So Ross Taubman is retiring from PICA. He is a nice guy, but frankly he is and has always been, mentally limited in capability. Think about it. This is another example of a APMA president who somehow ends up with a job paying hundreds of thousands of dollars. He came from a corrugated steel office, and was never academically accomplished in any manner. Just another example of an APMA president somehow getting a cushy job. (See King, Krause, DeSantis, Frisch, etc.) Now they replace him with Cickeninthealley. This is the same guy that went to seminar after seminar telling us all to use absorbable fixation and reduce intermetatarsal angles without an osteotomy. This is the same guy that lectured at meeting after meeting telling us to use a Arthrex tight rope to correct bunions. So how did those procedures work out for you ? This is the guy that lectured on subtalar joint Arthroereisis for the correction of flat foot in adults. How did that work out for you? Another APMA-Institute kiss ass paragon peter principle.Well he can join Ms. Butterworth the Kamela Harris of Podiatry and the rest of the PICA podiatry advisers.
Now he is appointed a podiatry advisor for PICA ? Nothing political there I’m certain. Another Podiatry Institute, bullshit artist, rising to a position that they do not deserve. If you want to know why so many people refuse to join the APMA, and are generally disenchanted with podiatry, this is the reason why. Podiatry is an oligarchy. And an incapable one at that. Chickens will continue to run around for a bit after you cut off their head. That is about where podiatry is now. It is a chicken still moving, but the head has been removed. Look, there’s a chicken in the alley.
Narcissism, thy name is David Armstrong. At this point it’s almost exhibitionism. What a sick puppy. And Barry Block is his enabler.
Yeah those MD SURGICAL RESIDENT must have been yawing at his “TOE AND FLOW” TALK. I wish one of those MD residents at Grand Rounds would ask, Uh, Mister Armstrong do YOU HAVE A MEDICAL LICENSE FOR THAT M.D. YOU TOUT?
SNothing has changes essentially per jeff kaas in costa rica who retired 2015. guess all those somedays , letter writing, and positive yammer meant jack shit. Keep smiling, keep shining knowing that you’ve been DUPED. Work / life balance. Good luck amigas.
It’s fake like Barry’s dyed hair

Profiteering off of the sick and infirm.
narcopaths run the DPWTF circus
Sickos who profiteer off of ghettoe customers and dumb dp wtfs
A longtime friend of mine has given me the new copy of the APMA News. Interesting to say the least. It opens with the executive Director Dr. Christina begging for students to go to Podiatry school. There is also some dribble from the new president telling you to trust your organization because they are doing such a great job. Do you think there is any begging for students by allopathic schools, osteopathic, schools, dental schools, nursing schools, nurse practitioner, programs , physician assistant programs, or pharmacy schools or even chiropractic schools? Begging for students, that tells you all you need… Read more »
“Hallux Guy” provides excellent insight into the DIRTY UNDERBELLY OF THE DIRTY PART OF THIS PROFESSION. The undercurrent that was started by business-men-CHIROPODISTS IN 1900 NYCity. These mercantile personalities never left podiatry. They moved into political positions and incestuously kept the same mindsets running the foot school and foot field BUSINESS. And don’t kid yourself, it IS A BUSINESS. Whereas a REAL ACADEMIC PROFESSION pursues knowledge, a PSEUDO ACADEMIC ONE PURSUES PROFIT AND POWER. Hallux guy outlines the dirty money dealing that lead to the MULTI MILLION DOLLAR RESERVES THE APMA AND BOARDS HAVE. DIRTY MEN have lived off that… Read more »
100% Roberto.
We all need to starve these pos.
The continuing commentary in PM News regarding the current state of podiatry is sad and pathetic. It truly is. The same group of people write in with the same complaints. Year after year. They do not understand reality. Reality is that podiatry is not part of mainstream medicine. The fact is that anything a podiatrist does can be done by other healthcare and non-healthcare providers. The fact is that the APMA devotes its time to building personal wealth through Upperline Health, TALAR Medical, and getting various lecturing and consulting jobs for themselves. They do almost nothing to advance this profession… Read more »
A wonderful battle cry Hallux Guy but most of the “troops” are too insecure to fight or just not that bright. Con men thrive on insecurity and naivete. When I applied to foot school many years ago this corruption and collusion was WELL HIDDEN. Talk about naïve? I couldn’t imagine that a “medical profession” that allowed you to write a prescription or cut skin could exist while being so controlling, so mercenary, and so outstandingly braggadocios. In and of itself podiatry COULD be honorable but dirty men have a strangle hold on it. Which reminds me, is there any HONOR… Read more »
I guess the hugh/justin/chaskin gang is still trying to change reality.
Excellent pts.
Would add—-Take a long look ( if you can) at dancing verbilus—that’s your future and where’ your dues are going—to feed her
take over the meetings. Scream at them. Don’t let them keep status quo. Tell lehmann to F off. Tell puncha da face deheerrre to F off. Tell Bloch to do f off. Unsubscribe. Starve them. Stop paying then. Let them lecture to crickets.
Demand change. Scream, shout, demand and drive these feckless assholes out. Stop paying them.
The lifer baby is pouting. Maybe if I place a negative vote on EVERYTHING THEY’LL GO AWAY AND I CAN LIVE IN MY DREAM WORLD. SEE A DOCTOR!
