PM News. The Entertainment Never Stops.
Steven Kravitz offers his opinion on toenails in podiatry. When is the last time he was in practice ? You cannot afford to maintain an office cutting toenails Dr. Kravitz. Then Dr. Roth offers mystical insight into his secret cure for loose toenails. Nominate the man for chief pedicurist I say. I’m sorry, chief concierge pedicurist. He works for cash only he says. I wonder if he gets tips ? Then Dr. Chaskin sticks his chiropody nose into the bleeding risk stratification used by real doctors. After all, if you are timing calluses and nails nicking the skin of a patient on anticoagulants this can be time consuming. The wailing continues from the pain suffered by Dr. Udell over the reality that non-chiropodists do routine foot care. How much money do pedicurists get for nails ? My girlfriend and mother pay a great deal more than Medicare does without paperwork, lies, and audit worries. Pedicurist or concierge podiatrist. What exactly is the difference, Dr. Roth ?
1. Most podiatrists do not speak Vietnamese.
2. Pedicurists are paid more for cutting toenails.
3. Pedicurists do not require 7 years and several hundred thousand dollars debt to cut toenails.
4. It’s hard to get an appointment with a pedicurist.
5. Podiatrists do not paint toenails.
6. Pedicurists do not sell ineffective topical antifungals.
7. Pedicurists do not write into PM News worried about nurses, PA’s, or podiatrists cutting toenails.
8. Pedicurists know their limits.
9. There are some cute pedicurists.
10. Pedicurist may be killers. Just read “Death by Pedicure”. Must be true. It was written by a podiatrist.

Ha! It says he’s CERTIFIED in REAR AND FORE FOOT BIOMECHANICS! BIOMECHANICS are now being divided. He’s a CHIROPODIST-PODIATRIST. THE POINT: NO PODIATRISTS IN NO COUNTRY IS A DOCTOR.
Note he says he does minor nail surgery. Naturally he has “scrubs” on, just like his lying US Lifer brothers. Thanks leadership. Dirty lying profession.
Guess who’s giving you the middle finger and Not doing podiatry. Thanks for the subscribers /marketing revenue -suckers!

Block’s got the students making him money. Now that’s a NYC podiatrist. I call that dirty.
Offers student subscriptions to the mismanagement propaganda blast to boost ad revenues.
That’s a scumbag. That’s shlock
Block or a sycophant is upset. They’re not accustomed to be CONFRONTED….WITH THE TRUTH.
That’s how long podiatry has been under the thumb of a few misguided men.
A few? More like 98.7% is rotten. Most of entire members are to blame. They’re compliant and complicit. Most gleefully Want what podiatry is offering. The top down thing has been disproven for a long time.
Clarification:
Members= any dpwtf
It’s a ‘rape’ versus ‘consensual sex’ analogy.
Are the LIFERS getting Kick Backs from Block? Why else would they defend that NY drop out? He’s BAD for Podiatry.
Dirty, sneaky, rigged, podiatry. I don’t believe it for a second. I don’t believe the lying APMA. NOOO! There’s no collusion. There’s no influence with the CPME. You have a CULT OF SIMILAR LIFERS IN BOTH ORGANIZATIONS, THEY’RE BOTH IN THE SAME BUILDING, SHARING THE SAME FACILITIES AND SECRETARIES, THEY SEE EACH OTHER EVERY DAY, BUT NOOOOO, THERE’S NO INFLUENCE. Are you that naïve to believe that MISTER?! The dirty APMA cites the “on paper” VERBIAGE that the CPME IS INDEDPENDENT. Well, what effen power does a word on a piece of paper have on the ACTUAL ACTIVITES AND INTERACTION… Read more »

However they lie to themselves to stay alive
So Flatus all that’s left is 1. accept your minimally medical Chiropodal ancestory and don’t boast. 2. Lie and deny reality living in a delusion. 3. Change the effen curriculum and philosophy like the D.O.’s did and make your DELUSION a REALITY.

