29 physician specialties ranked by annual compensation.
Where is podiatry or podiatric surgery ? I thought podiatrists were physicians and surgeons !

Podiatry girls wearing over sized thick rimmed glasses to appear smart-even though they were likely on their backs during 3rd tier “school”. . Now it’s Ms professional lolol.
Also, what’s the “accomplishment” of the 30year propaganda run?
You go girl! Not.
The accomplishment is that Barry and Hermine Block have a nice life off the advertisers who want YOU to make THEM RICH. For some pods, especially drop out ones like Barry Block, it’s about money and adulation to make up for their physical and psychological immaturity.
Sounds like scumbags. Typical.
Do you think most pody girls were on their backs or knees during ‘schooling’, then once they hit the wall or became a fake doctor become-pretend to be “serious”
Some rode the Ritter, some broke the Ritter. Others watched Jack tripper
Many dmp Anglo females are fat and aged horribly. Likely bc their inward appearance is now external. Dig it schlock.
They’re all the same. Scumbags and douchebags.
Attention: Dr. Bob Bijak Re: 30 year anniversary of PM News I cannot help but notice they have not yet printed your 30 year congratulatory note to Dr. Bloch. I know you wrote one in and it was probably a lengthy discourse and congratulatory letter. I suppose there were so many that preceded you that he has not yet had the time to print your letter. It’s kind of interesting to look at the people who have written in and congratulated the Dr. Bloch. Seems to me, it’s like watching the movie night of the living dead. I don’t think… Read more »
BARRY BLOCK HAS A HISTORY OF BANNING AND CENSORING MY TRUTH TELLING. I suspect when he saw where the commentary was coming from he banned it without reading or thinking about it. So very cultish. So very podiatric. So very New Yawk drop out Barry Block. Podiatry has some smart dudes in it but it appears to have more mediocre ones than smart ones. These non discerning podiatrists are the only way podiatry could continue the con and money extraction. My proof of mediocrity is that so few have UNSUBSCRIBED FROM BARRY BLOCK’S PM NEWS ADVERTISING BUSINESS BLOG AND WHO… Read more »
97% of dpwtfs are not discerning. They’re sad , easily influenced clowns. Remember that mask thing…Pepperidge farm remembers.
Think dolts who watch cnn or fox and think it’s “news”….
Podiatry post is a wonderful publication because it lets me post my opinions on why everyone should pay money to qualify to join the APMA and state societies. It does not matter if state societies I feel are unsuccessful in increasing my scope. The importance is the fun meetings and friends met at meetings and socializing. Awesome meetings Please qualify for membership by paying money.
Disclaimer: not everyone is smiling at the meetings. There might not be enough bagged lunches to go around but there are teabags if one looks carefully.
If the pod post has any weakness Mr. Chaskin it’s publishing you. Are you enjoying the attention your parents or the public didn’t give you?
Robert, What makes pod post great are my posts. Please read and cherish them
All the best,
By the way, please smile and be happy.
Danielle Simpskin will likely write in congratulating the thin lipped shyster for providing silly shoe pics daily to whack off to for her stress relief
Why and how did podiatry become controlled by a cult? We know Barry Block dropped out of podiatry to start his PM News advertising business and that he is in close with Lifers. Look who celebrates his business of “making podiatry look good”. Podiatrist Glickman, Kornfeld, Helfand, Kesselman are right there back slapping and congratulating the great con. You know the type. Where you offer something FREE in exchange for your e mail which number is SOLD to advertisers and converted into millions of dollars. Block stays rich because so many podiatrists are too lazy to UNSUBSCRIBE realizing they can… Read more »
Kesselmans is another thin lipped shyster. It’s like MDs going to medical assistants conference to learn….that’s a shyster
Fck work. It’s for those with nothing better to do.
Liebeskind, Teitelbaum, Weinstein,Ressler, Levy, Betschart. Where’s the diversity of opinion? “YASHAR KOACH” they say to their buddy Barry Block. Is PM news the ” VOICE OF “Lifer” Podiatrists” instead of “podiatrists”? It seems so. I guess it’s big news that a couple of pods were allowed to talk to OSTEOPATHS seeing they themselves couldn’t be D.O.’s. What’s the big news? The ASYMPTOMATIC FLAT FOOT and why it should be AGGRESIVELY treated. Yup, it doesn’t hurt, Doesn’t cause problems but it SHOULD be treated. They cite something about one study that says the magic # is 31 years old. That’s when… Read more »
Zellenskyy would be proud of barry
It’s like the synagogue quarterly “news” letter. Back schlappers and which Narcopath gave most to the temple etc etc
51st state klub
What’s happened to my commentaries here and in the last subject? They WERE there “AWAITING MODERATION”. Were they not Moderate enough?
