We can’t wait to see how they play this one !
The upcoming (upchucking) APMA National meeting has the lowest pre-registration and anticipated attendance for quite some years.
This meeting will have the lowest attendance of any meeting in many, many, many years.
This follows on the fact that this meeting has had a declining interest in the profession for many years because it offers nothing thanks to the executive director.
The APMA has already initiated to reduce cost and to cut back on staff and meetings at The National this year.
They will of course try to hide the fact that the program is crap and no one will be going.
But we will still see pictures of the executive director with his stupid smiling face standing next to Jeffrey Lehrman and exhibitors who are still dumb enough to give him a check.
It is a shitty program in a shitty location. Exhibitors will be pissed off. There will be more lectures on fungus toenails. More lectures on why you should biopsy everything not moving on a foot.
More lectures from Jeffery Lehrman, DPM filling time, because no one else will be there to lecture. More lectures from the practice perfect idiot who was a flunky in practice.
And don’t forget we will see Warren Joseph again resurrected from retirement. Yes still be allowed to learn at this meeting. What you’ll learn is that you waste every dollar you send to the APMA.
Anyone stupid enough to go to the lectures being offered will also be pissed off. But then again you could have just a great time in Salt Lake City. Can’t you?
Maybe they can add some things to make the program more interesting and attractive. For example, we can have a executive director drooling contest. My money would be on Larry Santi, the spitter.
How about a hotdog eating contest ? You know that Ira the human blimp would be the odds on favorite in that one. Or perhaps Presents can you bring their question and answer contest to the meeting with the board members as contestants? Nah, better not do that. It would probably take 20 hours until one of them got any of the questions correct. We would get down to things like “Give me the correct code for a great toe implant” or “how many letters in the word foot?”.
Here’s a question to ask; “ Who the hell decided to give $10,000 from the ABFAS for the Ass Hole of Fame Luncheon” ? Who made that decision to spend your money to do that ?
Maybe they felt sorry for Barry knowing that the gastric bypass flunky Rem would also be inducted and would probably eat any profits that would’ve gone towards scholarship money.
As Jewish person I find your comment jew fro wrong and anit-Semitic and so clean up your language
Why PODIATRY IS A PSEUDO-MEDICAL-TRADE AND NOT A MEDICAL PROFESSION: We’ve given you proof over the years and now here’s more irrefutable proof. Start with a fake specialist in FORENSICS, a course not standardized in foot schools and more of a PROFITABLE avocation. NON MD podiatrist Nirenberg owns the sophisticated business called “FRIENDLY FOOT CARE”! He’s so friendly he says he CONVICTED A MURDERER with his wtf certificate… Nice little business. Wonder how much MONEY Nirenberg makes. Gee, Stanley, I think I’ll specialize in Forensic and Pediatric Podiatry. What a great profession. How about famous Rocko Positano who works at… Read more »
Shit worms.
Isn’t that foot club an advertising and recruiting agency targeting overpriced Continuing Pojiatric fabulosity, and indoctrinating young marks…uh, potential new pods to eat? Isn’t that what con artists call “shill work” or “roping” (Citation: The Sting, Confidence, etc.” And then comes “the blowoff”—Sorry DPW you don’t have a seat at the table, you didn’t change, you didn’t comply with advices from sources governing education (LCME ABMS)– Nothing changes in the P other than modification of the expression: “Podiatry eats its young,” to “Podiatry eats itself, other podiatrists, and any willing sap to sign on the line” Consider a pod education… Read more »
The APMA is not worried. They’ve been making feces smell like roses for years. They’re the progeny of 20th century New York City Con men. Take a “slight of hand” with an audience of “country bumpkin” mentalities and you’re making money. Someone said, “there’s one born every minute”. WTF is the answer.
I can’t say I suppose apma but are we at their mercy as an advocate with government and other agencies?
Yes. Bc of chumps and other ignorant folks who blindly pay dues annually. It’s extortion and a bit of a criminal enterprise. They “advocate” for their wallets. And , They own your ass. Enjoy that “freedom”.
Thx flatus I never been member apma
Surprised that you can even spell APMA.
Thanks Paul for insult totally unnecessary
The correct version of your reply should be: Thanks for the insult Paul, it was totally unnecessary.
OR,
Dear Paul:
Your criticism of my use of the English language was unwarranted. However, I truly appreciate your input as I strive to learn English at a native, or near-native level.
Sincerely,
So what’s your response sir?
Congratulations Sybly!! You wrote a coherent statement with a capitalized letter at the start of the sentence, a properly placed apostrophe and the appropriate question mark at the end of the sentence. Bravo……well done. I think I’m going to buy a lottery ticket now!
Thank you
