Take a look at Region 3. Or the Goldfarb Pennsylvania meeting.
They summarize the stupidity of the DPM in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.
These meetings are a tribute to several things. The Goldfarb foundation is now a joke. They hold meetings based upon corporations providing speakers for infomercials.
No regard to helping you become a better doctor. You have a series of charlatans and hucksters selling their wares.
All with the enforcement of useless Portnoy, the APMA in crowd, and the useless slugs at Goldfarb.
Look at the meeting. A sales pitch from our friends at AAPPM. Sales pitch from me big shit surgeon (ie. Jason Miller) whose ass was kicked out on the street by the Rothman people, now selling lapiplasty bullshit.
Balance braces and Amerigel by Dr. Johnny Moore, worthless practice management tips by overweight Rem, Traci the former “dancer” selling BAKO, it’s simply pathetic. Split tooth Rogers selling the services of his horseshit wound care company.
And of course the FIDSA package insert specialist regurgitated by Dr. Joseph the fake infectious disease doctor.
Why are all these cretins at these meetings ? Simple. Goldfarb, Region 3, have but one qualification to lecture: will somebody pay for you.
And maybe a few extra grant bucks for us. And of course, the APMA efforts to push their favorite doles in front of you.
You have to ask why the PA, NJ, and Delaware pods don’t stand up and ask for a real education. Well, Dr Marty from Goldfarb knows why. Dr. Portnoy knows why.
They know that nobody actually gives a shit. They give you CME’s without the E. Lecturemercials are what you get. Sales pitches, and manipulations.
Pathetic is the only word to describe the states of education in PA Delaware, and NJ. Sad and pathetic.
These are not meetings. They are flea markets. And you allow this to continue. Continue that is down the path of corruption, abuse, incompetence.
Get rid of Portnoy. Get rid of Marty.
Wake up and realize what they do not provide you: Education. They give you shit and you sit there and eat it.
Barry has his head so deeply embedded in shit that one doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Well, we do (the former). Massive reality distortion is something declinists welcome. Onward and downward. Enjoy the decline!
Robert—-spot on as usual. The plantar fasciitis advert disguised as “knowledge”–the typical us marketing ploy in the Oogah Boogah Times. The $2000 bunion billing in the 70s and 80s was mostly bogus and why insurance companies and others clamped down on that dp wtf FRAUD. It’s why podiatry will be looked upon as a huge question mark, a huh a what, and whatsa as Caddy Pod would say.
Gap tooth was very funny. Believe it came into a pep rally for some lame us polly thing in scrubs. Bullshit artist. Couldn’t answer a question frankly if its life depended on. Did some PC, namby pamby meely mouth faigla shit.
Further codification that podiatry is a Medical Business of low quality academics mounts and mounts. One of Barry Block’s favorites, Podiatrist Borreggine, has himself regressed to that age old podiatry action of getting BUSINESS by “advertising through the news media”. Is any one else totally sick of advice on PLANTAR FASCITIS? Nearly every nurse and Boy Scout knows about this simple condition and the photo of the fake doctor discussing it is simply just SELF SERVING and of no medical value . I’ve long held that orthotics are one of the biggest scams in academia. The alleged, compensation here, and… Read more »
So, what we are continuing to see, despite the propaganda, is NOT MEDICINE, BUT THE PODIATRIC SALES BUSINESS. I’VE always said podiatrists aren’t actual doctors, they’re medical salesmen. I’ve never seen so much emphasis on the almighty dollar at a seminar than at a PODIATRY seminar. Students, and potential students. STOP NOW!, if you think you are in medical school or are being trained to be a doctor. Podiatry’s history, from the inception of the first franchise in NY city, to 2019 and beyond is to be a “nice little business”, “just like” those MD doctor fellas” but without the… Read more »
This is far beyond embarrassment. Did they have to pick the cobwebs off of the infectious disease literature regurgitator? This is a person who realistically hasn’t actually treated a patient in at least 15 years. They couldn’t find a real ID expert who actually treats patients? They have the former tip toe ballet queen speaking about life altering topics such as fungal toenails, warts and interdigital macerartion. Can’t wait to see her list of comficlts who sponsor her. The fact that they are bringing up the huckster with the Mooron Brace actually disturbs me. Selling something with NO literature to… Read more »
Don’t be a company man. Those fellas are company men. They all think they’re relevant. Maybe to a few, however, eventually the truth comes out and it’s usually very foul. Thanks Paul Funion for the excellent post