Yes chasskins imbecilic ruminations and flatulentinations are going though. Opinions and dopey smiles
If someone is happy chances are they are smiling. Now you understand the importance to spend your money to join the APMA and state societies. I am a member. Why not consider spending your money the way I did so I could qualify for membership? So what if they only helped a few others increase scope and not yourself. Think of the positive fun meeting old classmates and vendors that are smiling. I bet you one of these days you are gonna follow my lead and join. Think of all the opportunities. Ya might even be a member of the… Read more »
And some of you are proud to be a podiatrist with men like Chaskin in the APMA? No wonder PODIATRY IS A SCREWED UP TRADE THAT THE MD’S WON’T LET THEM SIT FOR THEIR EXAM. The Chaskin types make me ASHAMED TO BE A PODIATRIST. btw, so do the Blocks and Kesselman’s.
Chaskini is not a Man. He is a male.
What wrong with thin lisping lips?
Join me and be proud to be a member of the APMA and state societies.
They’re not doctors. Ask gassworth
Why do different physicians ask me why I didn’t go to medical school? Wait a second, podiatric medical school provided me with a list of medical texts to read. Those texts were very helpful. Very important to get updated editions. My opinion is podiatrists appreciate their podiatric medical colleges providing a list of texts to read. Those texts just might be the same texts medical schools recommend to medical students. Thus podiatric and medical school provided the means to acquire a complete medical education through reading texts. Then when in practice all that knowledge is useful especially when conversing with… Read more »
Did you miss psychiatrist books?
Wrong! Medicine is NOT a CORRESOPONDENCE COURSE where you read SOME CHAPTERS of some books and get a certificate suitable for framing (dpwhat?), Mr. Chasking You’re WRONG AGAIN when you say you “acquire a COMPLETE medical education through reading texts”. Ever hear of rotations, patient contact, or ACTUALLY DOING something that’s written? Remember those near empty quack college clinics where C&C was the main activity? Of course YOU CAN’T UNDERSTAND why “different physicians ask me why I never went to medical school.” That LACK OF INCITE is why YOU WERE NEVER CHOSEN FOR A POST GRADUATE PROGRAM. You continue to… Read more »
Robert, being chosen in my opinion was political. If one was not related did not know someone they did not get chosen.
Also now everyone is being chosen.
Reason no current podiatry residency shortage
Of course you think it’s political Mr. Chaskin. No No No. A wonderful intellect like yourself WASN’T CHOSEN for only that reason.
If someone is happy chances are they are smiling. Now you understand the importance to spend your money to join the APMA and state societies. I am a member. Why not consider spending your money the way I did so I could qualify for membership? So what if they only helped a few others increase scope and not yourself.

Often depressive disorders masquerade as overly joyous, content, and enthusiastic.
Robert, engaging in dialogue with strong opinions is often futile, and to an extent disturbing. Engagement often encourages inappropriate behavior. The continuous posts are “outside the scope” and the spirit of the commonality regarding the P, antithetic at best. Don’t feed the need to feed self serving, albeit pseudo-informative commentaries. No good comes from this. I don’t know what to make of the incessant “coaching?” other than the sound of distant thunder under the guise of sunny skies. Sometimes, reading the posts is enough, reinforcing with engagement perpetuates further commentary of a nature inconsistent with the general thrust to improve… Read more »
Of course you’re right Eddy. It’s MY weakness to engage the fool, Mr. Chaskin. Podiatry has wallowed so long in nonsensical mentation and misrepresentation that has gone unchallenged. Since the advent of The Podiatry Post, I’ve been able to exhaust a long retained steam, and that cathartic somewhat satisfies 40+ years of frustration with the blinded Lifer types and propagandists like Block and his PM News.
I appreciate your view, which may not be as prejudiced as mine, and will TRY to resist. No promises, but I will take your wise advice to heart. Regards.
Thank you Robert for agreeing to try to not engage me.
If you do engage me we can agree to disagree amicably.
Life is short and so is happiness.
Robert, I wish you well, good health and happiness.
By the way, Seth has got my back as well as always allowed to post.
You’re WRONG AGAIN MR. CHASKIN. I DIDN’T agree not to engage you. I said I’d TRY but you are such a disgusting irritant that makes podiatry look bad it’s difficult not to scratch your annoying itch. There are 2 things for certain. 1. You are either too stupid to understand and 2. You are a PURPOSEFUL IRRITANT (a Barry Block acolyte and shill) designed to distract. Either way you are an insult to civility and comity, PROVING once again, that the QUACK COLLEGES AND APMA HAVE DONE A POOR JOB IN STUDENT SELECTION. You would have made a great SHOE… Read more »
Chaskinitis alert. Dipshit
If a patient with pedal edema has a diuretic, this could be problematic if a patient has inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion leading to further hyponatremia. This may result in electrolyte imbalances and cause siezures etc….