Daniel—any comments regarding Roberts apt statements regarding collusion and COI? You are a member of that vile association? Correct? Yup
Too busy polishing those bars on the windows and door.
I applied for a new life insurance policy. For occupation I put down “physician”. The underwriters sent my agent a note saying , I have to change my Occupation to “podiatrist”. So much for parity > LOL ( maybe I should put down Lower extremity foot and ankle reconstructive surgeon) while a fungal nail I Just cut sticks in my forehead.
Write that reality into Barry’s propaganda management rag.
Block would censor that faster than a checker suit wearing podiatrist will solicit a nursing home administrator.
Perfect truth “reality”. Like a Perfect phone call. MORE proof that podiatrists are NOT physicians to the real world.
I have wonderful story of podiatry. A patient I just saw for first time said previous podiatrist charged her on her bill, among other things, 5 cents for 1bandaid given!
Now every potential podiatry student should hear that to know what a dirty profession is really like! I’ll bet someone is looking up the CPT FOR BANDAIDS. DIRTY.

Barry Block is DUMB. BARRY BLOCK IS WRONG. BARRY BLOCK REPRESENTS THE BEHIND THE SCENES CONTROLLING CLASS THAT KEEPS PODIATRY DOWN. No you drop out podiatrist lawyer Block, podiatry has NOT SUBSTANTIALLY GROWN. What cult told you to say that. Is that part of the propaganda to fill seats? As you should know, 90% of the podiatrists in you own state still can’t touch the ankle, still can’t do a TAL, still can’t treat a wart on the ankle, let alone operate. Only a very very select few who have a SPECIAL CERTIFICATE CAN. You call that progress? Bribes and… Read more »

Podiatry attracts lots of scumbags. Why?
We know the answer.
A drity mercenary profession attracts dirty mercenaries. Money and sales has CORRUPTED PODIATRY. BARRY BLOCK MAKES MONEY OFF ADVERTISERS WHO WANT PODIATRISTS TO BE THEIR SALESMEN. PM news, sales, and coding tricks are the UN-academic side that makes podiatry a non mainstream suspect trade.
If you want the TRUTH, look for where a dirty Lifer votes negative so he can keep the PODIATRY CON HIDDEN. That’s how sick this dirty profession is. It’s full of MENTAL CHILDREN WHO HAVE NEVER MATURED EMOTIONALLY. Look for some FAMILIAL OR CULTURAL PATHOLOGY. PODIATRY IS RUN BY THAT TYPE. If only we had the advantages of computers back then I wouldn’t have been caught up in this clever con. Those reading this have the advantage of being warned.

Don’t you agree that BARRY BLOCK AND PM NEWS ARE BAD FOR PODIATRY and that people should UNSUBSCRIBE AND ASK FOR THIER E MAIL ADDRESS BACK?

Pedicurists do not wear a stethoscope and scrubs to cut nails. They know who they are and what they do. They do not have to purchase expensive EMR , have malpractice insurance and fight with the insurance carriers. They do not have to tell me that my long thick nails will cause a gait imbalance and I will need surgery with an ex- fix. HMMM now that i just read all that, why did I spend 300K on Podiatry school?

You know, where people loved to give you money so you didn’t have to deal with insurance companies. Well, if you read between the lines you might be asking, why, if concierge is so successful, does the Korn field need to advertise?! Why talk about CAVUS FEET? Common condition but not that common.

Oh, flew first class with spouse- wolfed expensed meals, deluxe hotel rooms/suites, all paid for by dues and got paid more than $550,000 per year for ?!?!?

Yes, PODIATRY IS GETTING WORSE BECAUSE IT’S NOT GETTING BETTER. Continued internecine squabbles between boards and egos distract from the REAL PROBLEM: the nearly useless, minimal, limited license and the light speed approach of the PA’s and NP’s. with their broad shiny FULL LICENSES.

