Well well well. Another APMA flop national meeting. 1,000 attended ! That included exhibitors, all the parasites that must attend to cut deals for themselves, everyone including bathroom attendants.
Pravda, through its minister of propaganda, announced that 100 attended the Lee Rogers board certification fiasco. That number included virtual attendees. See, nobody but the stakeholders in phony board money cares !
Most of those at APMA national were politicos, officers, committee members, corporate whores, you pay for with your dues in addition to the collection of hucksters and shysters there to do business with each other or to such in those dumb enough to purchase their services. Plus you paid for the “lectures”.
The National 2023 was a success if you benefitted from a free trip, dues paid for meals and honoraria, or cut a deal for yourself. How many were actual regular pods who attended ? Not many at all. Another fiasco of failure brought to you by APMA.
See you again suckers.
Our experience here was horrible. My sister and I went to see Schloffen for minor varicose veins in our legs. The name of the office is very misleading. Schoffen is a Podiatrist. A foot doctor!! Yet she is performing in office vein surgery, This should have been our first huge red flag. Most states only allow vascular surgeons and specialists to perform vein removal. The doctor examined us and recommended vein removal EVLT. She did NOT tell us she was a foot doctor, and portrayed a false image that she was a vasuclar doctor. Her office collected both of our… Read more »
Sounds like Jodi Shoenhause in Florida practicing out of scope. Is she the daughter of the Present Podiatry surgical editor ? I am not sure. Curious ?
Likely Joddy
“She did NOT tell us she was a foot doctor, and portrayed a false image that she was a vasuclar doctor.”
Schloffenhause yup
Lifers children go on to be lifers. Cultism, nepotism, nihlism, are hallmarks of those who think they’re actually DOCTORS.
Yeah, that Florida Legislator needs to examine podiatry. How did that state allow NON MD’S TO WORK ON THE LEG and up to the inguinal ligament? (bribes and backslaps?) I think this is the only state that does. Isn’t there a MICHIGAN CARPET BAGGER DOWN THERE WHO ADVERTISES HE DOES “COMPLEX LEG SURGERY”? What happened to that beloved foot? I guess the podo politicians were right when they said, if podiatrists get a broader license they’ll RUN AWAY FROM THE STUPID FOOT. Already they don’t use the word podiatry. Despite the glorious proclamations about the foot being the foundation of… Read more »
Robert, before I speak about turning Pod Post into a Musical Website about Happiness and enjoying our short life, my guess is most podiatrists are concerned about nephrotic syndrome, liver cirrhosis, dvt, hypothyroid,filariasis, pulmonary hypertension, tumor, malabsorption, etc…for underlying causes of pedal edema. This was all part of the internal medical course and pathology courses in podiatric medical school In the early 1980 s, and in current medical books. Referral to a vascular specialist is so important. I am grateful to be licensed in Florida. I find it hard to believe that podiatric residents do not rotate side by side… Read more »
Bad thinking when miss Prozac medication
YEAH, BARRY BLOCK IS ENCOURAGING YOU TO SABOTAGE THE PODIATRY POST. He wants his lying monopoly back and you’re the stupid foil to do it.
Help is available for you Mr chasskin
Musical website? How about for recent graduates. Funeral for friend by Elton John!
Mental illness can be treated. There’s no shame.
Mental illness presents in different ways. It’s important to recognize the presentations, and find them the help that they may require. New York has several pubic assistance programs for mental health.
Podiatry is the ‘Edible Arrangements’ of medicine. Makes no sense. Costs too much. Mainly irrelevant/redundant. Mainly Useless. Not really needed , costs too much. Yet people still buy it for a gag, niche, or a cute thing, etc…
It’s the Eligible arrangements of “health” poorfessions.
Just like the fruit platter display, Fink.