This is why podiatric medical school is important, because they provide a list of medical texts to read so that a podiatrist can inform the patient’s primary of conditions such as the above. My guess most podiatrists are already doing things such as speaking with a patients primary physician regarding pedal pathology seen.
If a patient has pedal edema and is on a diuretic it was MOST LIKELY Rx’s by their M.D. who monitors electrolytes and attendant cardiac associations. This is Waaay OUT OF SCOPE for a NON MD FOOT TECH. Many years of INTERNAL MEDICINE makes the MD very competent in this COMMON SCENARIO. What do you think MD’s do? grind toenails and sell arch supports and shoes. THEY’RE DOCTORS not pretend technicians. MD’s don’t need podiatrists to talk to them about anything. As a matter of fact podiatrists get in the way. If there were no podiatrists people would be cared… Read more »
MDs do need podiatrists to talk to them.
There is so much to know an MD cannot know everything. A podiatrist is A specialist with additional knowledge about symptoms in the feet they may have gotten from textbooks learning from other MDs etc …
Mr. Chaskin, Let me tell you something BARRY BLOCK AND HIS PM NEWS WOULD BAN AND CENSOR. If an MD cannot know everything with a 3.7+GPA, superb MCAT scores, excellent medical school education, real hands on rotations IN ALL SPECIALTIES, YEARS AND YEARS OF ACGME TRAINING, AND SPECIFIC, RECOGNIZED SPECIALTIES IN ALL AREAS OF MEDICINE (except perhaps toenails and arch supports) then where does that leave “the inferior trained and educated podiatrist”? You’re wrong to say that a podiatrist is a “specialist”. Podiatry is NOT A RECOGNIZED SPECIALTY. It’s rarely even a choice to click on to read an article.… Read more »
The MD is not a specialist in everything else. Medicine has advanced to a point where a primary physician cannot know everything. This is why a primary physician refers to a dermatologist for a skin condition, or a podiatrist for a long toenail that needs trimming etc….
How many MD’s do you know from toenails?
Podiatrist provide a valuable service.
So do nail salons, shoe salesmen and garbage men Mr. Chaskin. None of them, including podiatry, is as DOCTORAL as an MD or Ph.D. The dpm is still not recognized. Perhaps when the computer stops underling it in RED AS UNRECOGNIZABLE I may reconsider. Btw, many many MD’s treat skin condition and only refer when truly suspicious of a malignacy or if what they’ve been doing isn’t working. MOST skin conditions improve with steroids alone. If you think MD’s and PA’s need to refer to a dermatologist then CERTAINLY THE LESSER TRAINED AND EXPERIENCED FOOT TECH (dpm) SHOULDN’T BE PLAYING… Read more »
First of all MDs can biopsy a foot skin lesion have that biopsy be negative and the patient dies Because all the degrees in the world be it an MD or DO might miss structures and patterns invisible to the naked eye that the user of a dermatoscope will likely pick up on and save a life. Proper instrumentation and the knowledge how to use this instrumentation is more important than the degree of the individual diagnosing a condition. I lectured on this topic at Superbones East in 2017. I lectured at a podiatry dept of a local hospital etc…… Read more »
A competent biopsy negates everything you said Chaskin. Sorry Eddy. What he says is so narrow minded it must be countered so the world doesn’t thing all podiatrists are as simple as Mr. Chaskin.
A competency biopsy alone can lead to death without additional dermatoscope. Information.
Wrong!
If a competent biopsy is performed between 2 radiations from a melanoma or between 2 pseudopods which are anatomical structures and patterns invisible to the naked eye the biopsy is likely negative and the patient could die.
The operative term is competent. A word that doesn’t apply to you
My guess is he must have billed for an initial visit. What is wrong with that?
A few techs hate to be reminded they’re not actual Doctors. No matter. Nothing they say or do will change the truth. They’ll never live to see a scope that would allow them to do what even a G.P.’s PA can do regarding edema heart disease diuretics or any other systemic disease.
Even Barry Block’s glorious 30 year business racket can’t put the Humptey podiatric Dumptey together.
Do the rusty bars on your Bronx cheer office windows /door keep you in or out?
Chaskin runs down the commentaries clicking NEGATIVES like a CHILD swiping at his mother when she won’t buy him a piece of candy. No surprise that intellect WAS NOT ONE OF THE CHOSEN ONES FOR A PROGRAM.
