Two flunky females running a site to fill you in on what podiatry meetings are available each month. And there is no shortage of these.
The females offer tips on how to maximize your meeting experience. The females offer tips for exhibitors. Best of all, the females offer an evaluation of the the meeting.
Sounds reasonable. Another service to the “profession”.
Not so fast.
The females are a bit off.
The site sponsor ? NEMO.
And who writes an article on what to look for in a meeting ? Good old Jonathan Moore, of Balance Brace and Amerigel fame. That’s who.
And what else ?
A nice article on the greatness of IPED.
So there you go. Another bought and paid for podiatry site. This should tell you everything you need to know about these two females.
Seems like there are only two possibilities. Either the females are naive or ill informed, and do not realize the bad neighborhood in which they are traveling.
Or they are another not to be trusted with anything for a buck venture.
Either way, their website has 0.0 credibility.
I think it comes down to the fact that if you wanna succeed, or even survive, in the podiatric/USian system, you have to behave as that system wants you to, which includes reproducing its hu$tling/huckstering “values.” Hence, podiatry will never change, as it IS the us.
Podiatry meting bad maybe be triple x meting foot freshist
Some lectures on ankle and leg at AOFAS meeting podiatrists can not legally perform??!!??
I wonder if Lowell Weill Jr., The FABI Hustler and Huckster will attend the annual AOFAS meeting in San Antonio. You can be sure he will not discuss (or be too embarrassed to discuss) FABI with the foot and ankle orthopedic surgeons. Would he sign up for the AOFAS meeting as an M.D. or D.P.w.t.f. ?
Eddy, Cappy Pod and others have discussed leaving of that Dp wtf off of any name badge card etc…. it detracts from your essence. It’s an eye sore—kinda like living on a shitty street with broken down cars on lawns, old appliances rusting outside, cars with tarps, old shitdump boats in backyards, tons of mags -videos in boxes…..Think—-junkyard. The Dp wtf was a “junkyard” acronym
They actually list a REAL DOCTOR meeting on their website. https://podiatrymeetings.com/event/aofas-annual-meeting-chicago-il/
