I would bet Barry Block a million dollars that Paul Kesselman was involved in this audit. For a fee of course. Let me re-state ………for a big big big fee Dr. Kesselman was involved in this Medicare audit. And he probably promised Dia-Foot a victory. Will Dr. Kesselman announce to the readers of PM News, THAT HE LOST THE AUDIT ? Of course not. How will Dr. Kesselman bounce back after LOSING this audit ? The NYSPMA clinical meeting is canceled for this year. Dr. Kesselman was planning to walk the show floor (side by side with Barry) and hustle… Read more »

You are “spot on” with your assessment of Paul Kestleman. I use to attend the NY show every year. I would always see Dr. Kestleman hustling the exhibitors explaining how he can grow their business. Whether he really is of any value to a company I honestly do not know.

Podiatry is a business masquerading as heath prof

REAL DOCTORS don’t have to sell themselves or products. Podiatrists are not actual DOCTORS. There is too much mercantilism left from early Chiropodiatry separating podiatry from a pure medical profession.

How do you explain for profit capitalistic regimes, insurance companies that control medicine and “health” “care” in the US empire. Are they not businesses / mercantilism, and you support them.

You just don’t get it Fentoon. Insurance companies ARE BUSINESSES, even the so called Non Profits. How do you explain ‘for profit’ capitalistic regimes? Like this: THEY ARE FOR PROFIT! That’s the NATURE OF CAPITALISM! Your question is the answer. MERCANTILISM? Ever hear of the term mercantile? How about the MERCANTILE DISTRICT IN NY CITY? IT’S BUSINESS! Don’t like Capitalism? Go to Venezuela, Russia or China and give it a go. Saying insurance companies control medicine is like saying supermarkets MAKE YOU FAT. You can close your pie hole and you can choose not to be seduced by money. The… Read more »

The US empire (medicine) IS/was a business. We’re now re-arranging deckchairs on the SS Titanic and fishing in a sewer. Yes, medicine in the US state is owned by insurance companies many of whom are publically traded and ONLY care about profit. That’s “true” capitalistic regimes like the US and it’s ” great.” Folks can get rich and profiteering off of the sick and the infirm. Your response is typical of someone indoctrinated and brainwashed. Exploitation, greed, manufacturing consent, and hoarding cash are not “negative” aspects of capitalism–they are essential features of it. You sound like Daniel. Both of you… Read more »

Boy, do you miss points easily. I wrote about how medicine WAS and how insurance perverted its history. I stated medicine should be an altruistic religious-type calling. That’s NOT BUSINESS!. Just how am I indoctrinated and brainwashed? I fight AGAINST LIARS, PRACTICE MANAGEMENT CROOKS AND DIRTY LYING PODIATRY. With each of your commentaries you reference me as “working in my 70’s”. I stopped active practice in 1993! I’ve maintained a license because “it makes me feel connected somehow”. It’s just a personal thing. I don’t maintain a license because I’m financially insecure. I like the idea I access to antibiotics,… Read more »

You and Daniel are the same. Both want to make podiatry great again. Still believe and still hopeful. Indoctrinated.

Hey Marilyn, Did Barry Block ban Robert from posting on PM News ? I think Barry Block should be banned as an editor. Barry really sucks as an editor.

I think Robert was banned from expressing his viewpoints bc he shed light on things that BM news was not interested in. BM news only cares about profit (selling advertising space) and painting a rosy picture about podiatry and its’ political organizations. In sum, they’re scum

Furthermore, they sold OTC TYPE GENERIC SUPPORTS AS CUSTOM. SO MUCH FOR BIOMECHQUACTICS! And the stupid podiatrists didn’t know any better either (and probably didn’t care) as long as they got in on the “action”. When I think of ALL THE PODIATRISTS who claim biomechquatic sovereignty but dispense OTC , foam box, quacktograph, or other quack techniques, perhaps THEIR OFFICE STAFF can get in on the “Whistle Blower” reward percentage of the fraud and turn their “podiatrist” in for fraud too. It’s common practice. I feel it’s the same with the order: lab determines mold from cast. No quactics just… Read more »

How many degree of rearfoot varus will it take for podiatry to wake the bleep up?

Shoes are fraud. Orthotics are a fraud. Those that SELL THEM are Frauds….and certainly NOT Doctors. Why is podiatry always associated with scams and schemes involving Sheckles? Clean up this DIRTY PROFESSION!

I would like to know how many orthotic labs do the same thing. Hard to imagine with all the precise measurements we take and even after we “scan” the foot with our phones.

Precise measurements? Don’t tell that to a real engineer or physicist. Podiatric measurements are part ACTING AND PERFORMANCE. It’s all part of that original NEW YORK CITY CON where humans packed liked sardines feed off the suckers.

Did Dr. Paul Kestleham lose this case ? I’ll bet he did. Will Dr. Kestleham show integrity and write to PM News saying he lost this case ? I’ll bet not.