Danielle Simpskin- – true dpwtf
Newsflash Robert. I do not and never gave a negative or positive rating to posts on pod post. Sometimes someone else has been posting as me. So try to figure out who that is. One last bit of advice please smile, be happy and spend your money to qualify and join me as a member of the APMA. Remember, deep down as podiatrists we care about each other and our patients. So once again please bring out your smile and be happy. One clue to happiness. Please make up a friendly song and begin to sing. Perhaps play an instrument… Read more »
Caution. There unhinged podiatrist is capable of drawing their Dremel and burring through layers of fascia to tear apart your intestines, grabbing a kidney, and squeeze the common bile duct so tight your liver explodes. And then those diuretics won’t do squat. You won’t need an MD you’ll need an undertaker.
Closed down my office in Queens. But cherished my opportunity to qualify for membership in the APMA And state society by paying money for dues. Think of all the friendly podiatrists with smiles at all those fun meetings. To see old classmates vendors awesome.
Will you sell steel bars as scrap metal to help students in debt?
SOrry BUB. Its Podiatry School, not close to medical school, where are the internal medicine, emergency room , OB-Gyn, Pediatrics And general surgery rotations? Where are the 3.75 GPA students? They are in Medical school.
So cut the delusional post and go cut some nails and be happy
The texts are the same. Reading texts working with licensed physicians observing them in their offices to gain clinical knowledge.
Do this for 5 ten or 20 years and one learns from texts and licensed physicians.
Apparently state legislators don’t agree with you Chaskin. That’s why they limit you BY LAW. Also, apparently the MD’s don’t agree with you because THEY WON’T EVEN SAY YOU’RE QUALIFIED TO TAKE THE MOST BASIC EXAM A MEDICAL STUDENT CAN TAKE.
Observing them in their office? It’s obvious you don’t understand how a REAL MEDICAL EDUCATION WORKS. Watcherships in offices are the province of foot techs. not actual DOCTORS. You’re WRONG IN NEARLY EVERYTHING YOU SAY. YOU ARE MAKING PODIATRY LOOK WORSE THAN IT IS AND THAT’S ALREADY PRETTY BAD.
Robert, a good reason to become a podiatrist is To qualify to join the APMA and state societies so one can attend meetings, have fun socialize etc… Sure if you go to medical school you can treat the whole body have an unlimited scope, But think of all the happiness one gets being able to be qualified to join the APMA and state societies. I am so grateful and appreciate Seth for allowing me to continue to post here. Thank you Seth. Please smile and be happy. Robert, if you continue reading my posts you may agree with me and… Read more »
WHy are there very few students applying to Podiatry School? Because 7 years is not worth a limited license on a profession that many other health care providers can do.
More evidence for STATE AUTHORITIES TO DO A MENTAL EXAM TO CHECK FOR FITNESS TO TREAT THE PUBLIC.
Medical students rotate through medical doctors offices. I know because I lectured to some of them about dermoscopy.
Medical students WILL BE doing Medical things. Podiatrists will watch forget and NEVER TREAT WHAT A MEDICAL DOCTOR TREATS.
WHAT A DISERVICE YOU DID if you “lectured on Dermoscopy” after never doing a residency in ANYTHING, NOT EVEN PODIATRY! If I sat in on several aeronautic lectures would you fly in a plane I designed? What an absolute DOLT! Mr. Chaskin, YOU LIKE THE ATTENTION SETH GIVES YOU HERE, DON’T YOU?
http://www.journalofdermoscopy.com
One does not need any formal residency whatsoever to obtain successful results and to teach others. You never commented what part of my lecture was a disservice. First hear the lecture, then comment on what parts you disagree before stating it’s a disservice.
My opinion is your reasoning calling my lecture a disservice was illogical.
Forget about logic for now and please smile and be happy
By the way, Seth has been very kind to let me post here.
Foot and ankle care can be done by anyone ! Cutting nails and trimming calluses is a job no one wants and therefore there is Podiatry. BUT, since the Podiatry schools want them to be surgeons, just to get students in for the money to operate, there really isn’t anymore true Podiatry. The APMA is a failure because they did not realize ( dumb) how mid levels are taking over medical care. 15,00 DPMs have NO SAY in the medical world. Now that RNs can do foot care and get paid the same as a DPM, good bye Podiatry, makes… Read more »
Hey wait. a second, the APMA and state societies have meetings where one can socialize have fun and meet old classmates.
It is fun to be a member. So what if there might not be positive legislative changes that increase my current scope of practice
The next time you take ill may your DOCTOR be one who prefers to smile make friends and socialize more than he’s serious about medicine.
