Geez us, podiatry is astupid MIXED UP TRADE. All that biomechquactic hype is being shown to be a fraud and a sales gimmick to SELL SHOE INSERTS. The once PILLAR OF PODIATRY (“we know biomecquatics) IS being proved to be no big deal. We have Podiatrist PHILLIPS admitting we don’t know (or apparently even care) what the real cause of HAV AND HAV FAILURE IS. He says all podiatrists care about is DOING. That makes them just TECHNICIANS. WHAT HAVE I BEEN SAYING FOR YEARS? WHO CARES ABOUT MICHEALIS-MENTON OR HENDERSON HASSELBACH ASKS TECHNICIAN DANIEL? What does that have to… Read more »

Yeah, he’s back and the first article is about 3 lifers “appointed” to the Fl board. Try to get that FL license mister. Look at them. What do they have in common? Well, we’re back to “COLD FEET”. See? high school LPN level “medicine”. Then you have podiatrist Talbert being called ‘VENERABLE DOCTOR”! VENERABLE! GIVE ME AN EFFEN BREAK. Give him one of those venerable wooden plaques. A sophisticated profession? One dirty podiatrist wants your imprimatur to put a TIP JAR IN THE OFFICE! A TIP JAR! OREINSTEIN, KESSLMAN AND HULTMAN MUST WONDER WHY THEY NEVER THOUGHT OF IT! He… Read more »

This is a bit tardy as Xmas is technically over but I think of the carol ‘SILENT NIGHT’. When SHOE LOVER DROP OUT PODIATRIST BARRY BLOCK IS AWAY FROM HIS P.M. PROPAGANDA SHEET the profession quiets down. No shoe pictures, no “increase your bottom line”, no what is it and what do I do? questions, No arch supports, NO KESSELMAN CODING TRICKS AND EQUIPMENT SALES TALK, no more meaningless WOODEN PLAQUES, and none of the many NON MEDICAL THINGS THAT MAKE PODIATRY MORE QUACK THAN IT IS. (SWEATY FEET, SOCK DRIVES, BRUCE PINKER ETC. ETC.) Perhaps, with the dissolution of… Read more »

Corporate Simp Award from the water is wet, winter cold ruminations and masturbations….

Podiatry “training” is ‘hard’ work.–Michael Felley–Whackoff Heights, NY Shitty

Yes, fetching coffee, hold retractors (riding the bicycle), setting up the slide show, nail trimming, callous busting, fetching coffee, bunion fileting, selling plastic shoe inserts, sanding plastic shoe inserts, holding retractors, coffee fetching, recycled chats about salvation, and ass kissing alot. It’s definitely “hard” work mr Failey

Lip service was fun because you don’t really have to “do” anything. Just mouth fart and smile alot. They buy it everytime. Just ask zelelskyy dp wtf.

silly shoez merry christmas, silly shoez, happy hanukah, silly shoez, happy kwanza, silly shoes barry’s blues, wear those socks, it’s a mock. so smile away, hug today, kiss, it’s a community mockery. just don’t talk to dick doc shlock dockery, sell your time, make a lil dime. silly shoez, give to chaskins he’ll get that stress relief and do it again and again. For when you’re still working in your seventies, you still need a lil stress relief now and then. merry christmas silly shoez, barry’s shyster blues

Does anyone think any of the lifers/propagandists may have an epiphany and start demanding real change and top to bottom clean outs for 2023, or will be more hot air, empty promises, and smiles?

Oh, goody. Lots of quackery and pathology in PM News propaganda today. The trees are falling in the forests but the pods don’t hear them. Wood plaques galore are being given out like the one that a pod put his own name on, The MICHAEL STONE, DPM AWARD!!! WTF! IT WAS GIVEN TO A GIRL FOR “OUTSTANDING PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT”. That means she’s a future lifer who drank the Kool Aide and will ensure the podiatric LIE continues. Another piece of wood was given out but another foot business that just started itself up, the LOWER EXTREMITY SURGEONS CLUB. Does the… Read more »

MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL. I hope Santa leaves an M.D. degree in your stocking. (support stocking of course)

So Andrew Attis received the APMA scholarship. Look at his picture and you could see why. He’s wearing a stethoscope around his neck. A stethoscope. Obviously, he has bought into the Samuel Merritt bullshit hook line and sinker. What do you believe he is going to do with a stethoscope? What does any podiatrist do with a stethoscope? This poor bastard is so miss lead. Boy is he in for a shock. Maybe he could try his hand at the USMLE and we could see how he does. Oh that’s right. Even if you were to pass the test by… Read more »

Many have maintained that podiatry does not evolve and is not respected because there is a cult of dirty men in it. In my opinion podiatirst JACOBSEN of FLAW DUH is an example. He wants his money! He tries to rationalize taking ALL A PT’S CO PAY EVEN IF THE FEE IS NORMALLY LESS. He rationalizes that the pt knew what his co pay is so he shouldn’t be surprised if he has to pay it. Even if the fee is normally LESS??? Get that money Jacobson you’ve got a business to run. Barry Block and a lot of New… Read more »

