »
For you R, it was about being a doctor–in its’ purest form, the essence of learning, never stop learning, and authentically helping patients not salesmanship nor marketing or selling shit to get that luxury car.
And those dorky pink/pastel colored glasses. Simp alert. Soy boy
Facts that are “negative” and/or that produce or reproduce icky feelings or more importantly, hurt their wallets, are NOT welcome.
Dingle B., agree with you. Despite all the commentaries about P flaws, you can still do well financially. Follow the “new rules,” re charting and coding, they’re important to your fiduciary well-being: No more “rule out,” a dx is needed. Make one or it’ll get kicked back. Also NOS is kicked back, (specify). I learned this at a conference last month. Ins. companies are just not paying…anyone without documentation and specification in coding. I don’t know if your coding courses hip you to this, if so, eh, just thought I’d share some info for folks trying to earn some bank.
In podiatry, there was no true or false, no fact nor fiction. Like religious zealots, a dedicated capitalist, or dedicated communist…Podiatry just was.
” attempt by podiatry to include podiatry in everything”. Podiatry is like an unwelcome guest that sticks around too long and get his nose in others business because it has little to offer on its own. Now podiatry wants to get in on the race card taking into account skin color. But liberals say “we’re all human”. Podiatry always hops on someone else’s train and takes others glory for itself. Not a very wholesome profession. And, since when does podiatry need evidence for what it lectures about? Biomechquactics is a perfect example.
Skin tone is used in the initial encounter using the Fitz scale: Developed in 1970 something by Thomas B. Fitzpatrick, a Harvard dermatologist, to classify the typical response of different types of skin to ultraviolet light. For instance, you go from a type one (David Duke), to type ten (Wesley Snipes) sort of measure of how skin reacts to UV light. I may have used it records a long time ago like this: Cherry Cone is a pleasant 34 year old street ho Fitz type 1 complaining of abdominal pain at the right lower quadrant x one week increasing in… Read more »

A Marylin Fentoon type gave you a negative vote Eddy. Asities, Murmurs LRQ? None of that makes sense to a true Lifer who thinks the foot is a mechanical BAG OF BONES with varus’s, valguses, and un proven theories. Eddy, YOU PROVED right what a typical mediocre pod would do. Unna boot and inject. Local treatments. Local thinking because of Limited Education. Every time someone PROVES that PODIATRISTS DO NOT THINK LIKE MEDICAL DOCTORS ANOTHER DREAM AND DELUSION IS SHATTERED and lifers lose their mediocre minds. I’m glad you responded because only a MEDICAL DOCTOR LIKE YOU CAN PUT THE… Read more »
Podiatrists are physicians dumbell. Your are troll and are not a surgeon. Your podiatrists from the old days.
Rearfoot Surgeon All the Way!!!, your enthusiasm is contagious, so I’m gloved and masked responding to your twisted post. You can refer to yourself as a physician and surgeon, an astronaut, or whatever you want. But that thing that won’t go away even if you don’t believe in it: reality, is going to smack you square in the wallet, shatter your frail ego, and leave you the fool you’re pretending to be. As for insulting the folks who’ve come before you? That’ll get you far hustling procedures to geriatrics, a seat at the kiddy table, and kissing the ass of… Read more »
Your a joke. Were physicians. You guys are podiatrists from the 90s. Losers
The unwelcome house guest. The guest that doesn’t leave. That weird “friend”…we all know, it’s just like podiatry. They simply tolerate you, they don’t want you, nor really care about you. Maybe there for amusement / distraction.
Sounds like the shrimpster “editor” with propaganda and positivism bias agenda
what’s the tone of barry’s brown lips?
Very dark brown lips.
There’s a tinge of MONEY GREEN too. BAD AND GREEDY
Another Anglo-saxon Britshit PC whack job
Like US-ers they’re into genitalia, colors, banning things, and beating off. Not much creation, imagination. Simply theatre. Nothing substantive. A show about nothing and that’s why they;ll likely get their asses handed to them come 2024.
