Why are podiatrists so quick to acquire phony credentials ? In what manner is the touting of a falsified implication of competency of value ? “Forensic podiatry” ? Really ? “Peripheral nerve specialist” ? Honestly ? Fellow of ASPS ? An accomplishment ? ACLES ? Master of APWCA wound care ?
The list of phony boards and certifications in podiatry is endless. The attempted money grab by ABPM and it’s so called CAQ in surgery is just another phony credential in a profession which makes false representations it’s gold standard.
Why all the flap now ? In what manner are the Lee Rogers failed politicians “medical surgeons” more dangerous than the peripheral nerve surgeons curing diabetic neuropathy with nerve decompressions ? Or the fellows in Louie DeCaro’s pediatric club foisting quack pediatric orthotics to treat contrived foot types. Or Michael Graham “master surgeons” treating everyone with stents in the sinus tarsi.
We can go on endlessly …………….
It is akin to the opening of the second act of Phantom of the Opera. Masquerade. Everyone wearing a mask and costume. Pretending to be other than what they are.
Perhaps it starts when you say you went to “medical school”. Or when you stopped being a podiatrist and underwent a metamorphosis to a “foot and ankle surgeon”. Or when you come to believe that you have an equivalent education to an M.D. or D.O. At some point, accepting a new but false reality takes hold. Next thing you know, that piece of certification paper, worthless in terms of earned value, becomes your claim to credibility.
Worse yet, through some profession wide aberration of cognitive function, you come to believe in your now certified competence.
CAQ in surgery for those who cannot qualify for or pass the ABFAS examination ? Why not ! It’s just another brick in the outhouse wall.

Sounds like organized podiatry’s short term objectives and long term goals. NO question !
Question for the podiatric dermatoscopist, a mycotic toenail might be thick, brittle, discolored, with subungual debris present- however, there may be further ways to test for onychomycosis. To test for onychomycosis, suggest finding a laboratory that performs Alcian blue stains. Which one? Furthermore, the feet could be checked with a dermatoscope to see if there is a waspy pigmentation present with Tinea negra. Several podiatricians favorite dermatoscope is the Dermlite 4. Why is this so? Any draw backs? How do your reports stand up to a dermatopathology, or dermatologist, in court, for payment, insurance, etc… Any refereed research is also… Read more »
You missed one point that I remember Dr. Marghoob taught me that is also in the Atlas of Dermoscopy. This is not a contest of what is better a dermatoscopic image vs a biopsy. Both are needed to provide the most relavent information to Make better decisions resulting in better podiatric outcomes. By the way Tinea Nigra is of interest to physicians outside the U.S. since it’s rare. Dermoscopy is not as awesome as videoscopy Regarding capillary analysis. Yet it is more portable And of use in capillary analysis under the toenail folds. Downside is dermoscopy is not separatly reimbursable,… Read more »
Yeah, sure they are.
Wrong! Biopsy supplants everything else. Dermoscopy is NOT REIMBURSABLE BECAUSE INSURANCE CONSULTANTS (MD DERMATOLOGISTS) SAY IT’S NOT REALLY NECESSARY WHEN A BIOPSY IS THE REAL GOLD STANDARD. Too bad you couldn’t teach yourself derma pathologic MICROSCOPY and bill like a pathologist. But then again you only hold the most minimal of wtf certificates.

Delusion is a survival mechanism from trauma. In Chaskin’s case it’s the trauma that he was rejected from further education and rejected from moving to the states he wanted to escape to from New YAWK.

I have approximately 6 patients more successful cases of using dermatoscopic debridement and gentian violet solution ( to prevent fungal overgrowth) with Targeted antibiotic powder and offloadings of foot ulcers.)

Chaskin isn’t happy he’s been exposed. Now we know where the negatives are coming from.

STOP right now and repeat after me:
I earned it.
I deserve it.
I am worth it.
I will leave podiatry and stop supporting the scum bags that run it.
I will “re-invent” myself and learn from the misrepresentations of podiatry.
I will warn others about the fraudulent and toxic nature of podiatry.
I will breath fresh air and stop listening to verbal and written flatulence from lifers.
Good daily mantra

Sometimes you have to look at the obverse to find the truth. When you see an ostensible positive for podiatry look at the other side. Ex.