Interesting and appropriate analogy Mr. Fink
From student network podiatry: PM news or as I like to call it BM News is a way to keep Barry Block employed. He posts the most unbelievably embarrassing crap including the silly shoe of the day. Very professional, do you see urologists posting catheter of the day. There was some podiatrist that wrote in thanking Barry Block for having shoes of day pictures because it helped him relief stress. Really?! Barry Block reprints pictures of shoe of the day to get what exactly? Money, giggles, chuckles? It’s all happy fluff. Have to give him credit. Has a DPM degree… Read more »
Nice summary of why and who makes podiatry a DIRTY PROFESSION. UNSUBSCRIBED YET?!
the con ference was booming, engaging, incredible, and amazing. Please advertise in the propaganda times. Help employ me at 2 mill in ad revenues. Thank you suckers for writing in for Free and padding the fluff. Maybe perhaps someday I can see a rabbi for ethics snd morals counseling
The new Yawk quack school knows how to mine money. they start the indoctrination early. Under the guise of an “award” the medical school rejects are given awards by SPONSORS who’s products they’ll be pitching and selling when they get their foot business going. It’ll be tough competition with the Good Feet store walk thotics and PA’s everywhere. Another useless award (typical of podiatry) is some GOBBLY GOOK for podiatrist Coppola. He got an award for Professional Advocacy young physician advocate……….What? Oh that means he has a Passion for the profession. Which means he’s a deluded salesman scaring up students… Read more »
Pinkered has podiatry eyes.
Fake dyed hair on the “editor “. Even that black hair is not real. What else isn’t real? BM news. Fake hair, fake poorfession, fake awards, fake accomplishments-appointments, fakers.
Very well stated, my friend. Could not have been said any better.
The only thing that counts as real in podiatry is MONEY. If you make money all else can be rationalized. I think of some of the few podiatrist I respect and wish they were in power, but GOOD MEN don’t aspire to worldly attention. They get it by pursuing the clinical-academics and that gives them the attention. I have to mention Larry Di Domenico, dpm. I am thoroughly impressed how he went from a foot rez here in Buffalo then SELF PURSUED training overseas and became a MAJOR influencer in foot and leg surgery. Fortunately Larry left NY to return… Read more »
Is he like Jorge vito?
Selling Leg extensions ?
Carnival of the conned (Robert B) sans a few good Men. The rest are variations of clowns in the circus.
Substitute an a for u in fakers!
Nice catch Sybly.
“RELIEVE YOUR PAIN WITH “WALK FIT” (orthotics). This was a 30 minute TV infomercial by a dirty podiatrist. Along with the GOOD FEET STORE and nearly every Tom Dick and Harry it’s obvious foot problems are not that magical or difficult to treat. Yet, the 7 year “drs” still ask what is it and what do I do. I mean 80% of foot problems are so minor they either resolve on their own or I treated by the many many non dr. foot specialist out there that ARE NOT PODIATRISTS. Don’t give me that osteo., Charcot, amputation salvation, line. Although… Read more »
“Dirty podiatrist” is redundant.
Yup! But I like the sound of it!
I was there ….maybe 500 there if you count the vendors and residents. I went to take family to Nashville not the conference, Those conferences are useless. Besides, what kind of profession has less than 10% of the total Pods in US attend an annual meeting? Only the poor poor world of Podiatry.
What do you call national “conference” with a fraction of the pod world in attendance?
“It seemed like a nice neighborhood to have bad habits in.” ~Raymond Chandler from an aptly titled book, The Big Sleep.
Did puncha da face show up?
It was a private celebration for themselves (APMA), pat themselves on the head and tell each other “good job”
Should end this. no one cares except lifers, lecturers, and vendors. And a few students and residents.
It’s like the old tv show steinfeld. A show about nothing.
Hey “F”! You know, you’re right! Lot’s of “sound and fury” but nothing really happening! That’s podiatric politics.
Even the student dipshit network roasts this shyster.
