You are probably thinking what a dumb headline. But I wrote it to demonstrate the effect that Podiatrists behaving well will never make the news. If you read some websites you would think damn Podiatrists break the law a lot. The fact is by and large Podiatrists mirror the rest of the country as far as crimes and misdemeanors. So I wrote this to point out that Podiatrists by and large are good law abiding people (other than the practice management gurus. They are just grifters.)


Starve them financially…starve the beast….
“Sat for the 2nd day in a dim COLD conference room as I had for the last 40 years. Nearly nothing was changed.. “
“once a license is lost the holder will probably never be able to regain it and you do understand the desire to have a “fall back”, “back up plan” in case things go south. Bank accounts and stock portfolios are NOT IMMUNE TO ECONOMICS. There’s plenty of history to warn the wise not to put all their eggs in one basket or “leave the lifeboat” too soon..” Leaving “too soon” in your mid 70s that you hate other DPMS for still doing podiatry as elderly men?!? That’s a mid 70 year old who still needs to work?!?!…. who sharply criticizes… Read more »
Yeah, ‘FOOT AND ANKLE SURGEON’. The title goes a long way to maintain the FRAUD. Even pods fall for it. Because MOST PODS WENT TO FOOT COLLEGE WITHOUT A MEDICAL BACKGROUND ALL THEY KNOW IS PODIATRY AND THINK THEY LEARNED “JUST LIKE”. Those that were RN’s. RPh’s, M.T.’s, etc have been exposed to full mainstream medicine and KNOW the depth and breadth that PODIATRISTS WERE NEVER TAUGHT. As a LABORATORY TECHNOLOGISTS I RAN TESTS FOR EVERY DISEASE SEEN IN A HOSPITAL FROM INTERNAL TO INFECTIOUS. Naturally we learned about the diseases we were testing for. When was the last time… Read more »
The truth hurts the narrow lifer mind.
Thanks for comments Seth.But podiatrists in charge of many things in podiatry are not good people! Read of residency director verbal and unethical behavior! Typical – future pods beware…..
including verbal abuse
Thanks , verbal abuse what I meant
Sat for the 2nd day in a dim COLD conference room as I had for the last 40 years. Nearly nothing was changed.. Out of State lecturers showing slides of procedures NEARLY NO ONE IN NY STATE COULD OR WOULD EVER DO. This communist -like, controlled, limited state, has been POORLY REPRESENTED FOR A HALF A CENTURY. Presidents like JAMES HANNA PROCLAIMED HE WAS AGAINST PODIATRISTS TAKING THE USMLE’S. One of the only hopes for podiatry to get on the SAME TRACK AS MAINSTREAM MEDICINE IS BEING DERAILED. Stay ON THE “SPURS” OF THE TRACKS (railroad term). We are OFF… Read more »
“Sat for the 2nd day in a dim COLD conference room as I had for the last 40 years. ”
Put that on the tombstone. What a “life”
“communist -like, controlled, limited state”
how is that any different than a person in their mid 70s still working because of real fear of economic ruin then consuming state run corporate news? The only “free” thing you have is which hamburger to go to and how to pay your taxes for endless war and podiatry
Wonder what happened to the podiatrist who was jogging through a construction site at night and then “tripped” and “fell”…..loaded ;likely. Lotsa bullshit in the land of the foot crooks.
Not apropos to this theme but this is the latest post so I’ll pass on what I hope is informative. Just finished first day of our Buffalo Seminar. Talk was about the USMLE EXAM. Well, no wonder NY is one of the most BACKWARD STATES. I personally spoke to JAMES HANNA NYSPM PRESIDENT to see if I understood his position. HE ADAMANTLY IS AGAINST PODIATRISTS TAKING THE USMLE! HE INDICATED “WE TEACH ORTHOPODS, WE ARE THE BEST, WE DO NOT NEED TO LEARN ANYTHING EXCEPT WHAT APPLIES TO PODIATRY, MD SPECIALIST DON’T USE WHAT THEY LEARNED IN GENERAL MEDICINE”….IN OTHER… Read more »
Why did you attend a podiatrick seminar? DId you pay for this? Was it required for your livelihood even though your ‘”retired”? Thought you were retired and in your mid seventies, why are the f are you still doing podiatry and financially support the abuse? How do you shit on Daniel when you also support this assholes then double talk em?
