The similarities between the APMA and the United States Congress are striking to say the least. In the US Congress, you have self serving politicians who make the acquisition of personal wealth and power their priority. And they do this while failing to achieve anything to help those who elected them.
They essentially scam the US public. They misuse funds for personal profit. They openly lie without fear of repercussion.
A group of selected insiders manipulate the system to their benefit. There is no fear of reprisal.
And the APMA ? Well let’s see. APMA presidents and board members are always involved in businesses such as THASMA, lecturing for various corporations including PICA (when King lectures its PUCA).
They somehow are collecting, consulting, and lecturing fees from everyone. They run phony useless international groups of chiropodists. They run TALAR Medical.
They manipulate APMA seminars to allow friends and fellow investors to present their products as “lectures”. (ie. see Rem Jackson at the Florida SAM meeting).
They use your dues money to attend meetings for personal business. Or for plain old entertainment.
The executive director of the APMA is the Nancy Pelosi of Podiatry. He openly and willingly fails to stop APMA misuse, placing his personal security above that of the membership he is supposed to serve.
He answers only to the board, as Pelosi answers to AOC and the other left wing/nuts.
The Congress has CNN. APMA has Podiatry Management. I think Pravda maintains higher standards.
Yes sir. APMA and the Congress are identical twins. Corrupt. Self-serving. Do nothings. They fail to advance the profession, only themselves.
Poll question: Is it just me or are you sick and tired of listening to the same bullshit from Jeffrey Lehrman, the “next APMA darling”. Or Mike King ?
Shartstein is a funny DP WTF
There appears much commonality with many DP wtfs. Can’t put our finger on it….
Hallux guy nicely summarizes the black heart of podiatric politics. A nidus of crooks and fraudsters who got a gig of gold. He’s right. There is no incentive to increase the scope, license, or education, of the 12,000 NON DOCTOR, NON MD, PODIATRISTS. The National Education Department, the Government Student Loan Guarantor’s, as well as the Attorney General should be apprised of this racket. A deep dive into the collusion and intertwining of the APMA, the quack schools, the Boards, the Seminar Business, and the Barry Block type propaganda blogs should be examined. Hallux Guy highlights the dirty corrupt controllers… Read more »
The shysters will continue to hustle folks and profiteer off of idiot DP wtfs. They’re very proud of being DP wtfs. They needed false prophets and phoney Leaders to show then what was important.
Should would could all bullshit. Nothing will change.
So we have a new APMA president, Rhubarbstein. A Michael Bloomberg-like short guy, he is the paragon model of APMA corruption. While I was unable to find any academic accomplishments by him, I did find his hand deep into THASMA, Talar capital partners, and other business opportunities which MAKE MONEY OFF YOU SUCKERS. No conflict on interest there. Ever since Ira Krause set a low bar, the APMA insiders have been using the membership for private businesses. DeSantis and Bass are similar APMA board members knee deep in business ventures aimed at using you for money. And don’t bother looking… Read more »
Ira Krotch with the orange suit and bag pipes TN carpet bagger from New Yaawwk Shitty.
The bag pipe entrance with fat slob in an orange suit was just corporate cringe Bro
Rhubarbschtein was typical lifer. Short statured milk toast dp. A little weasel. Politician marketer. Says a lot of nothing.
As I age and become more entropic, my visits to the MD’s are educations I never received in quack college. I’ve learned a lot at my own health expense. As a foot technicians with several decades of work experience, I find that the difference between non MD foot techs and MD’s is legion. I never cease to be amazed, for example, at the breadth of knowledge and responsibility an Internist has. All systems, all diseases, all anatomy. At least a working knowledge to make a referral. He has to be familiar with everything from clinoid aneurysms to corns. Podiatrist Eckles,… Read more »
Fecal material was found on Lehrman’s thumb. Genetic testing demonstrated that it matched Christina’s rectal biotome. Enough said. Who is paying this clown to speak at every podiatry meeting ? Between him, DeCaro, puncha puncha Pat, the Kentucky Moron, Rem the incredible bariatric flunky, smiling John the pick pocket from AAPPM, our seminars look like a freakin carnival side show. Does anyone care about quality post graduate education ? Obviously the APMA does not. Sort of makes me miss Halitosis the airplane sex king. Do you think Brad will get the same reception when he returns that Bobbie Knight got… Read more »
Was there excrement in Harry’s head?
