This is a great tweet thread about Family Practices in this country
1/ This thread will be alarming, I'm sorry.

The American Academy of Family Practice CEO is crying out about the financial crisis threatening frontline primary care practices, but no one seems to be listening
I'll give you some news from those frontlines (and ask for your help) https://t.co/DTS0GUETIu
Podiatrists are in worse shape but not a single tweet, thread or message from the APMA. This is an issue. Podiatrists without large cash reserves will not be able to survive.


Yes. I challenged her and pointed out facts about blood transfusions she couldn’t dream of. ( I worked hands on cross matching and antibody testing for blood products as well as Rho Gam antibodies to obviate erythroblastosis fetalis for 7 years). I also referenced the latest rapid blood culture techniques that she was clueless about. ALAN SHERMAN BANNED ME and the QUACK SCHOOL MADE HER DEAN! Think something is wrong with podiatry education? A chain is a strong as its weakest link and twadt’s have a lot of weak links.
Robert, did she really say that? Transfusions? Septicemia? Insulin? Wow.
Yeah, Satterfeld was telling me how she treats septicemia and orders blood transfusions! With a TWADT certificate? What state is that in? Of course Alan Sherman banned me because the lie was better for the wtf image than the truth. You can see how Sherman makes a living SELLING LECTURES. He didn’t care about the truth. He was protecting HIS BUSINESS. How sick are you to want to be a DOCTOR so badly that you’ll lie and invent stories to make you NOT LOOK LIKE A PODIATRIST WITH A TECHNICIANS CERTIFICATE? It would be immoral not to point this out… Read more »
Lies equal paychecks. Maybe they can all get bullshit SBA loans and enjoy a very special servitude…..3.99%. Also, there are some shithouse banks they may perhaps maybe potentially lend them 5k….for 2.99%. Wow. Wee. Maybe they can recarpet. Shitfields office from all the verbal diarrhea. That 5k loan may help.
Who the fuck would take out a loan in this fake economy? Barely 2 weeks in and they’re all shitting their pants? Guess it was fake and fraud? Bad bad advice. Invest in N95
Americans/dp wtfs were people who lived in Skinner boxes of their own making. Their “Life” was very hard bc basic life necessities were seen as something to be earned. Onward and downward.
In the movie ‘YENTL’, with Barbara Streisand, there is a scene where students of the TALMUD are questioning each other and questioning the questioning. A very intellectual depiction of sharpening the mind and looking at all the possibilities. Sometimes, NOT ASKING A QUESTION OR MAKING A STATEMENT IS AS SIGNIFICANT AS ASKING OR STATING IT. EX. Is this AMORAL? A person (you don’t particularly care for) is on the street with a semi barreling down on him and he doesn’t see it. Is it immoral (murder?) if you see his imminent demise and you DON’T CALL OUT AND WARN HIM?… Read more »
It’s impossible for an American to understand something when their livelihood is based on them Not understanding something-John Steinbeck
Saddenfeld the carpet bagger klown at klown skool told Robert to puke to get out all his anger (“anger” in her ducked up world is truth). Robert was /is spot on Sadden the carnival barker salesman for stupe dents
Yes, she said that too. When you can’t argue rationally and truthfull you can only attack ad hominim. It’s an old podiatric ploy used by Lifers to shut the truth down. Ask “anything for a buck barry block”. When he started receving secret phone calls from the lifer cult that threatened his money stream he banned me. Both Block and Sherman have money motives. MONEY VS. TRUTH? Which way do you think podiatry goes? PODIATRY IS A DIRTY PROFESSION AT ITS POLITICAL CORE AND THESE BAD MEN CLING TO POWER LIKE AN OCTOPUS ON A CRAB. I can’t respect a… Read more »
Barry Block and podiatry will GO RIGHT BACK TO MISLEADING (LIEING) ABOUT PODIATRY as soon as THE TIDE OF TRUTH EBBS past podiatry. Like the CON men they are, they’ll rely on the short memory and DISPAIR of Medical School Rejects who are the tinder for the “TWADT’S.” Block has made a good living off of podiatry and won’t readily let that racket go. Along with the fake societies and other well known podiatric fluff, the ember of podiatric fraud will re-ignite. Calls for a new Quack school. Stories of what TWADTS did during the pandemic (sock drives, handing water… Read more »
Get ready for many dp wtfs to pat themselves on the back with bullshit self congratulatory articles for their “help” with Tom Hanks Disease. This will likely occur after the “worst” of the hyped flu. Other than donating themselves as a real med school cadaver, what purpose did the dp wtf really serve?
