So a tradition unlike any other is that Barry Block and the PM News likes to report on any Podiatrist that has passed gas in the last year. He “borrows” the stories from local newspapers and local TV channels and then puts them on his newsletter for content. While you have may have noticed the proliferation of these stories has decreased in the last year or two. So the question must be asked are Podiatrists behaving better? Is Barry using more editorial discretion?
Actually it is probably neither of those. The reason that there are not as many stories about Podiatrists behaving badly, is due to the cuts in local news and newspapers. Less reporters = less stories on Podiatrists behaving badly. So no. Podiatrists are probably behaving the same they always have and Barry still is making the same editorial decisions but extraneous factors have caused these conditions to correct themselves.
Where do they learn these tricks? How do you turn an ingrown toenail into a $500 arch support sale? Well, you say that pronation causes you to roll on your toenail making it ingrown and a “custom” (ahem) orthotic will stop the roll and, Voila, no ingrown toenail. Kaching! Well, it takes a real RUBE GOLDBERG type of biomechquactic lying to make that sale with a straight face. Can you be serious when podiatrist Weil alleges that “cleats” cause Severe’s disease and he’d like to see cleat use decreased. He says “he has success with ORTHOTICS in these kids”. I’ll… Read more »
Rube Goldberg!.100% spot on. Excellent reference R.
Here’s a simple equation for every Dp wtf: XYZ “success” is directly proportional to the inflation of one’s bank account. Hustlers, hucksters, grifters all in debt clamoring for the next scam or fear ‘porn’ to generate sales.
Believing that Batty Block is giving you a representative picture of podiatry is like believing CNN AND NPR are giving you a representative picture of America. I think most thinkers that are not in the LIFER LINE have given up posting in Block’s perverted shoe news. Knowing you’ll be banned, censored, or derided in order to preserve podiatry “as is” (CHIROPODIATRY) has turned podiatrists here to “The Podiatry Post”. “The Podiatry Post” appears to be the only venue that allows “alternative views and criticism” to the controllers and ‘crooks’ that thrive in “old time podiatry”. Block represents the insiders who… Read more »
Think of podiatrypost like the UNZ report. A provocative alternative to mainstream “news” propaganda and endless spin to sell advertizing space and increase share holder profits.
However, the truth doesn’t yield to that hustle. It doesn’t matter jack shit if it’s right, left, or center-the truth is the truth.
Some of the credit should go to covid. It has kept podiatrists from going to “poor ” South American countries to cripple and maim innocent people. Credit covid for virtual seminars keeping the grifters and shysters away from the lemming podiatrists. Credit covid with keeping “lifers” out of their strip mall offices and away from minorities and immigrants. Credit covid that made insurance companies realize podiatry is as necessary as chiropractic.
Nice Archer but hope for pods. Majority (56percent) of adult Americans read at 6th grade level and 21percent are either illiterate or functionally illiterate.This is quote from Library Journal.April 29,2030. So podiatry has hope! Sic
That’s the truth Sybly.
Most us-ians were dumber than stale dog shit, and that explains why the us empire failed. It is now simply circling the drain while they rearrange deck chairs on the Titanic. Rather than last chapters of hope and delusional Yankee Doodily dipshit action plans. The only real movement, will be a bowel movement while wearing at least 3 masks while 10 feet away from your nearest us-ian.
What’s armpit gonna do now? More video CONferencing with sardonic smiling?
