Just a hint to the APMA and their annual National and state component society meetings. Oh, and PRESENTS. And BAKO also.
In the future, you need to make a few spelling corrections. Please change “unrestricted educational grant” to “unrestricted educational graft”. After all, that is what it is, isn’t it Mr. Christina, Mr. Lehrman, Mr. Joseph, Mr. Garafoulis, Mr. Moore, Mr. King, Mr. Ross, Mr. bASS, Mr. Krause, Mr. Shore and Ms. Vlahovik.
Next: APMA “Seal of Approval”should be APMA “Deal for Approval”. And make the names of the “Deal of Approval” Committee members public.
Autocorrection is not required. Total replacement of the corrupt APMA is.
Anyone want to go at it with me about podiatry not being very medical? Look at Big Richie from California. Refurbish his brace and GET PAID FOR IT HE ADVERTISES! He goes on to give you CODES ON HOW TO GET MONEY FROM MEDICARE IN 60 SECONDS! Now that’s business man. There’s even a video how to re strap and pad the brace in 60 seconds! Then there’s the desperate pods who, over and over, day after day, try to look like they have something to say. How to buy the best flip flops. Stretch and use ice after running… Read more »
I said “go at it with me”. That means, PROVE ME WRONG, not run away like a spineless podiatrist.
Too stupid to get it. Hit and run Hit and run. Spineless, dirty. An MD would have taken the challenge. A dirty foot technician hides and runs. I have no respect for your mind MISTER podiatrist.
Another delusional Dp wtf (redundant) wants to know why he can’t treat hyperuricemia. Why the state podiatry “board” can’t do blah blah blah…. Then there’s a silly shoe pic with eggs on the shoes…..
The academy continuing podiatry medical education has Elliot Udell lecturing in August -Management of gouty arthritis.
You too can be a podiatric internist. Pay money to your State Crooks and get a piece of paper. You’re on your own though when they sue you (rightfully) mister NON MD.
I knew from the very beginning that I was a podiatrist and not a physician. Back in podiatry school we were farmed out to various clinics basically to cut nails ( “externships “). If time permitted we could observe the medical doctors. Got worse in my residency. Part of my “surgical ” residency was being assigned to a hospital Operating Room to assist the podiatrists with their surgeries. That occupied only a minimal amount of my time. I became friendly with the Surgical Groups and started assisting them. Bear in mind, this was before PAs. I guess, I was good… Read more »
Most dupetrists “rode the bicycle” (held retractors), or stared at the backs of necks for that observationshit/ship. NOT a real (MD) residency in any shape, way, or form. A bad joke, yet the DP WTF “attendings” were clueless and thought they were Debakey. WTF. Once in a blue moon the DP WTF “attending” bought a cheapy lunch or compted -expensed supper at some shithouse chain. Also, many were slovenly dressed, bad teeth, horribly aging, fat, poor diet, etc.etc.. Perhaps, the lies and bullshitting was catching up to these clowns
Nice but sad summary..
There’s definitely some mental defect in podiatrists that make them DANGEROUS TO THE PUBLIC. NO, this is not hate, this is the truth. I can PROVE IT. Read what stupid podiatrists thinks. He doesn’t know why we can’t treat gout and he wants the State foot tech society to TEACH FOOT TECHNICIANS HOW TO TREAT IT! Uh, WHAT about your quack college? What about medicine courses and REAL ROTATIONS LIKE REAL MEDICAL STUDENTS DO?S To show HOW POORLY PODIATRISTS were educated, he proves he doesn’t understand that all the physiology and complications can’t be taught in a couple of days… Read more »
I think the seal of approval is important. It helps the public know they are getting tested and approved products to help the patients. Because helping people is important. We need to continue to help people everyday.
The “SEAL of Approval” is a PAID FOR SCHEME FOR THE FOOT CONTROLLERS OF THE TRADE. It means nothing because podiatry is so empty in real research but so rich in angles to make a dollar. That dirty NYC money mentality permeates the soul of podiatry and podiatry can’t extract itself from the business of making money by SELLING the “concept that podiatry is an actual medical profession”. Dan you’re so naive and gullible.
I appreciate your opinion Robert. It’s great that we can all have opinions. I think the seal of approval is important to help provide patients the best quality products and services. Because that’s what life is about, helping people. I try hard everyday to help people and learn from others. I don’t know any podiatrist that sells things, it’s about helping people and dealing with these very stressful times. My opinions only.
You don’t know any podiatrist that sells things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???? I don’t know any that DON’T! YOU claim you ‘try’ to learn from others. Then why haven’t you learned, after all these decades, that you have been, and are, being taken. Check your check book. Either you’re pulling our leg or you are not too bright.