YUP, THAT’S THE ONLY DIRECTION TO SAVE FURTHER MARGINALIZATION. DIRTY MEN MAKE A DIRTY PROFESSION.
Excellent commentary H.
May respectively add:
The problem is, most Dp wtfs, like Americans are stupid. Facts don’t affect them at all. It’s denials, deceptions, and delusions because they have an allergy to reality.
Look what the mental CHILDREN have to say… (minus) Nothing more, because they’re not doctoral material.
Ha! So they post a minus PROVING MY POINT! How stupid can you get?
If you lie to me I don’t respect you or want anything to do with you. PODIATRISTS LIE! It doesn’t seem to matter to BARRY BLOCK. He seems to print anything, and if there’s a rebuttal he doesn’t like, he bans and censors it so you never hear the other side of the story. Let’s see now, PODIATRIST SAVES A LIFE! Really? Let’s see if that makes sense. A patient falls into a coma for 3 days. I don’t think chopping off 5 toes brought him out of the coma, and I don’t think any podiatrist attended to his unconsciousness,… Read more »
There’s lotsa confusions amongst dpwtfs as to why this and why that.
It’s as if their lives were in a 5 gallon aquarium and that’s all they know.
How exactly did the dpwtf “save a life”?
Is that typical shyster shlock propaganda?
When you really have LITTLE TO OFFER ALL THAT’S LEFT TO YOU IS TO LIE! Podiatrists are so accustomed to lying, embellishing, and misleading, they no longer realize they’re doing it. Like a septicemia, it’s IN their blood. Right Mr. Block?
Same couple of guys using different names.
Naturlich, mein Herr, “F”. Typish propaganda.
With time and patience you can teach average men almost anything, but mentally damaged men? Impossible. I’ve been reading the SAME ERRORS OF THOUGHT IN THE APMA AND PODIATRY LEADERSHIP for the last 40+ years. The same. Podiatrists Prick ass zcz i cow starts off under the title of ‘INCREASING SCOPE’. What does he talk about under increased scope? How the APMA is getting MORE MONEY and “EQUITABLE REIMBURSEMENTS”! He, like KESSELMAN, promotes the ORTHOTIC (there’s those damm plastic shoe products again) and PROSTHETIC patient care act. The APMA IS “PUSHING” FOR PASSAGE. Don’t you stupid politicians see that is… Read more »
Robert, Later they will develop white coat hypertension secondary to podiatry experiences!!!Sad…,
It’s like accunpuncture / oriental med school. For 60k tuition per year, we sell you the dream. No promises. Just a dream
Anyone getting their credits for the MATE ACT…it’s 8 hours to renew DEA cert–It gets shittier and shittier. Pods weren’t included at first, then as ever was higher podiatric authorities INSIST they MUST keep up with the mainstream. Eight freaking hours, to renew DEA #–Largely for NPs and PAs to take on prescribing. Lots of MDs simply don’t bother with keeping DEA cert. But pods gotta do it–I think it follows most pod copying mainstream shit: 3 yr post-grad a k a residency, required courses etc etc –
More us bullshit—no thanks.
It’s mini me podiatry trying to be MDish
Absolutely agree with you Traum. And I make no RATIONAL excuse for keeping licenses and DEA current. That’s MY mental damage. Podiatry is not much, but once that’s lost there’s NOTHING LEFT in medicine. Not even a PA or RN program would recognize that useless dpm. So, once you’re in, you’re in FOR LIFE……. or you’re “otta there”! I never said I didn’t have any hang ups but I acknowledge them.
Eddy, believe it or not I took it! A boring waste of 8 hours but I like to keep current in case we EVER have a chance of becoming MD’s. I want to be ready!! After all, our HONORABLE APMA AND POLITICOS SAY “SOMEDAY”. Maybe that’ll be tomorrow?! ( MY insanity acknowledged!) The $60 bucks was WASTE enough but NOTHING COMPARED TO NYS $888 FEE TO RENEW! Someone’s got to pay for the “migrants”! At least, maybe, the New Yawk school will get an influx of typical podiatry patients for their clinic. Will LIFERS admit that if it wasn’t for… Read more »
Why?!?! Starve em Robert. F these bastards.
The money for the program is necessary for FEDERAL (not pod) license. You can starve pod but the FEDS? THEY OWN US. AND WE THOUGHT THIS WAS A FREE COUNTRY.
Man, you’re right. We’re owned. Some “freedom”….
They need to give more billions to coke head zelenskyyy
Mrs butteredworth wanted to be an optho.
Grades, undergrad tier and mcats not so good.
So now feet are their “love”….

Oligarchy? Yes. Not knowing they’re dead yet? Time will tell them. (see NP’s, P.A.’s etc. creeping up) Shallow, narcissistic men follow a failed paradigm because THEIR mind is incapable of handling more. Consequently, they drag you with them so as not to feel so isolated. Then they try to convince you with embellished rhetoric. (we’re the masters of the foot)
Insecure, damaged men should NEVER BE IN A LEADERSHIP POSITION! Unfortunately, podiatry is populated with them. That’s why podiatry remains a suspect, not part of the mainstream, profession.
It’s a kleptocracy and we are invited. No thanks