Dr Weaver of Florida talks helping fellow pods facing diasters or sicknesses. Happened to me they tried steal patients!!
Maybe I should start off with an apology because I may offend NC rearfoot and ankle. I 100% agree with everything he says but feel my fur got stroked in the wrong direction. I’m probably overly sensitive but I felt a little slighted about the “forefoot” designation as a pejorative. Again, I may be off base but it reminded me of podiatry’s division, competition and the one upsmanship that podiatry is noted for. I want to make one thing perfectly clear, IT’S THE PODIATRY QUACK SCHOOLS AND THE PODIATRY CPME AND THE PODIATRY REZIQUACKCIES THAT ARE TO BLAME. THEY FAILED!… Read more »
Amen .. yes
Are you incisor or molar centrifried?
Certified in Maxilla or Mandible ???
My observations: The profession has no respect from the allopathic and osteopathic community. Never did, never has, never will. The APMA is run by forefoot politicians. Every one of these forefoot politicians are out for themselves. BTW, Jeffrey Lerhman (Christina’s boyfriend) is president of ASPS. ASPS is a joke. Jeff Lerhman lectures on MIPS to his forefoot and wound care members. In fact ASPS is as much of a joke that Dr. Warren Joseph knows more about lower extremity ID then an MD or DO ID specialist. And the ACPM is as much of a joke as Dr. Brian Markinson… Read more »
I understand that the corona virus is spread by droplets. Given that fact, stay at least 6-8 feet from Lawrence Santi, the dribbling intellectually and ethically challenged future APMA president. The guy spits so much when he speaks the other BOD members wear face guards at their meetings. He scares me.
Thick and black rims. Makes them appear smart. It’s part of the con.
When are they going to say : it’s over? Enough of the self delusions and salvaging yammer. The amount of 24/7 propaganda and snow jobs is massive. Keep thinking things can change…..lol
Barry Block has gone all out. Full QUACK, and the Pod Posters here have caught him and called him out. “Hallux guy” is correct about Pea Cock. A self serving salesman for MIS. If MIS is so game changing why isn’t it published and peer reviewed? Why do PODIATRISTS ALWAYS SELL SOMETHING TO GET MONEY? PEACOCK WANTS YOU TO JOIN (and pay dues) MIS and he’ll teach you (for a fee) the magic cure all, “walk out of the office” foot repair. “SHOES SOLED WHILE YOU WAIT”! Podiatry and selling? Ask Alan Sherman and Barry Block. Two drop out podiatrists… Read more »
It appears that Jim Christina and Jeffrey Lehrman never leave each others side. Whenever I see one of them the other is right behind (up the ass). Are they having an affair ? I do believe Jeff Lehrman is desperately dying ( and trying) to get on the APMA Board of Trustees. This is so terribly obvious. Both guys are pathetic.
Maybe leeehmanberg can be the next gasstworthless. oh vey
Robert look at the silly mythology Larrys news blast. Got drapery for outrrrageous shoes of the day. Really. A Grown up with outrrrageous shoes pics. Something appears way off or maybe some mental derangement. And failed lib gap tooth business man rogdgie in some Eastern European shit dump Gypsy country promoting the foot business.
Hey Dan Peacock ( I ran into him in the men’s room. The name is correct ). Did you pay Barry for an advertisement for your letter ? You say that you have a secret minimally invasive technique for retro calcaneal spurs. And we can learn about it by paying you to go to your annual pseudoscience seminar. I want to hear about this. But I don’t want to pay you for the secret. Heres an idea. Why don’t you PUBLISH your technique. How about in a peer-reviewed journal ? In real medicine new techniques are subjected to study. Results… Read more »
Excellent and accurate analogy. Love the CNN=Podiatry Management. Guess that makes Barry the Block the Wolf Blitzer of podiatric propaganda. Corruption, manipulation, self serving narcissism. All hallmarks of political personalities. We see little progress with self interested congressman and little progress with self interested podiatric politicians. Pitooey! on all of them. Bad bad men. Glad I stayed far away from that ephemeral glory sought by a few insecure dpms “playing big shot” in the local APMA societies. Talk about election interference in Congress? The APMA HAS BEEN RIGGED SINCE ITS INCEPTION. Well, at least with the APMA you actually can… Read more »
