Yes, Skeever. That’s true podiatry…and the LIFER sees himself as “accepted” when in reality he’s being “USED”. DUMB BUNNY.

My personal opinions: First of all, podiatrists can treat foot ulcers, cut callouses and debride fungal toenails and refer to vascular doctors, medical doctors etc… As far as making money in podiatry, this might be problematic. Many patients might not need foot surgery so why should any podiatric resident emphasize surgical alternatives if a patients lifestyle might not benefit if possible post op complications occur? Shouldn’t podiatry residents tell their patients surgical alternatives might lead to possible complications that might result in not being able to go to work etc….

A podiatrist can also join a wonderful state society by first qualifying. The way one qualifies is first to pay money or rather dues. If membeship is decreasing, other podiatrists might try to stop the rate of a membership decrease by qualifying to join by paying dues money. Paying dues monies entitles a podiatrist not to attend all the detailed subject matter they might want to learn about, but it does allow an opportunity to meet many friends and socialize and learn about topics that one really might not be what one is interested in such as a detailed course… Read more »

People might spend their money and lose their money. But if one spends their money they may get something in return. The qualification to join the APMA and state societies if the money is enough. If the money is not enough you might not qualify. One can attend meetings, see all the vendors with smiles etc…. disclaimer: my personal opinions are that illegal sources of money should never be used to obtain any qualification for any membership. Monies from other sources other jobs ( legally earned monies ) could be used to qualify. Once a member, one can perhaps volunteer… Read more »

Maybe getting a Doctor of Divinity diploma from the Universal Life Church carries more oomph than DPM…you can be a legit ordained minister, priest, rabbi, whatever…Do weddings and funerals and give “spiritual guidance,” and it’s legit. For an extra few bucks you can get a PhD, or DM (doctor of metaphysics) and really go to town. DPM DM PhD DD…wow – who the dr now bubba? Down Springerville you can use all those RECOGNIZABLE degrees and BAM y’all be the go-to guru. “Yes I saw he pastor of paraphernalia to get the holy hammertoe done fixed.” Wow, book a bus… Read more »

More happy news from the podiatric preacher, the evangelical minister of metatarsals, pastor of paronychia, deacon of digits. Hallelujah, is anyone becoming a born-again podiatrist yet? The bubbly posts from the cheerleading squad for foot clubs doesn’t get it. NOBODY COMES HERE PUSHING happy crappy propaganda or is dumb enough to buy into the mythology.

Why I hated Podiatry in NEW YAWK: Levine, cosmetic foot injections, TV advertising, upper east side, $3,000 for a hammer toe!!, NON M.D., BARS ON THE WINDOWS, AND WALLS FULL OF MEANINGLESS PLAQUES to name a few. I am ashamed that I was associated with (conned by) a “flim flam” fake medical profession when I thought I was accepted to a real, legitimate, needed specialty that was part of the mainstream. Billing $175,000 for a couple of hammer toes ($85,000 of which was billing her office as an operating room). Is this the NEW YAWK QUACK COLLEGE WAY? Take that… Read more »

How can a podiatrist recommended foot orthotics on a TV add if they do not know if a patient needs orthotics or not? One curious thing about biomechanics. How many cadaveric studies were performed by Root in the concepts taught to us in school? How many podiatrists read orthopedic texts regarding biomechanical theories? Perhaps under the lamena pedis getting tense with calcaneal version the foot becomes actually more rigid. Thinking like this is the exact opposite of what we learned at NYCPM. By the way Seth, Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah to all our wonderful colleagues in podiatry. We are… Read more »

Yeah, you’ve got to hand it to that New Yawk quack college. They KNEW a good candidate who would carry on podiatry’s traditional mercantilism. They’re proud of her. Watch. They’ll give her a plaque and she’ll make more money speaking at “practice management” seminars, THE WHORE.

So? You don’t walk on your heart. They teach that in P schools, right? You can bill whatever you freaking want – more power to her. Doubt if she’ll collect it though. Screw wound care and toenails this gal did/does what other pods don’t have the nerve to do, and makes the pretender lifers imitating orthos look even more idiotic in the profession to make a few bucks.