As soon as I saw the bearded guy with a STETHOSCOPE AROUND HIS NECK I KNEW IT WAS A TYPICAL PODIATRIC LIE. AN ADVERTISEMENT TO GET BUSINESS IN THE 9 SCHOOL “FRANCHISES” who NEED TO ADVERTISE TO GET CUSTOMERS STUDENT LOAN MONEY. Note how quick they throw out the word SURGERY , O.R.. Didn’t read that you have to kiss ass to get even a mediocre program and THAT HALF FLUNK AND END UP WITH A USELESS “MEDICINE”(HA!) CERTIFICATE. PODIATRY IS STILL CHIROPODY. Touching an ankle (in some states) doesn’t even make you a PA. It’s perspective. When you’re a… Read more »
Disgusting. They also used the word: “physician” to mislead and lure the stupid into the podiatry thing. they’re looking for high school students and younger to be future lackies. Money was their God
cmon APMA step up and help! Appoint a dremel,orthotic and laser Czar!
Will the assholes in CONgress offer bail outs to dremmel drill/clipper/ nipper, and orthodic salesmen? Or just corporate welfare?
You gave me a great idea! Dremel needs a face, and I’m gonna do it! “If it’s good enough for podiatrists, it’s good enough for the rest of you gutter surfers!”. Grind down a toenail, then bore a hole for a door lock. If it’s Dremel, it does it all!
I.D. Corona? you need to do PCR of the codons. treat Corona? you need to infuse antibodies of a previously infected or sensitized patient. Alternates? Hydroquinone + Azithromycin. Who determines adequate blood levels of medications? Who does electrophoresis to ID antibodies? Who does serologic agglutination tests? Who does the genetic decoding? Who discovers, develops, tests, and runs the ‘TESTS’ ( for Corona, et. al.)? Who are the critical need providers with SCIENTIFIC (no quactographs allowed) Quality Control experience? These are your clinical laboratory scientist. (older term MEDICAL TECHNOLOGISTS) The TV is asking for retired DOCTORS, NURSES, PHARMACISTS, LAB SCIENTISTS, along… Read more »
Paid for it
Actually, loose the doctoral and you have “T.W.A.T.”. Rolls off the tongue much nicer…
Let’s see: only @1wk of no mo and they’re already shitting their irregular pants. Didn’t you listen to guru sukie Ormans about the 8 mo savings plan? Podys were silly. 2009: 13000 us US dead from swine flu and 61,000,000 Americans infected, 1/5. Where was all that angst and gas mask wearing joke media? Crickets. Fakers and grifters. Should I close should I open should I defecate should I masturbate? Which spepghetti sauce is good which canned soup is cheap? How much milk can i buy? So much for that Dp WTF mind to “think” about! Guess that high faluting… Read more »
Robert, Eddy et al. What do you think about this?. Step into dung?
https://www.stepintopodiatry.com/
Watch the video. Read the ‘testimonials’ —-wtf?
This testimonial needed editing: “I shadowed a podiatrist a smelly old fart. After one day seeing such magic-he turned nails into dust and made shoe inserts and there were happy patients, I had a solid D GPA and sent in my podiatry school application because if I agreed to some non #metoo moments he wrote a letter of recommendation.”
Step into it.
Wow, all the shysters are into it- APMA, AACPM, ABPM, et al. It’s a full-court press kids, one last desperate attempt at gold mining. Those idiots probably know they have nowhere else to go like the rest of us. Gotta make bank while they can. Trolling for high school students??! Sad. Lame. Disgusting.