Yes “F”, you characterized the BAD half of podiatry correctly. The unfortunate point is that they make up the majority of political leaders and quack school administrators. Somehow it seems that “good men” eschew politics, but insecure narcissists gravitate towards it. A need for recognition to fill a void left by some familial social defect I suspect. The weakest defect in podiatry is the podiatrist. At LEAST HALF of the podiatric population (of 14,000) are not motivated for maximum medical mentation. They are satisfied with minimum academics but desire maximum MONEY. That half makes podiatry a dirty profession. The GOOD… Read more »

Hal Ornstean is the wizard of oz dude. He made a terrific living sticking his hand in pod’s wallets. That was his career. A professional pick pocket that moonlighted as a foot doctor. With a white lab coat and an American flag patch on the shoulder sleeve. Not only did he show his colors he got kicked out of the apma practice managment affiliate for stealing $$.
The American flag patch was to appeal to the veterans, police, etc. YET, another sales tactic to bring customers through his door. Another shyster. And of course, the “mile high” pody comment on some late nite chat show.

I encourage all readers to check out http://www.dermoscopy.coffeecup.com and decide for yourselves about the advantages of a podiatrist using Dermoscopy to provide additional information about structures and patterns invisible to the naked eye. Such information in many cases results in better informed decision making.
Sure you encourage it Dan. You want “hits” so you too can sell ads like Barry Block and get away from the bars on your windows and doors. Wow. 35 years in a place like that and you’re still working?
Yup, more clicks, hits on the site=$, revenue, adverts, exposure, etc. It does make one ponder- 35 (thirty-five) years of doing podiatry, and still working in such a great looking place? Maybe get some pizza, go to one the nitrate/nitrite cancer delis and enjoy some corned beef and hash. Then open up the bars on the door and go in and out THIRTY FIVE years. Why are there bars on those windows and door-must bc it’s in such a great area?
Minorities and the uneducated are podiatry’s bread and butter. Smart informed people go to MD’s unless they need toenail care.
Or marketing tactics for in home podiatry services through amateurish blogs, “social” network, and other nonsense to drive clicks and clacks for potential ad revenue—very blockish
Many podiatrists definitely need the counseling of an MD PSYCHIATRIST. But Barry Block’s psychiatrist only wants to curb your speech. Maybe Block solicited him to quiet down the PODIATRY POST. See, Block went for decades unopposed now that he is challenged, he doesn’t like that. So…. Psychiatrist LAZARUS raises from the grave to warn podiatrists to BE NICE. Don’t do anything abrasive. In other words, shut the F up and leave Chaskin and his type alone. Don’t say negative comments about shoe pictures with bones painted on them.

Congratulations to Mr. Garoufalis for winning something from Shlock, and Rosensplatt (formerly lifer banter from defunct podiatry forum) yammers vies for relevance by yammering about classical musak and buying lotsa real estate.
Doing podiatry appears to be quite limiting for a proper retirement. Daniel how long do you plan doing podiatry? You got what like 5, 10 year maybe, of good years left? Then what? Life revolving around medical appts and reading obits.
Get busy living, or get busy dying.
Mr Chaskins, please consider buying the collision center across the street. With all these car accidents involving podiatry offices, it may be a good investment for retirement. Give up podiatry and get insurance $ from car collisions. Those body shop guys get $1000 just to breath on the car.
Opinions only brother.
Those dirty (oil and grime) mechanics make more than dirty (morality) podiatric mechanics.
Yeah, he needs to win on top of the benes of being past prez. How much is enough?
The most important thing is to never turn down a patient who has no money or no insurance and needs to see me in the office. We all took an oath to help others. This is one reason I do house calls. My guess is that many podiatrists will agree.
Yet we have to first help ourselves by making sure that we have time for family friends, and enjoying life outside podiatry. Billy, the Pod, you are very wise.
“There are lifestyle factors that can lead to dry feet, regardless of what’s going on internally, too. Here, a few to note: Extra hot showers, low humidity, soap that contains harsh cleansing agents, and walking barefoot.”

“Physician Mortgage Loan Review: First National Bank of Omaha–Mortgage Program for Physicians.
By TRAVIS HORNSBY, CFA, CFP® – Updated JULY 8, 2022
MD, DO, DDS, DMD or DVM degrees may qualify for a physician mortgage loan with First National Bank of Omaha. Physician Assistant (PA), Nurse Practitioner (NP) and Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) also qualify.
Borrowers must have a minimum credit score of 720.