Are you f-ing kidding me?
$75-100K gross is a bad joke. 11 years of training.schoolings to make less than a junior high school teacher?
Danielle Chaskin–any comments–because think you are waking up to the realities of podlietry. How can ANYONE recommend podlietry if one can go to NP or PA school and practice full scope, get full benies, in major demand, etc..etc..etc..What would Barry Block think? Does he think?
Thank you.
Barry Block thinks, “can I print it and take up space to sell”? Will the secret “cult” call me and tell me I’m doing something wrong? See, Barry bows to the cult. When you have a thin slice of “friends” you obey or be alone.
It is a lot of money if one is a podiatrist. This is my opinion. However teachers make more and have benefits. Again I believe NP is a much better degree and accomplishment (regarding anatomic scope of practice) than a DPM because its an unlimited license.
UPS drivers makes @75-100k too with a high school diploma mr chaskin.
Enjoy offloading….and excavating nonsense
So why would you support and belong to such a bureaucracy as the APMA which KEEPS YOU < NP or PA?
If you’re illegal, that’s a lot of $. If you’re a big box check out male/girl that’s a lot of $. If you’re from a third world, that’s big bucks?
Is that the argument? Podiatry is mainly a scam.
So, MR. CHASKIN is saying the DPM IS NOT AS GOOD AS A NURSING DOCTORATE. Why wouldn’t EVERYONE in podiatry rise up AGAINST the APMA, CPME, and QUACK COLLEGES about that inferiority? Why support those that keep you DOWN?
It’s evident to me that the podiatry “controllers” would rather KEEP THEIR POWER AND INCOME THAN DO WHAT’S BEST FOR PODIATRY. THAT’S A DIRTY GROUP OF MEN/WOMEN.
Larry—-Is this 1 or 2 days a week for that pay?
Krapshitz needs to keep quiet. Used to sell the dream at the filthadelphia school. Shoes, orthotics, and Varus-valgus bull sht.
The only that matters is nothing
Hey Kendrick ! Welcome to PodPost.
Anyone need an podiatric orthopedist who doesn’t operate? We got orthotics, talo varus valgus devices, braces, and pads to sell. Some are going like hots cakes. The inner city types love this stuff.
Thanks for your considerations.
Orthopedics in podiatry means DME SALES, especially those over blown, over exaggerated magic plastic shoe inserts. ORTHOTIC biomechanics = sales pitch. ORTHOTIC biomechanics /= real anatomical biomechanics.
Kendrick—are you still at the PA foot school’s foot and ankle institute at 8th and race near China town?
Great teacher and person. Let’s grab some dim sum some time
Yes, I am still here. I teach my students how to make plastic drek to put inside shoes. We have added a post graduate class in grinding. McGuire teaches offloading. Mattiacci does recruiting.
Doctors. of SHOEMAKING
Adjusting shoes is part of what I do in order to alleviate pain sub painful areas of feet. An excavation in the shoe below a painful area is sometimes helpful. Who cares if it is not covered by insurance. So long as the patient feels better this is what matters in life. Helping others. Then again a NP degree can also adjust shoes, besides having a much larger anatomic scope of practice than a DPM degree. Why become a DPM if one can get that NP degree? Why even go for an MD or DO degree and worry about getting… Read more »
SHOEMAKERS ADJUST SHOES TOO MISTER. For many, the NP didn’t exist before they got they’re wtf degree. Also, you NEED TO BE AN R.N. NURSE FIRST…BEFORE YOU CAN BE AN N.P.. Nearly any type of major can get you into foot school.
I’m not so sure about the “worry” MD’s have about matching. Sure, everyone wants what they want but ALL MD’S have the basics of what they want. No matter what the specialty, they are all REAL DOCTORS first and primarily.
Is the customer paying for the cobbler (“excavations” , shoe adjustments, and paddings) services at “doctor” rates?
sHHH! Next we’ll have a “cobbler BOARD”. Oh yeah, that’s the ABPM.
Great news Kendrick, glad to see nothings changed.
Macguire is great at smiling and bullshittin while you taught advanced grindology. Let’s get Keiran and do some dim sum
I will set up a lunch date with Mahan, Vlahovic and Pontious for one day next week in Chinatown.
Will telephone you by the end of this week. Looking forward to it.
Too bad diprimio can’t join us. Loved the way he’d point to his wallet and say—this is what’s it about to the students. Looking forward to some great Chinese food and chatting with you guys. Thanks Kendrick, you were my hero in grindology
And Pontious still teaches surgery and Vlahavic teaches derm. We will have Chinese together.
Yes please. Let’s get some Chinese nearby and talk over duck and Jane. Maybe invite vlakovic, but she’ll likely eat out the entire
resto.
Wishing you the best Kendrick.

