A Podiatrist sues a Hospital System for favoring Orthopedic Surgeons over Podiatrists

Here is the copy of the lawsuit where the Podiatrist claims that Orthopedic surgeons are going BKA too much instead of letting Podiatrists try and save the leg.

Everyone sometimes does dumb things. But I started the http://www.journalofdermoscopy.com
I was able to discover dermatoscopic foot surgery to successfully heal and begin regrowth of what were gangrenous toes. This is not dumb, but instead helpful and inventive. The world should investigate these positive results.

The DAM OF BARRY BLOCK STUPIDITY HAS BUSTED! A flood of quackery and non doctoral simplicity is Barry Block and his BUSINESS, PM News. What’s with Weiss AGAIN? Decades of advertising to get money in his foot business. I wouldn’t call him a doctor or introduce him to an MD as a doctor. Ingrown toenails AGAIN. See potential students? There’s nothing in or to podiatry. It’s a century of the same 20 conditions. Buy well fitting shoes.

Every day we show up Barry Block for the simpering fool he is. He outrageously perverts our profession. Why podiatrists support his advertisers beats me. Essentially they are medical dullards too stupid to realize they are only hurting and impeding themselves. BARRY BLOCK makes podiatry look stupid, naïve, and repetitious. Heel pain, fascists, pronation, and toenails. Same ‘ol same ‘ol for decades and decades. In a rut, evolution less. Too oblivious to care, or too untalented to see themselves falling behind others with broader licenses and training and who don’t even calling themselves doctor. Yet ,blind podiatry flaunts the dr.… Read more »

Hospital boards should not kick podiatrists off that did not due residencies. They also should not require experienced older podiatrists to do residencies.
Lastly, it is so important to help others even if they
Cannot pay for services. It is not about the money.

Yeah, there is something to be researched into to explain why so many CARS ARE CRASHING INTO NON MD FOOT TECHNICIANS STORES? Is it a subliminal loathing of frauds? Is it because so many techs are in strip mall locations with other businesses? Do their spinning foot signs with faces and big lettering distract?

If he KNOWS he’s embarrassing podiatry and making money off it, he’s full of HATE FOR PODIATRY. What he’s printing 5 days a week, except for SATURDAY, points out the most foolish parts of podiatry.

The lame excuse remains inexcusable – As Bokononon (Cat’s Cradle-Vonnegut) would say: “Live by iies!” – Robert, by the way the similarities of physician and technician is just this: They are both ‘cians—”¶Everyone in the profession is already a ‘provider’ or ‘prescriber’—Soon to become CIANS…then peons, attendant measurerer, so break out the Brannock, inhale the foot fume, and wear your mask—a task.

Here’s how the Secret Cult works. They purposely keep the technicians from evolving to be essential and relevant. The technician then only has a narrow band to make money in so the technician has to advertise for business. When the technician advertises, Barry Block COPIES THE ADS AND SELLS THEM TO ADVERTISERS….SO… BARRY BLOCK AND THE APMA, et al. PROFIT BY KEEPING PODIATRY DOWN AND DEPENDENT. THEIR BUSINESS NEEDS PODIATRIC DEPENDENCY. THE same plan works for the Democrats. Keep a group dependent on what they give them and collect votes and power. ALL BAD ACTORS use the same scam.

The TRUTH is the TRUTH no matter how fragile egos and delusions are. SILENTLY swinging at shadows instead of making concrete contributions accomplishes and changes nothing. A SMART person would know this. Smart and podiatry don’t always go hand in hand though.

Podiatry places its adjective in front of other Mainstream subjects trying to make it their own. Here’s my thinking.

If older podiatrists that practiced more tha 20 years need to go back to residency to become licensed in other states then my opinion is hospitals should be able to require dpms without an md degree need to go to medical school and orthopedic residencies to operate in hospital ORs.
How do you like that analogy? I believe people in general argues for situations that benefit them even if others are unfairly excluded and public health suffers.

Dan give it up. You were screwed (maybe you deserved it?). Your analogy is WRONG BECAUSE podiatry practice is set by the PODIATRY BOARDS not the MEDICAL BOARDS. Most podiatry sections in a hospital ARE UNDER MD ORTHOPEDIC OR GENERAL SURGERY CONTROL. PODIATRY FOR THE MOST PART NEEDS MONITORING BY ACTUAL MEDICAL DOCTORS. Only small COMMUNITY HOSPITALS MAY HAVE AN INDEPENDENT FOOT DEPT BUT THAT’S RARE. Because PODIATRISTS AREN’T DOCTORS, they do not meet the standards of training and experience that an MD has. Podiatry is a tolerated but unknown quantity. If YOUR COLLEAUGES (read APMA LIFERS) WANT TO EXCLUDE… Read more »

And yes absolutely !! most podiatry depts are under strict monitoring and examining by the MD ortho or MD gen surg dept. bc Dp wtfs are NOT physicians and « doctors » name only like chiropractors or naturopaths. Danny Boy, authentic, serious and empathetic question, Are you Ok? Bc the level of 3rd grade questions, Stockholm syndrome and inability to acknowledge reality and truth is breathtaking.

You are correct, Dr. Robert. Podiatry is never it’s own department within any hospital. Ever !!
It is a section within the Department of Surgery or the Department of Orthopedic Surgery.

Hmm. I thought I replied to this. Not sure what happened. But anyway Dan you’re Wrong. Podiatry Boards determine where podiatrists can practice. Hospital boards determine hospital practice. So you’re problem with no residency is the podiatry board not a hospital medical board. Your colleagues are keeping you where you are. Still paying dues to the APMA?

There is NO such thing as a “podiatry residency”. The AMA, the ACGME, and ABMS do NOT recognize podiatry “residencies”. That’s only for doctors.
