Let’s not pretend that the CAUTION AND CONSERVATISM of insurance companies is NOT JUSTIFIED. Vicious abuse by groups that value money more than morality is a major factor. I recall overhearing a conversation in the early 70’s from one type of this pod saying, “the year of the $100,000 practice is here”! Note that, factored for inflation, $100,000 in 1972 is equivalent to $750,000 in 2024. (Siri inflation calculator) What do you think the point of “practice management-increase your bottom line” seminars are all about? How many “seasoned” pods billed for “padding and strapping” with tricky codes? Are you hearing… Read more »

Real money is made in business, not the “business of medicine”.
No. Just ask Mr thompsons. They lust after money. For profit “health” “care”.
Greedy capitalist pigs.

In the interim, continue to pay those monthly premiums and deductibles so our for profit “health” insurance C suite team can get their 7 figure bonuses and 8 figure salaries.

Show me the moron
I CANNOT believe King Barry posted this idea …………. Indeed ………the poster and editor of PM are both morons.
To me, the goal is simple – get a group of leaders (past and present) to have a conclave with a single task: Figure out how DPMs can earn $400,000+ in practice (like other specialties); then the applicants will pour into podiatry.

Show me the moron
Mr. Ribotsky does not realize all past and present leaders (ie. apma board members) have always been a bunch of political foot morons. None of them realize how pathetic and embarrassing this profession has become. Which makes every one of them ( DeHeer, Alper, Santi et.al ) all PROUD FOOT MORONS.

Denying claims is fun
They don’t realize sht bc they’re brain dead. Brain washed and propagandized. Heavy teevee watching of corporatist govt faux news, mslgbt, bbcck and bnn. All crap. All Psy ops. Wear that mask dipshits. Remember—educated proletariat is very dangerous.

Sybly
Let’s be fair APMA president exceeds that. In my 40 plus years pods who make that money are in jail and/or kicked out medicine.
Guest
Show me the moron
As usual , Sybly ( Dave/Hugh ) is wrong. Why don’t you check on line how much many podiatrists make Hugh money lecturing, consulting, and from corporate relationships. There are lots of pods making over $400,000 a year. Pods working with ortho groups ( not pod groups like you did before you were cancelled Sybly ) frequently make more than $400,000.

NOT IN THE EAST COAST AREA, ESPECIALLY NEW YAWK. Other parts of the country live in a Nirvana world (especially the mid west and South East) where they’re not subject to scrutiny as much as in the North (east). Pods in ortho groups MAYBE $200. Pods are just so happy to be “considered” they’ll work for less just for security and ego.

Spare Ribbed
Or have a way to get an accident, then collect from lawsuits and settlements. Applicants will pour in.
Didn’t this Floridian dipshit have both calcanei operated on by MDs Not podlings. Yep, he sure “loves” podiatry…..

Sounds like you are referring to Dr. Bret Ribotsky who sued the coast guard after he crashed his boat into a wall. I wonder if he made more money from the suit than he ever made in podiatry ?? PM News never reported how much $$$ Bret collected.