What if podiatric residency programs begin to shut down because of decreased enrollment into podiatric medical schools and then a bunch of podiatric students might have another podiatric residency shortage in the future? What about replacing podiatric medical colleges and… Read more »
Once again mr chasskins, podiatrists do not attend medical school nor do they attend residencies. That’s for MD/DO only per the AMA, ACGME and ABMS.

Good musak good times. See the cows.
Uh, I think you should be asking the APMA, THE NYSPMA, BARRY BLOCK, AND EVERY LIFER WHO SAYS “PODIATRY IS A GREAT PROFESSION”.
He stills pays these assholes and wonders why why why.
Miroir mirror Danny
98.8% of dp wtf grads couldn’t spell MCAT let alone EARN acceptance into real medical school. Your mights and maybes are delusional and emblematic of toxic positivity.
Like a delusional house seller thinking they can get some crazy price that isn’t grounded in market reality.
30-50 years from now podiatry will still be promising the someday. Anything for a buck. Keep the associations and clubs afloat. And think about it, there will be Chasskins 3.0 still thinking they’re making a difference. Sad fckrs.
Wait a second, perhaps 50 years from now there will be mainly NP’s.
I think the PA’s are going to be challenging the NP’s. They outnumber NP’s and have more financial and political power. Already NP’s are the “accepted” alternative to the MD. As a matter of fact I’m going to see one in a few hours. I don’t even think about NP’s, there are so few of them. PA’s are everywhere and in every specialty. In the past a NURSING DEGREE and experience was considered advantageous but the PA’s ARE DOING MD type training and GIVING NURSES ORDERS. Podiatrists? They’ll remain a “what are they?, why do they exist”?, suspect, non mainstream,… Read more »

Both of these slobs by their slacks and jackets at the local Thrift Shop.
And the seamstress at the Thrift Shop does their alterations.
If you saw either of them at an orthopedic meeting you would think they were the custodians.
Would recommend those early into podiatry who can, immediately vacate. It’s not going to get better. It s all over folks.
I disagree. There will be space for some podiatrists to return to being the “handmaidens” of the MD orthopedic surgeons. Someone needs to scrape the skin and remove the casts. Those minor manual jobs are not for actual DOCTORS TO DO. If podiatrists want to call themselves dr, (or Napoleon) fine. As long as they show up to work on time and make it easy for the M.D. to do the thinking.
Not for 350,000 in student loans Robert. It’s a terrible job choice