You DO understand that the LAW requires one to take CME’S to maintain a license, and even though you’re just a podiatrist ,you should understand that maintaining a license is mutually exclusive from actively practicing. I went over this one time before with you. You forgot. You further understand that once a license is lost the holder will probably never be able to regain it and you do understand the desire to have a “fall back”, “back up plan” in case things go south. WALLMART has “greeters” who didn’t have a fall back plan. That won’t be me. Bank accounts… Read more »
So you willingly want to work in your mid seventies bc the US might shit the bed–good-let it, it’s a bad joke that elderly people still have to work ….. yet you SHIT on other Dpms who still do podiatry in their 70s and 80s. Why? Where’s your rhetoric abt economics/capitalism house of cards going southie. The back up plan is working as a 70-80 year old, yet you shit on pods you never retire. Why? Leave Daniel alone-he has to work because he’s likely poor
One just can’t reason with a podiatric ass.
Economic peril after 40 years of podiatrick work slavery. That’s sad man. Please let us know if we can help you remain in your house.
“. Don’t tell me how to live my life.” LOL. The us government certainly tells you how to run your life-they own you. Youre “free” to buy different socks or 30 different varieties of hamburgers. Youre just a puppet on strings dancing for your master bater and what State run FOX or CNN tells ya. Like deep state podiatry, The deep state you support it. Why? You shit on Daniel and others for doing podiatry as old people, yet you still do podiatry and maintain voluntarily a “license” as you shit on it because you screwed yourself and or didnt… Read more »
Robert, kind question. If you hate podiatry and what it represents, why do you need a fall back plan in podiatry?
Why would you need to maintain a podiatry license after doing it for 40 years ? Is it because you have not saved enough money during those 40 years? Bad divorce, too high taxes, etc…?
Sorry that you are in a bad economic situation and things are going south. That sucks. Is there anything we can do to help you with your economic situation and help you stay in your house.
NOW THAT’S A STUPID PODIATRIST (SEVENTEEN). FULL OF HATE, FALSELY FANTASIZING WHAT HE WANTS TO BE, BUT ISN’T. MY life is fine, thank you, except for the STAIN OF BEING IN A TRADE WITH BRILLIANT THINKERS LIKE YOU.
Wow, we’re just trying to help and empathize with your situation that seems dubious economically especially after forty years of podiatry yet still not enough money. That’s awful. Life happens-divorce/s, spouse with expensive tastes, kids, accidents, health, wars, etc… You said you want to keep your podiatry license and want go to podiatry educational meetings to keep options open and help ward off all those economic perils. Sorry that you are in a bad economic situation and things are going south. Is there anything we can do to help you with your economic situation and help you stay in your… Read more »
I don’t hate podiatry per se. I hate the lies that we ARE (present tense) ‘just like’, but someday soon we WILL (future tense) be just like (EXCEPT IN NY where James Hanna is AGAINST taking the USMLE’S), and I’m opposed to the stolen valor of terms like ‘physician and limb salvager’. If podiatrists accepted their mediocre, limited, fancy PA status, I’d have no gripe. It’s the hyperbole, lies , foot insert “theories”, shoe sales, and emphasis on money I despise. Also, there is a moiety of pods that do not mentate at a DOCTORAL level. Some of them write… Read more »
You mean a capitalist land grab!
The depiction above has blood stains and a person that apparently is dead. How is that not disrespecting the deceased, etc…like the censorship about the dead podiatrist. Yet, this is ok? Why is this murder not censored> Why is it open to commentary that is “negative”? They are apparently good people, well liked and it’s dissing the dead and no one should be speaking ill of the dead…right? Isn’t that what the commenters were all excited about?! Then Robert’s comments were banned/censored?! Wow. Just wow.