“Today’s PM News yielded a bumper crop. Risks of going barefoot, followed by risks of working on concrete floor. April is national foot health month (since when???) plus the US job market is so saturated that somebody had to set up shop in Bermuda (ok ok I know he’s UK trained)”
It’s time that the field knows that BARRY BLOCK HAS DAMAGED PODIATRY FOR DECADES BY BANNING AND CENSORING HARD TRUTHS AND INFLATING AND EMPHASIZING PUFFERY MAKING PODIATRY LOOK BETTER THAN IT IS. By providing a SLANTED VIEW podiatry has failed to address is many major flaws. ONE OBVIOUS MOTIVE IS THAT Barry Block MAKES MONEY FROM ADVERTISERS WHO SELL TO PODIATRISTS AND WHO NEED TO GIVE THE IMPRESSION THAT PODIATRY IS A VIABLE NEEDED WONDERFUL PROFESSION. I feel BARRY BLOCK IS BAD FOR PODIATRY AND THOSE THAT REMAIN SUBSCRIBED TO PM NEWS ARE HURTING PODIATRY AND THUS THEMSELVES! Podiatry needs… Read more »
Just like shlock’s proclamation of “booming” conference. It’s to paint a pretty picture of podupetry to sell advertising space in his propaganda magazine . A shyster
Leave shysters blocks “news” rag in the MD lounge. Be a fly on the wall and watch them laugh their asses off. Yeah, “doctor” “physician”…. Dpwtf
Yup, all those big rear foot (we all did rear foot before the ABFAS decided they could make more money by dividing the exams into front and back!) wouldn’t dare leave that paper thin “podiatry today” magazine or PM news amongst the M.D.’s. They’ll bluster before you but cower before the MD. (and his PA too!)
Are there any omfs who only are boarded in incisors and others both incisors and molars?
Well maybe the quack colleges can offer a 2 year associate degree course for forefoot only. Why study and be examined on the whole foot when HALF WILL BE FLUNKED AND WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO DO THE FRONT?! And the leg? Forget it? How many states allow that? I guess you might as well ELIMINATE STUDYING SYSTEMIC DISEASES too because NO STATES AT ALL ALLOW A WTF dpm to do that. So, what’s left? A 2 year AAS or a 4 year bachelor level fancy Chiropody course. Now, if you had an N.P. doctorate and an extra year of… Read more »
During the “pandemic” , pods could not even give the experimental medicine. Yet, MAs could.
Some “doctor”….Noctor. Dpm= didn’t pass mcat
Forget 10 toe nonsense. This is the real dealio!

Hornschtein’s schmuck relative
That’s Hal Ornsteen’s nephew. Hal is the reason Chad started Integrated Med Reps. When Hal got thrown out of the AAPPM, Integrated Med Reps went directly INTO THE TOILET. Am I correct Mr. Ornsteen ? You betcha !
The website is “not found”. No more shart Schwartz
No more “integrated bs reps”.
Maybe they can integrate themselves at a real job.
Podiatry is a nice little business to make business from Morty. Even Barry Block’s got his wife HERMINE working off the foot thing. It’s the NYC way.
Thought she was doing travel agency bill sht?
I thought I saw her name somewhere in the PM wtf news too?
Shyster likely put her on the payroll-all in da family. Nice business saully

That’s a winner. File under: where are the snake charmers now?
Wow ! That is Hal Ornsteen’s nephew on linked in. If he was so GREAT, why did he leave Medtronic ??
If he was so GREAT why did he leave Wright Medical ? Now selling fisk skin shit. Really ??? Yo Ghast ………. could he be a snake charmer like his uncle Hal Ornsteen ?
What Did happen to integrated med reps?!?
It failed miserably.
Hallux Guy, why do you think of soy boy mr rogers and his board debacle? It seems like the failed political candidate needs another cause to fight to feed his spotted grey pube beard. Dude is late forties and is trying to look “distinguished”.
Aging horribly. Likely from a life of lies and embellishments
He spearheaded a roundtable meeting at The National to discuss ABPM, ABMSP, and ABLES. Silliness, foolish and a complete waste of time and energy. These leaders have lots of time on their hands to waste.