Seth, one does not have to be an MD or NP to understand that if a vascular surgeon recommends an angiogram for a blockage in a patient with and ulceration yet with a high bleeding risk, another vascular surgeon or physician may have a different opinion. Perhaps the first vascular doctor did not fully explain the bleeding risk to a patient before a patient chooses to get that angiogram.
Risks benefits and alternatives must be explained before deciding to give informed consent for invasive procedures.
Chaskin, if you could only knew how you sound to us. You would be embarrassed and never leave that jail you call an office.
It’s a metaphor of his “life”. Bars over the Bronx cheer window and door. Signifying something…
Blocked mind. Imprisoned life.
If one holds his pecker in his hands they talk for hours about dick.
Hey opinions #whatever no matter what you post here realize the readers are wise, experienced, and have seen or experienced the bullshit you portray as sunshine and butterflies – Recognize the fact your comments are not even in the same ballpark. Read back what you write to yourself – You aren’t influencing people.
The bleeding risk stratification can easily be tx by podiatrist. They include age greater 80, oral anticoagulants,chf , ckd , anemia , limb ischemia and dementia. Yeah right….
I must have missed those classes on how to treat those conditions at my quack college.
Robert, I never learned about bleeding risk stratification in podiatry. I was taught about this by a vascular specialist and the literature. My point is that whenever a specialist decides on treatment, that specialist be it a DPM, MD or DO, could ask to have their suggestions for treatment concurred by the patients primary doctor or another specialist in the field to get a second opinion. Just because someone is a so called specialist might not necessarily make a decision to perform a procedure the best choice for a patient who has complicated medical conditions. Specialists should consider medical problems… Read more »
You’re serious, right? First of all a podiatrist is NOT an actual specialist. A podiatrist is NOT PART OF MAINSTREAM MEDICINE. They’re not even recognized as a category in blogs. At best you fall under “OTHER”. So enough of the brainwashed, misleading euphemism of “specialist” when referring to podiatry. Of course anyone can ask anyone for another opinion. Ask me about my opinion on you. HOWEVER, when sending to a specialist you’re ALREADY ASKING FOR ANOTHER OPINION. The specialist is essentially the TERMINAL OPINIONATOR. SEE? Podiatrists are SO ACCUSTOMED TO NEEDING NOTES AND PERMISSION FROM WIDER SCOPE PROVIDERS THAT THEY… Read more »
Chasskin is serious. And that is a serious problem.
K.P. ?!
Kitchen Podiatry? That opinion nut – wouldn’t trust him flushing a toilet. Magical toes regrowing?!?! Whack job
You HAVEN’T changed reality have you? Just WASTED EMOTIONAL TIME.
DON’T GO INTO PODIATRY!! DON’T! It’s still the SAME SCREWED UP TRADE IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN AND IT’S NOT GETTING BETTER!! Foot technicians like KRAVITZ only worry about LOSING MONEY! KRAVITZ feels its IMPERATIVE TO CUT TOENAILS INORDER TO BE A “PRACTICE BUILDER”! KRAVITZ admits that the belief that sports medicine or surgical practice successes are a lie and that pods are NOT (that’s NOT) successful without doing TOENAILS. KRAVITZ SAYS “EMBRACE REALITY” (I guess that mean accept you’re a toenail cutting non MD) Thanks APMA. Thanks biomechquacticians. Thanks Barry Block. KRAVITZ FOLLOWS THE BARRY BLOCK LIE THAT NOT CUTTING… Read more »
Robert please reread what I posted. You misinterpreted what I posted. I was already taught by a vascular surgeon about bleeding risk indications. A second vascular specialist may not necessarily agree with a primary vascular specialist regarding deciding if a patient should or should not have an endovascular procedure.
The likelihood that one MD vascular surgeon disagrees with another is minimal. They all have standards and morals they follow. Unlike the fake medical field of podiatry where procedures are done based on money, MD’s do procedures to save limbs. REAL LIMB SALVAGE. I know you can’t comprehend that their are people who do things because it’s the right thing to do, but there are. Podiatrists do things because there is so little else to do in podiatry with that limited license. Limits and money energize podiatrists to do procedures. MD’s do well because they’re MD’s. They don’t need to… Read more »
Chaskin votes negative because he has not sensible rebuttal. Now that’s a podiatrist
Robert, if an MD goes to Caribbean school and does not get matched they may consider entering podiatric medical school. An NP degree I feel would be a better choice for an MD from a foreign country who did not get a match with a medical residency.
Agree. But…..
So what? Nothing changes.
I feel that hung Los general gaos is better than China Changs general tso.
So what? Feelings mean shit.
Nothing changes. It’s all over brother.
Just enjoy the popcorn and fries and looking at “stress relief” shoe pics.
