Vote early, vote often. PM News is taking a poll regarding the CAQ (certificate of added quackery) in surgery being huckstered by Mr. Lee Rogers. Actually, PM News is the ideal population for such a survey. The ads are a literal display of shysters and con artists in our profession. Always has been. The readership asks basic questions such as how do I fix a toenail in a 3 year old.
The regulatory and academic foundational organizations in podiatry, such as they are, have resoundingly said NO ! But like a typical democrat, Mr. Rogers continues his assault on the credibility of our profession. He states in his latest propaganda that over 300 flunkies took the ABPM surgical quiz. These are probably collectors of paper only credentials such as ABLES and ABMSP or the many phony certifications from Florida.
To be quite frank, who gives a flying horse hockey what the PM News poll says ? Not only about the CAQ, but about anything.
The most profound insight on this matter was brought up by our Pod Post colleague Robert. Think about his question carefully. He asks how someone, even with the limited intellectual capabilities of some podiatrists, can:
1. Go to 4 years of foot school.
2. Do 3 year residency in foot stuff.
3. Not be able to pass ANY test about feet ?
How is that possible ?
Now we have another phony credential for the frontal lobe challenged orthotic sellers and corn and callus specialists in white coats.
This “profession” is now like an old dog. It’s had good years. Was fun. But it is now suffering, and needs to be put to sleep.
I vote that Barry Block throw in the towel.
It’s time already, Barry.
Take Hermine on vacation.
Take her to Mexico and wear your Hawaiian shirt and Garden Shoes.
Show off your breasts, by un-buttoning the top three buttons.
Self examine your breasts before you leave Manhattan.
Dr. Udell suggests this.
As he says, “breast cancer is not just a woman’s disease.”
In fact he looks like a woman with his white man’s afro.
Freaken F O O L S on parade ……………..
DPM + JD + Nebbish = A nerdy editor that needs to throw in the towel.
Any mature undergrad that sees Barry Block’s association with podiatry would frighten him away. (BOO!) Block has been HURTING PODIATRY BY CONNING EVERYONE THAT HE’S PRO PODIATRY. Shoe Pictures don’t make a profession, they make a JOKE OUT OF IT. What does Block care? HE DROPPED OUT DECADES AGO AND USES PODIATRY ONLY TO MAKE MONEY WITHOUT PRACTICING IT. TALK ABOUT A WHORE!
Podiatry is a wallet to that shyster propagandist
Who ? Barry ? Duh ……………..I would not have known.
Why did the silly shoe pictures cross the road?
Toe get stress relief!
Why did Idiot Usmell show off his breasts?
Because he’s a podiatrist.
Why did anything for a buck barry look so scared?
Because he’s a nebbish
Well said, my friend !
Ahh, Florida. That state is the mecca of conartists, hustlers, hucksters, and shysters. Sun, humidity, and murder. Cubananos, sombreros, white suits, and sun glasses with greasy bodies.
Also, many immigrants pass through that state as they’re entranced by the failed american dream propaganda. Just ask star struck Germans. Mr Chasskin, when are you moving there?
Are you fully aware of the copious amounts of corruption and fraud there? It’s a shit magnet for scum of the Earth-grifters trying get their slick groove on–kinda like New Yaawk shitty and shitting in the streets LALA land.
Gee, Legit, your description of Florida sounds awfully like New Yawk City. Any connection there?
We are the best at what we do. I say so. I know.
YOU MAY SAY SO BUT THE M.D.’S AND STATE LAWS SAY OTHERWISE. REALTIY BITES.
Florida, the dangling appendage, a drainage labyrinth oozing down down down into the depths of Date, Broward, and Palm Beach counties to nestle among human alligators, clogged vessels of highways, strip malls, slips and falls, and more rackets than all of tennis and badminton combined. If it happens–whatever it is–happens in Florida first and slices through it like some funky skin lesion oozing some unwholesome pus…and it’s contagious. Despite the once peaceful peninsula surrounded by tropical pleasures Florida’s become the hot spot to set up and deploy any airtight alibi or foolproof plan…It’s an avoidance state where BoPeep folk go… Read more »
Time to drain that swamp. « Advantage « is another word for rip off. FL is the C/D tier opportunist immigrant pass through state. Maybe they’re American dreaming of scams ?
Man Eddy, that verbal painting would make a best seller. I was sorry you stopped. I wanted to hear more!