What do they call a board certified podiatrist? They don’t, they call ortho.
Podiatry caters to D students.
Ba dump ba! Eddy will be here all week. Try the veal.
Are there podiatrists with lifetime certificates that are ABFAS certified? If yes, what were the qualifications for them to be able to sit for this examination?
Fog a mirror, count to 3, present some cases from east west asstown hospital, and pay the fees. What else Mr Chaskin?
In the old days, before ABPS, you took a 2 day test for ACFAS. That is why they were grandfathered in. The old guys did not want to be subjected to double jeopardy as it were. It would never had passed otherwise. Apparently, you did neither.
So if there are some members of abfas who were grandfathered in who were not subjected to double Jeopardy, who never did major foot cases who could not because state licence prohibited this, then how is this a credential that can be trusted by the public if lifetime certificate holders were not mandated to take a
Pass fail exam. Is this very credential is being accepted by hospitals? Why?
The above represents personal opinions only.
Ask your good friend barry the propagandist, or jokseph the grifter who reads package inserts as he collects hundreds of thousands as a drug dealer (pharma salesman). You thought he should make $5 Million bc he’s “saving” all those limbs. Boy are you brainwashed and can’t thk critically Mr Chaskins. Keep wearing that mask on while taking a shower or driving alone.
Are you a D student?
Daniel # 1 posted that. I am Daniel #2.
res ipsa
“not mandated to take a Pass fail exam”. What does that silly sentence mean in English Mr. Chaskin?
This means that a life time certificate holder does not have to take a pass fail exam to recertify after approximately 10 years. A younger non lifetime certificate holder must complete steps that lifetime holders do not have to complete to maintain their board certification. This is generally true of some podiatry as well as medical boards that certify practitioners.
Daniel, perhaps it’s time to flick the switch, shut off the lights of podiatry. Do some singing, stare at cows, talk to cows, sing about cats, sing NO songs about podlietry please. It’s disgusting. The field of podlietry is vile.
On a completely different subject …………. does anyone know if Barry Block ever passed the NY bar ?
If so, why did he never practice law ?
Look him up in the NY bar association regulators. If he isn’t listed, then that will speak volumes
Here ‘s qualifications (personal opinions only Danny Boy):
Write to Shylock’s propaganda “news” blast.
Ask the question to sad gallery of irrelevant, retired, boomer-minded morons who practiced during the glory hay days of podlietry.
Then stare at some barry’s silly shoe pics, and get off for that much need stress relief due to the scamdemic.
Then say:: aaahh.
Eventually those “qualifications” will come to you.
No
Robert—He never passed or took the NY bar? IF that’s the case, why does he call himself a lawyer? He’s just some ny hustler schmo who attended fourth rate, everyone accepted nite type school to play pretend— the foot version of the movie- my couzin vinny.
My No was misplaced away from where I wanted to leave a reply. It was an answer directed to Mr. Chaskin. My only interest in Block is exposing him for the DAMAGE HE’S BEEN DOING TO PODIATRY BY MAKING IT APPEAR PODIATRY IS MORE THAN IT IS, HOW HE BANS AND CENSORS OPINIONS NOT CONGRUENT WITH THE PODIATRIC PARTY LINE, AND TO EXPOSE HIS CLOSE ASSOCIATION (FINANCIAL AND PERSONAL) WITH THE “LIFER CLASS”. I DO NOT RESPECT BARRY BLOCK’S MORALITY. He puts JD after his name but as far as license, don’t know, don’t care. All I know is HE… Read more »
Daniel—There is No real certification in that quack pody field. It’s to play pretend and just a likes /sorta like MD games. Bring that loot in, the deans and other salesmen clowns in the foot circus need another vacation house. Why the f do you keep asking lifers on barrysters immoral, propaganda -wallet lining site questions?! Also, That lab coated smiling selfie in front of clownish Dp wtf certificates is cringe. Retire , it’s time. 35+ years in that slum and you’re wondering about « virtual » nonsense?! How about an educational seminar on psychosis—loss of contact with reality? What the f… Read more »
Show Chaskin’s picture, a picture of his slum-barred office, and HIS BIG “podiatrist” SIGN to potential students and see if they want to be a NON md. after 7 years, a quarter of a million in debt, and a life time of fighting with MD’s, insurance companies, and worst of all the selfish, deluded, narcissistic lifers who want you OUT of the competition for the FEW FOOT DOLLARS OUT THERE.
Full disclosure would include not the location of a practice, but the quality of care a podiatrist is giving and if the patients are pleased with their results, and if there has been a history of never being sued after more than 35 years of practice. http://www.dermoscopy.coffeecup.com Click the power point presentation on dermatoscopic wound care a term I thought of.