Oh I bet you’re a salesman…. big time (unnecessary procedures, arch supports, and shoes)
Does anyone believe that 5 HONEST TRUTHFUL PODIATRISTS (oxymoron) believe and support, of all people, Barry Block’s best stress reliever Dan Chaskin?! I don’t for a second. Block must be worried that his BUSINESS is under COMPETITION after decades of banning and censoring the truth so he’s delighted to see The Podiatry Post get contaminated with delusional lying lifers.
We need to respect each other and it is great that everyone can have opinions to support what they want. It is important we all work together to help each other because life is very short. We are brothers and need to help everyone get through these very difficult times. I am happy to support Barry and consider him my friend. These are my opinions only.
Daniel, All due respect why can’t you practice in state near you. Your opinion please…
Why should I move to another state? I live where I live. Why should I incur all the expenses for moving? I think we need to help each other stay in our states because that’s why life is about. Helping people. These are just my opinions only. I appreciate all the leaders and associations. Thank you
Make up your mind DAN Chaskin! You’re contradicting YOURSELF! You’ve been writing in to the Shoe Pervert, Barry Block, for years crying that YOU CAN’T MOVE BECAUSE THE STATE YOU WANT TO MOVE TO REQUIRES A RESIDENCY WHICH YOU DID NOT QUALIFY FOR. You can’t even keep your story straight. I wouldn’t trust you with any more responsibility than the minimal of the minimally medical things podiatrists are allowed to do. You’re thinking scares me.
I don’t want to scare you friend Robert. We’re brothers. Let’s help each during these very difficult times. Life is short and by helping each other, we can better help our patients.
We’ve been trying to help you Dan. We’ve repeatedly pointed out why NO ONE SHOULD SUPPORT THE APMA BARRY BLOCK’S PM NEWS OR THE QUACK COLLEGES. Your R.O.I. for all those years is negative. We’ve warned you. We’ve explained things to you, we’ve pointed out your inconsistencies and delusions of being a dermatologist. Alas, YOU STILL DON’T GET IT. YOU REPEAT THE SAME THINGS YOU HAVE FOR YEARS EXPECTING A CHANGE BY FINACIALLY SUPPORTING THE APMA DESPITE THEM IGNORING YOUR PLIGHT. You do scare me because I fear being in a trade with people as shallow thinking as you lifers.
I am sorry for scaring you Brother Robert. It is so important during these very difficult times to help each other. We all need help sometimes and need to learn from others. The Journal of Dermatoscopy can help people learn, and that’s what life’s about, helping people by learning. I consider Barry my friend and learn a lot from him and other podiatry leaders. I think we all can learn from each other and do what’s right for our patients in this short life. These are my opinions only.
“Total replacement of the CORRUPT APMA”. I COULDN’T AGREE MORE. And insecure podiatrists actually pay the APMA to lie to them. “We’re working hard”. 40+ years I’ve heard that and all you get is the GOOD FEET STORE, still need permission to cut toenails, can’t treat even gout, forbidden by the A.M.A. to sit for a real DOCTORS exam AND what the “f” does dpm mean???!!!!! Thanks APMA. Maybe in another 40 years we can cut and grind toenails on our own. Hey? Do nail salon girls need permission to trim?
APMA=FUGAZI=FAKE. It’s essentially a private club that somehow finds insecure dopes to give them money. The return on investment is zero. Common sense (apparently very limited amongst DPMs) would indicate that the only accomplishment APMA has to show over the last 40 years is meeting payroll. Perhaps the BOT could prove me wrong and list what they have accomplished. Robert, not to be combative, but DPMs can clip toenails w/o permission, it just isn’t reimbursable. They would have to collect actual currency, which most customers are unwilling to do. Podiatry is a lost ship at sea. Fire the flares. SOS!
Yeah Justin, I know that TECHNICALITY, but my point is that PODIATRISTS AREN’T TRUSTED EVEN by GOVERNMENT INSURANCE COMPANIES TO CUT TOENAILS WITHOUT PERMISSION BECAUSE THEY HAVE A LONG HISTORY OF FRAUD AND SO, FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES, THEY NEED PERMISSION. When you consider that so few toenail trimmings done by foot technicians are paid for by the customer themselves, SELF PAY becomes an INSIGNIFICANT NUMBER. If a pt. (customer) had to pay themselves, they’d rather go to a cute talkative Oriental girl who will paint her nails and cut her fingernails. Something a foot tech is forbidden by… Read more »
