Podiatry Posts

Veterinarians studied suicides for the profession and found 3 times the national average. Will the APMA do the same?

The exact same reasons that Vets are committing suicide would seem to correspond to Podiatrists but we don’t ever hear about or get studies on it. This needs to be examined so people can get the help they need. Vets studied the problem; will the APMA do the same?

Suicide in Podiatry? That is like cockroaches committing suicide? I don’t know any after many many years?

Come on already. Can anyone tell the truth in podiatry? Will Barry Block actually edit out the lies? Another “medical mission”, now to Manila. Yes, those M.D.’s in the Philippines DON’T KNOW ANYTHING, DO THEY? Now, what about this CLAIM THAT THE NON MD FOOT TECHNICIANS TREATED 100’s of patients with problems ranging from General Medical Conditions…. OK STOP THERE. WHERE DO PODIATRISTS HAVE LICENSES OR TRAINING ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD TO TREAT GENERAL MEDICAL CONDITIONS? Are the pods treating heart disease, abdominal pain, T.B. or even prescribing Insulin to diabetics? This is pure PODIATRIC POPPYCOCK designed to fill foot… Read more »

Podiatry was for people with nothing better to do. And you did it. Who’s the dummy? Mirror, mirror.

ok time it’s time to expose barry block’s blog again. Bunion boy doesn’t have to read this because apparently too much reading makes him feel bad. Perhaps that’s why he didn’t get in medical school. Reading large volumes of material should be no big deal to an actual DOCTOR. So, a NURSE goes to quack school and after 7 years comes to the conclusion that PLANTAR FIBROMAS are cause by “PODIATRIC STRESS.”?! Real scientific. I suspect she wasn’t a very erudite nurse but a nurse in foot school has it over most and, hey, she’s really just ADVERSTISING when you… Read more »

If you look at the statistics, admission to vet school is relatively difficult. And after all that training and post grad training, most vets start with about $70,000. Pretty poor salary for the amount of knowledge possessed by most vets.

Its obvious Paul Bunion prefers to be a censor, banner, and lifer who wants the world HIS WAY. You don’t have to read it Mr. Bunion ( who I think is our old friend DAVE W.). Only a lifer would be offended by such a tangent on the truth. Maybe you mommy didn’t tell you. You can stay in your own room with your own kind of people and pretend a world doesn’t exit outside your fantasy one. Of course you didn’t comment on any of the SUBSTANCE BUT INSTEAD MADE AN AD HOMINUM IMPEACHMENT. This is the kind of… Read more »

Well, for those of us who THOUGHT we were getting into a (type) of actual Medical School, and who THOUGHT we were getting into a NEEDED and RESPECTED specialty, and stayed in podiatry despite finding the contrary, one might posit that podiatry is SLOW MOTION SUICIDE. It certainly is a Suicide of truth. It certainly is a suicide of ACADEMICS. It certainly is a suicide of COMPETENCE. (ie- when they said the MD doesn’t know anything about the foot, the truth is, the MD IS the GOLD STANDARD AND WE ARE THE POSSEURS). For too many, podiatry is a SUICIDE… Read more »

I’m worried that the number of DPMs will rival the number of DVMs if they have to keep reading the 1000 word manifestos that Robert writes several times a day, spewing the same crap.

Robert appears brain damaged. He repeats the same bs each day and thinks it’s causing change. He appears brain damaged.