An MD from a foreign is much better off than a dpm. That MD (even if not immediately licensed) opens many opportunities. Many states allow a period of time for non licensed FMG’S to get up to speed. Besides, FMG’s are not limited only to the US for training. Many other countries will welcome them. Once they have training, if they wish, they can apply to the US. The US is NOT the only place in the world. The question is, did you become an MD to become a DOCTOR or to MAKE MONEY? See, Mr. podiatrist. You are so… Read more »
Chaskin’s not happy when he’s proven wrong over and over and over again
Some Caribbean schools are iffy. Mexico is different in that a requirement for the titulo was one year of social service and licensed in Mexico (Medico-Cirujano)-same in other Latin American and European countries (in the past) back to the US for another year of supervised clinical training. And the tests – It wasn’t a stretch to get your PGY-1 at the facility you did the Fifth Pathway at. I don’t know if the system works that way now. But there are currently a few Caribbean schools that graduate plenty of docs who go on to practice without a hitch. If… Read more »
Several states have started an Associate Physician program, If you are a foreign med school grad and did not get a residency but passed usmle 1,2 and 3 you can practice full scope while under another physicians license. Also in 2013 the department of Education put in place a process where Foreign Medical school like the Caribbean and Mexico can get certified as legit and allow the students to enter residency match. They gave the schools ten years to match the USA med schools curriculum. Many have been accredited. I know all this first hand because my brother went that… Read more »
Factual, you’re informed. Congratulations for your brother – you would have gotten in at some point, (I recall your comments a few threads back) and none of this would matter. Back then then things were different – isn’t change inevitable (with the exception of podiatry?). Retrospectively it was a blast…maybe it was being at that age where naiveté and adventure is peaking. Words: make the best of what you’ve got going, what other people say or do is irrelevant – and have some fun. What you do doesn’t define you “ain’t nottin but a ting, mon.” It’s puzzling why anyone… Read more »
“CHANGE IS INEVITABLE, EXCEPT IN PODIATRY” -YES, EDDY. They move the chairs around in different configurations but never add more.
If FOREIGN CARRIBEAN medical schools can get the dept of education to provide a “process” for their students to get into a residency why is DIRTY PODIATRY NEVER EVEN CONSIDERED? Why don’t the quack colleges ADMIT they’re NOT “JUST LIKE” medical schools, make a few tweaks, and start doing it right? Why must podiatry REMAIN A MEDICAL SALES BUSINESS, SELLING MOSTLY UN-NEEDED, ELECTIVE PROCEDURES AND DME’S (arch supports and shoes)? I think the leadership likes the BUSINESS AND MONEY PART MORE THAN THE MEDICAL PART.
Several states have started an Associate Physician program, If you are a foreign med school grad and did not get a residency but passed usmle 1,2 and 3 you can practice full scope while under another physicians license. So APMA how does that help your recruiting efforts for Podiatry?
PODIATRY LEADERSHIP IS A BLIND FAILURE. GIVE THEM NO QUARTER! ( that’s geometric and financial!)
Chasskin needs help. He seeks it by asking real doctors for help bc he needs help. Yet, he asks Bm management readers for help, that’s nuts.
Please let’s help him help himself at his very advanced age. Poor guy is still working.
We’ve been trying for years but some just can’t get it.
Robert, Check ot the powerpoint presentation at http://www.journalofdermoscopy.com
Amniox check out what it does.
SORRY, I’m not interested in your made up journal. I was actually just reading a laboratory/pathology journal about Troponin regular and high resolution. I was wondering if there was any troponin changes in heel pain. The statistics and baselines associated with co morbidities, age, and sex are beyond the scope of most foot technicians. Mr. Chaskin, there are real scientists and real DOCTORS looking into things seriously and scientifically. No one has time to assuage your insecurity by taking your self taught, self opiniated journal seriously. You seem healthy MR. Chaskin. Hop on a plane in the big New Yawk… Read more »
Sorry you feel that way Chaskin. I have NO INTEREST IN A MADE UP JOURNAL BY SOMEONE WHO’S NOT A DOCTOR OF MEDICINE AND YOU SIR ARE NOT A DOCTOR OF MEDICINE!
100 years later and podiatrists STILL WORRY about TOENAIL CUTTING COMPETITION. Just goes to show ya. When you strip away the lies and confabulations podiatry is STILL MOSTLY (not totally) but MOSTLY toenail and arch support problems. After 3 years of getting a taste of what DOCTORS and PA’s do everyday it must be a shock to start a foot office and see TOENAILS, CALLUSES, AND WARTS as your main business. All that fancy ankle fracture reconstruction limb salvage stuff becomes further and further away. And….wait for the first lawsuit after you did one of those “just like” procedures. You’ll… Read more »