They figure if they make enough noise the ABFAS might give them a little “cut”. (pun intended) The dirtiest most untrustworthy podiatrists are the money loving leaders.
Hustlers, hucksters, love of money/control of the dolts.
“Annual Scientific Meeting (The National) in Nashville, TN. The meeting was an outstanding success with excellent lectures, hands-on workshops, a booming exhibit hall, and the engaged community that is a signature of The National.“
Lolololol —Bm news….propaganda
What else do you expect Block to print? He doesn’t want to touch feet anymore. He’s making money OFF of podiatry instead of IN podiatry. “Block is BAD FOR GOOD PODIATRY”!
Shyster should work for MSM since he loves propaganda and Psy ops.
Engaging con munity of hustlers and hucksters that’s booming Robert.
1000 dumb mothertruckers.
You betcha, Flatus. That is how many attended The National foot meeting. Well said. 1,000 dummies.
MD’S MUST BE LAUGHING AT THE IMPOSTERS.
Interlopers/carpetbaggers of health “care”
Podo politicians lie. Lifer podiatrists lie. Podiatric propagandist lie. The APMA seminar was “OUTSTANDING”, the salesfloor was booming? Have you ever heard otherwise? Of course they’ll hype it up. The image must be preserved. The VENDORS and THEIR MONEY must be secured for next year. Medicine? If you must. A couple of lectures mostly of things not applicable to daily poddying or within your license. All part of the yearly show to keep the con going. With pods like Kesselman and Lepore, and DOCKERY you know the lifer money machine is at work. The battle for the buck is on.… Read more »
Kesselmans side pic shows him appearing pregnant. His stomach is quite big.
Must be from eating all the expensed meals.
The propaganda and hustling were booming.
ABSOLUTLEY! Pod seminars are the BOOSTER SHOT needed to restimulate and reprogram the LIE. A PEP TALK describing what very very few practices do or ever will. A revival meeting. Hallelujah! I’m reborn in the lie and swear allegiance to credo of biomechquactics of arch supports. Pass the tambourine and fill it with DONATIONS. Just a little more money and we’ll get you that M.D.! OH, wait a minute. Erratum. I can’t use the word BOOSTER SHOT because podiatrists are forbidden by law to give them. (in some states, MAYBE, with special training and a nurse nearby some can) Who… Read more »
Ask kesselman and ribotwsky why dp wtfs can’t give tetanus shots yet fucking MAs can.
Yeah, but don’t ask that sensitive question in Block’s PM news lie. He’ll ban you like he did me. He got a phone call essentially saying Bijak’s exposing “what’s behind the curtain” (of lies).
You got a negative vote Robert. Cancelled it out bc you speak the truth. Lifers can’t handle the truth. They enjoy being lied to bc dealing with truth would be devastating.
Gee! I wonder if it was a lifer who couldn’t accept his “rejection”?
Could you image the mentality of a “doctor” taking the time, writing in to a well known propaganda ad space freebie rag about how looking at silly shoes helps with stress? Thanking the head clown for helping him relief stress during the scamdemic?
What type of person writes in? How is their mentation? Mini mental status exam is in order maybe? Of note, He’s not writing in about chemokines nor cytokines. He’s writing in about silly shoe pictures.
What sane person would feature MOLE SHOES with the eyes and skin of the animal. NYC produces some strange characters. Get out of your cult. Get out of the city (NY suburbs are still the city) and let your brain breathe the fresh air of other opinions. NYC dwellers all have to have a PERSONA. They try to look a little different in the MASSES. The problem is some take the persona to heart and home and begin to believe it.
That would require introspection and self reflection.
Daniel and Co don’t have any. Hence, they must believe in podiatry.
Sounds like a moderately severe form of chaskinitis
Dr. Steinhour,
Exactly what I expected. Did you attend ? I sure hope not.
