The Florida Podiatry Society Sales and Marketing meeting (SAM) did indeed give those attending last week something for their money. That is Covid-19. Numerous exhibitors and attendees developed Covid infections following the meeting.
Needless to say, Barry Block, the editor of PM News will never let you know. However, the facts are the facts. He (anything for a buck Barry) never told you about the USMLE rejection of podiatry students. He also won’t tell you about the Covid outbreak with the Florida SAM meeting.
He won’t discuss the pathetic state of the Present “Treasure Hunt” seminar (treasure meaning that Presents has the treasure). What a sad state of podiatry affairs. The presenters were all selected by the Los Angeles County Podiatry Association.
Here is the line-up for the practice management lectures and the subject matters which they will be discussing.
a) Paul Kesselman: How to submit a veruy tall AFO for L1971 PDAC approval and how I told my client he can substitute a short AFO that was not PDAC approved and be dishonest with podiatrists. How I forget to write into PM News and tell my colleagues I was involved in the audit which DIA-FOOT lost and will pay back 5 million dollars.
b) Jeffrey Lehrman: Why I was unsuccessful in private practice, spending 100 % of my time doing TCC in a wound care center. How I bettered myself by going into consulting, specializing in coding and moving to Colorado, learned how to excel in kissing ass and climbing the APMA corporate ladder.
c) Alan Bass: Why Modernizing Medicine is your best choice of software for Podiatry and EHR. After all, I hung around Jeffrey Frederick and John Guiliana for years and want to be the success they are. I know biomechanics …………….. Powersteps are the very best for every patient. Get rid of your present orthotic lab. Powersteps has a light box to do your custom orthotics for the 15% of your patients that need custom. I know better than Les Appel.
d) Bret Ribotsky: Why I married an MD Dermatologist. I was able to have an easy life. The wife’s income supported the family. After suing the coast guard, I was able to go into immediate retirement.


Case studies in delusions, denials, and deceptions.

Only podiatry take you’re wallet and your health…
As in Hal Ornstein !!
Are you certain the Ribeye was MARRIED to the dermatologist ? I didn’t think he was. I have been reading the be nice to each other diatribes in PM. All the hucksters are writing in for Barry. No insults please they write. Be niceties each other they write. Be respectful they write. That’s nice. Hucksters worried about propriety. Followed by an ad for a free CME on, you got it, fungus tonsils. Presents presenting Warren the FIDSA man. And a presentation by John Mooreon. Think about it. Look at the PM regulars. What a collection of bullshit artists and hustlers.… Read more »
Predictable cliche and normie “advice” from lifers. “”Professionalism”=being a lackey, suppressing one’s true feelings, grit your teeth, align their thoughts with yours, and don’t discuss reality. Be a ‘team player.’ Don’t question those ‘masters’ and ‘leaders’. Don’t ever question the dominant narrative…ever….let’s have our propagandized lackeys all write into that marketing rag and comment about being ‘professional’ =liar, fraud, fake, grifters, sycophants, artificial, inauthentic, low pitched sounding charactor actors: some enjoy eating pasta and some enjoy lighting a menorah. Doesn’t matter. They are hustlers and hucksters galore. State the truth and you’re gonzo. Is that ‘professional’?! Look what they did… Read more »
Yeah, one quack said cut the power cord and throw the X-ray in a dumpster! Typical STUPID POD ADVICE. Some dirty pod will fish it out, spend a few bucks for a new cord, and start billing 73660 all over the place….. R.A.D.’S be dammed.
As if they can’t simply get an electrician and get a new cord?! Why are Dp wtfs so bleeping stupid?
Because the admissions committees look for potential FUTURE SALESMAN FOR THE TRADE SCHOOL SEATS IN THE QUACK COLLEGES.
Tuition driven. They need those student loans to keep the doors open and empty promises ‘alive’. Remember the schools can generally sell you the dream, There is NO promise of a real job. None. Just a dream, a someday maybe. The schools know this as you sign your fkg life away. BTW: can Daniel get any more stupid. It’s as if he can’t do a better job of being a simp/dolt/simpleton. A great Dp wtf. What’s next for that imbecile to write in: my feet smell, what shoulda I do?
See it for what it is. Deriding so called insults is really a form OF CENSORSHIP while using the soft euphemism, insult. When they say it, it’s the truth. When others say it it’s an insult. Twisting and censoring words for ones own benefit is the sign of an insecure DIRTY PROFESSION.
Jokeseph, the infectious dx expert to the stars,,,,some singing pod Danny thinks he should be paid $5 mill bc he saves those limbs and helps with salvations
At best, a pod will refer to an M.D. to save a limb. At typical, he/she will deb RIDE it till the insurance runs out. The only saving a pod does is in his BANK ACCOUNT. Right Barry Block?
LOL. That’s a good one Robert, the only saving is the savings in the BANK ACCOUNT. Yup. 100% spot on. Shysters all.
What a life. Marry /cohabitate with a real doctor, they pay your way, and then have a suit to enjoy that retirement .
Is that Bret Ribotsky ? His wife or girlfriend was a dermatologist. I believe she recently passed away. Who did he sue after his boat accident ? Why ? Coast guard makes no sense.
Please also include pink shirt yoko ono glasses sparerib getting calcanei operated on by an MD orthopod NOT dp wtfs.
………And he never told you about Roy De Francis (past NYS president) arrested for stealing Covid Vaccines either!. While podiatrist SHERMAN (another weasel in my opinion) calls for pods to not disagree, HE IS THE ONE WHO BANS PEOPLE IF THEIR OPINION HURTS HIS BUSINESS. BLOCK, SHERMAN AND SO MANY OTHER SLIMY PODs make money off podiatrists because PODS DON’T ACT TOO BRIGHT, too motivated or too academically ambitious. Podiatrist Giurini says,, “lets show other professionals we can disagree. Yeah, we’ve been trying to SHOW others about us for a half century and THEY’RE NOT INTERESTED! Podiatrist Mozena calls Mullens… Read more »
Pod Giruuini Fettucini lecturing others on “professionals” disagreeing is like a fast food restaurant lecturing a fine restaurant on food prep
Jerkrini? That POS?! Kettle calling black.
YET-Shlock still BANS, CENSORS those that show the real podiatry narrative. Just ask Robert. The morons who right into Shlock’s propaganda “news” think they have free speech,,,,NOT. Again, just ask Robert, you can have some minor differences, however, shake the tree a lil’ too much, and then Shlock will BAN you.
That’s because BARRY BLOCK and the trade he propagandizes for are both INSECURE, a little perverted, and greedy. It’s that NEW YORK CITY MANHATTAN ISLAND BUSINESS MIND SET that permeates through podiatry making it MORE OF A BUSINESS THAN A MEDICAL PROFESSION.
Propaganda and manufacturing consent-Shylock.
