This is big news, and will allow more freedom for Podiatrists in unhealthy situations. This will also be bad news for big groups that get Podiatrists in bad contracts. Serious issues to come for many Podiatrists.

Today Block’s “make podiatry look good” business has podiatrist GILBERTSON of AZ. talking about feet and overall health. Well, seeing podiatrists are forbidden by LAW to deal with OVERALL health one needs to ask what is his standing here? Oh, I see. He’s advertising his business. It is a business because he calls it “RENEW” Foot and ankle. Most Medical Doctors just have their name and M.D. after it. One pod sheepishly asks about the global period after toe removal. Can I bill for suture removal? He says he doesn’t feel comfortable. (yet hopefully looks for a positive answer) With… Read more »
It’s mid 2021.
What dumbfuck (with the intranet and truth 2- 3 clicks away) would go to undergrad, podiatrickal “school” for a minimum of 11 years including fake “residency”, take on at least 300K+ in stupedent loan debt and NEEDS to ask permission from an MD (who has a minimum of 11 years too and similar debts) !!?? That’s a dumbfuck. Danny Boy any thoughts?
It just doesn’t make any sense to anyone with an IQ >75.
Shylock’s “news” was just like MSM “news”–all a bad joke. Psy ops, propaganda, corprate-state run garbage, and narratives that they’re pushing on the dolts. Operation Mockingbird. Operation Footberg.
In BM ‘news” we see jr lifer Wensimp (soy boy) cucking for the podiatry girl who’s hair conveniently hid that dp wtf triad? Please Wensimp spend more than $7 for a hair cut-it’s like you’ve never left the boat.
Yeah you’re right, huh? I’M a malcontent??!! Let me PROVE AGAIN my position that PODIATRY IS A TECHNICIAN FIELD NOT A MEDICAL FIELD. Not that I and others haven’t done this multiple times before so how about one more time? EX. a mechanic vs. an engineer will make the point. If a car is running wobbly the mechanic will balance the tires. An engineer will muse, perhaps its the alignment or the frame bent etc. etc. A PODIATRIC TECHNICIAN will ask WHAT KIND OF BUNION SHOULD I DO on this diabetic? (PM news) (He can’t wait to ring that cash… Read more »
You are NOT a “malcontent”. You are truth teller Roberto. An honest man, a sage, balls to tell the truth– without a “dog in the fight”. You have no monetary gain, personal nor professional gain. Simply, helping warn, educate, and enlighten idiots, dolts, and dipshits who would even consider doing podupetry.
Yeah, I don’t want my epitaph (and that’s getting close at my age) to read, he was part of a fraudulent field. Admit you’re a technician with an undeserved title….or get REAL! I can’t abide by the lie of, “just like any other specialist” when we’re not even ‘just like’ a P.A.. You know, I just thought. The half that got the ACFAS can find one last crumb of one upsmanship (if even that) over the P.A. with their limited, minor surgery, but all those with only the ABPM are truly WAAAY less than a P.A.. What a waste that… Read more »
Perhaps it’s none of my business but it seems there has been a noticeable delay in posting commentaries. Some post don’t show for days. With Barry Block incessantly propagandizing and hurting podiatry, an efficient counter is necessary. I understand there are complexities needed that I probably can’t discern to keep a site going but I suspect posters here would consider assisting in some way to assure continued opposition to Barry Block’s misrepresentation of the TRUE STATUS OF PODIATRY. Is “moderating” really necessary? I thought moderation and editing makes one RESPONSIBLE for content as opposed to just providing a non moderated… Read more »
There’s an ass for every seat!-PT Barnum
Yeah, ho hum podiatry enjoys 0 inertia and infinite mediocrity. Another FAKE PLAQUE AWARD is ADVERTISED FOR “CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PROFESSION”. USELESS, MEANINGLESS except for an excuse to advertise. Just enough plaques to maintain attention, but NO REAL VALUE TO PATIENTS. ONE Foot tech spews useless info that “rolling ankles are not normal for old people”. Did it take a lot of biomechquactics to learn that? The pod says he’ll “tighten up” your loose ankle. Talk about ELECTIVE! I won’t even go into to the dy/dx of systemic causes, but pods don’t think deeply… just mechanically. Hey, did you know… Read more »
“…Another FAKE PLAQUE AWARD is ADVERTISED FOR “CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PROFESSION. USELESS, MEANINGLESS”….not to Danny Boy and Co.
They need these dollar store certificates to help sate their “lives”, it gave meaning and help them lift their heads from the pillows each morning. Useless eaters.
Really doesn’t matter. PA’s, nurses, any MD can do podiatry. How about nail salons, shoe stores, Dr. Scholls kiosks. They all do podiatry. These poor foot techs who endenture themselves for a few bucks and a hope for some kind of future, just to do chiropody are also redundant. So they can go clip nails somewhere else? Podiatry as it is practiced in the majority today requires one maybe two 3 year technical schools. Residencies? Please spare me the bull s. rhetoric.
Yeah, pods just don’t realize that trauma rarely occurs JUST BY ITSELF. You need a “jack of all trades” (the whole body MD) to treat most conditions. Quick, call the foot technician. The injury falls “within the lines” of his “scope”. Let the MD rest for the big stuff. His HELPER can do the small stuff. That’s what TECHNICIANS are for.
Ban this ban that . Fuck it. It’s your life. Why let the fraudulent govt rule your shitty life?
Why let the APMA and your LOCAL EGOTISTICAL PODIATRIC POLITICIANS rule and make your fecal life? Podiatrists just TAKE what their given. They’re too mediocre to demand more. Easily herded. Pay those dues. Sit quietly in the folding chair and listen to what they say THEY’RE doing and WHAT IT WILL COST YOU. The tenacity of TECHNICIANS.
Theyre below techs. Theyre delusional. At least techs know theyre techs. They are who they are. podies thk theyre physicians and surgeons. Perhaps it was from spending 200-300,000+ on a no name useless “degree” and being lied to endlessly that they actually thk theyre doctors….it was sad.
Yeah, that “non compete” scam was another, “right out of New Yawk City” idea. It was born from BUSINESSMEN and was a natural extension into the FOOT BUSINESS. Those old pods who hung on to their practice ” a little too long” now need to worry about the young guy “opening up across the street”. A Pod practice is worth next to zilch. Make the old guy nervous. Open across from him, advertise, coupon, and offer “knifeless surgery” with lasers. That’s the podiatry way. BUSINESS is cut throat. And you thought that 3 year made you medical?!
100% it’s a hu$tler tactic to limit competition. Assholes. F these new yaaaker types–shysters all. A business enterprise masquerading as a “health” profession. It was always abt $. That’s it. What’s in it for me–right Shlock? Go line the coffin with all that geld -asshat
Excellent summary of podiatry, “PLASTIC”: “a business masquerading as a “health” profession. Are you getting that students and POTENTIAL students.?…………..IT’S A BUSINESS TRADE SCHOOL, NOT A MEDICAL SCHOOL! Remember the movie ‘SOLYENT GREEN’ when they realize what the food was they were eating …”IT’S PEOPLE”! Yeah, ‘IT’S…… BUSINESS’!