Take the Vietnam war, add a dozen or so businessmen with low ethics and you get= DPM Pod schools had in the 1950s and 60s about 40 students per class. Add the Vietnam war and you get a deferment from military service, if you go to a health career school. BOOM.. class sizes at all the 5 Pod schools at the time jumps to 160 per class. Now add the Higher education act where colleges get loan money for students and Pod schools are raking it in. Then have CMS pay 150,000 per Pod resident to the hospitals and BOOM… Read more »

SHOE PERVERT BARRY BLOCK and his lackey DANIEL CHASKIN must be in stress relief heaven with the picture of SUNDAE HIGH HEEL SHOES. Hey, you stupid podiatrists. Do you think you’ll get any respect as a DOCTOR as long as perverts associate you with ice cream shoes? Medicine is supposed to be a serious endevour not a place to get paid for your personal perversion. I wonder what Block and Chaskin (and so many other lifers) would be getting excited about if they were UROLOGISTS? Serious medicine requires serious personalities and I’m afraid there are not enough serious podiatrists in… Read more »

“Everybody you fight is not your enemy and everybody that helps you is not your friend” Mike Tyson, Dp wtf.

I would like to add to the conversation. The Primary care docs that use to send me patients, their practice got purchased by the hospital and I get no referrals now because the hospital placed two PAs in their practice and the PAs are doing the foot care. If its a surgical case they have to refer to the Ortho foot and ankle now.

Thank you

After 27 years in Practice, here is the score: Full licensed health care providers (MD,DO, PA, NP, DC, )…. 100. DPMs ( limited license, poor surgical reimbursement, dying private practices) …..0 Its amazing the BS ads for Pod school out there and more amazing how they keep the Pod students from the reality of Podiatry. Shame on them, where are the ethics? The clinicians and teachers at the Pod colleges will say and do anything to keep their pay checks. Now there are..Fellowships? what a joke. Three years of Pod residency is a joke. Poor 4th year rotations are a… Read more »

ERRATUM: Hear, not here!

Lying and misleading for money. That’s what the dirty profession does. Block doesn’t seem to care. Just post anything that the advertisers don’t oppose and collect the checks. If someone wants to challange the post…. ban them. Mc clenan must need the biz because he advertises regularly. Now it’s save a limb by tenotomy. He claims limbs are saved with a few second procedure. Where are the studies proving this? Where are the digital pressures and wave forms to describe the parameters of saftey? NOOOO! This is podiatry where a story is all you need….. plus a billing code. Hey,… Read more »

Can you picture the MD’s need for a special separate site to counter the LIES by another one of its sites?
Only a dirty lying corrupt trade needs an honest broker to expose the fraud and lies of the trade. Really, don’t you think, that at its heart, podiatry is a dirty profession because of lazy, deluded, avaricious “leaders” (controllers)?

Did mr chasskins giggle for the “stress relief”..

One way to get Planter’s warts?

The above picture of a fistful of $100 bills is so appropriate for the podiatry BUSINESS. Nothing stops the lifers from going after the gelt. The ABPM, dispite being told it’s not right, IS offering a BYPASS TO SX. BOARD CERTIFICATION WITHOUT GOING TO THE “we flunk half” AM BOARD OF FOOT AND ANKLE SX. The Med “board” is advertising (do they pay, or is it a favor Block?) that they are offering a CAQ (certificate of additional qualification) in surgery. Oops. All of a sudden there’s competition for the apprentice’s dollars. In the past there was no where else… Read more »

If you do not know your compass is manipulated, sooner or later your ship or plane is getting into an accident.

Oh Boy! More Money for Mr. Rodgers. 296 non MD foot techs took his test to become “certified” in pod medicine. Whatever that is. See? Pod med is NOT A RECOGNIZED SPECIALTY BY MAINSTREAM MEDICINE. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PODIATRIC DERMATOLOGIST OR NEUROLOGIST OR INTERNIST OR ORTHOPEDISTS. THERE ARE RECOGNIZED P.A.’S IN THOSE FIELDS THOUGH. That’s why the P.A.’s laugh at the pod “doctorate”. They deserve it more than a wtf. Even with such a watered down non MD test 14% flunked it after 7 years of JUST FEET. NO ONE SHOULD FLUNK IT. Hell, it’s just… Read more »

Nice Bank for only 3 years of schooling. An orthopedist’s PA makes $132,000 with NO EXPENSES and probably benes. What are you netting Mr. “dr” for 2x the schooling ( 4+ 3) vs. 3? (and they have a FULL LICENSE). Doing many hips backs, arms, etc. Mr. dr? The P.A. is. I recall a recent NYS prez arguing dpm vs. P.A. with me. He said “but they can’t do surgery!” As if pod foot stuff is actual surgery compared to what PA’s do all over the body every day. How long do you think it will be before they can… Read more »