Step into debt slavery!
EDDY, You asked, Where have all the P folks gone? Where have all the soldiers gone, gone to graveyards everyone, where have all the graveyards gone…. gone to flowers every one. When will they ever learn… when will they ever learn?
No. They will never learn. It was part of their charm. Gore Vidal
Charming pods—Where have they gone? Who knows but when they’re gone, they’re gone for good. Another Vidal phrase ‘gone for good.”
It’s really funny watching dolts begging for help when just a month ago they were all “livin the life” driving lux cars, 3 tvs, big house, screaming at the idiot box at millionaire thug drug addicts throwing balls, you get the draft—-guess it was a show. Illegals getting free this free that and us getting nothing. It was a show, an act for the neighbors, freinds, family? Borrowed money and living pay check to paycheck. Great “life”. Keep doing “medicine”, “podiatry” whatever. All shit. You’re just a customer/consumer. We’re all marks. Keep buying keep wanting crap to fill your box.… Read more »
Family Practice is tedious, boring, and poorly reimbursed – Maybe that’s why a lot FM folks get on an HMO panel (xyz USD/mo) to clean earwax, look at sore throats, and treat and street. AT LEAST podiatry has some action—FM/FP guys(gals) are bored, frustrated, and avoid Zebras…Surgery still has its thrills, but it’s a perishable skill set—PLUS FP folks are held to higher standards and get popped often for missed Dx. Not a desirable thing to do. You don’t get the: “I’m just a simple podiatrist and never learned that stuff,” as in listening to lungs and hearts and all… Read more »
Who the fuck would do health care in the US? Come on. Metris, schmetrics, coding galore, computer mumbo jumbos, lawsuits, audits, lawsuits, lazy incompetent workers, PC nonsense, etc..etc..fuck it. Screw it. Zebra fish.
MACRA and MIPS, it gives me the shits…
Not Jeff Lehremann. He a James Kristina do each other up the ass after they shit. They are in love with each other. He wants Kristina’s job when he retires.
Obshitforbrains gives us all the shits.
HE COVID 19 CRISIS WON’T STOP BARRY BLOCK FOR MAKING A BUCK. He has Nothing really worth reporting but he has money to make. Arch support ads for $65 bucks so you can quadruple your return and WTF: ORTHOTIC TELEMED! Can you think of anything more ludicris or un necessary? Arch support biomechanics are a scam No not biomechanics but arch support biomechanics and “alleged “measurements”. Totally inaccurate and results totally within placebo or Good Feet Store results. ORTHOTICS WERE NOTHING BUT A PRODUCT FOR THE FOOT TECHS TO SELL. That’s why little to no insurance companies recognize orthotic biomechanics… Read more »
Tom Hanks Disease won’t stop Harry from his lust of money.
Fantastic news. Maybe these assholes will live within their real means.
Means means a slow pace on the HAMSTER WHEEL – pace yourself, brace yourself, and floss—Dental implants set you back more than a new Ritter. How many folks have gone to a dentist lately? NOW THAT is a gambit–
Dentists= Used care dealers/upsellers.
The average Podiatry practice will not survive corona and wont survive the healthcare changes coming. Private practice in Podiatry is almost dead, by 2023 there will be none. Doesnt matter, no one applying to Podiatry school anyways. all this a moot point. Podiatry does not offer anything that a full license health care provider cant do. DPM limited license has killed podiatry but dont tell the reconstructive foot and ankle surgeons that.
Good. Darwinism at work. Next stop: realtors
Bail out for fraudsters like podiatry schools?!
In the year 2023, if pods are still alive, all they gotta do is skive skive, skive. Take trip, don’t slip, brace your balance and learn to skip—skip the whole healthcare world—The deck is stacked…Unstack it by only playing poker with a Tarot deck. The time will come when unscrupulous pods will be able to stop putting mayonnaise on the corners of toenails to justify—to their Ambien laced minds—that it’s cool. Hey, where is Danish4me? Where’d all the p folks go?
