  • Magical Socks

    Once again trying to get Rich Dubious (oops I mean Dubin) announces attendance at one of his LER free seminars.  What he does NOT tell the moron PM News readers is that his programs are marketed to physical therapists, chiropractors, PA’s, NP’s and others who can provide the same services as a podiatrist.  This latest money grab was a program on MAGICAL SOCKS that increase circulation.  How many vascular surgeons and cardiologists will do this ?  And anyone can sell them out of you office. This bonehead is celebrated by PM News while he markets the podiatry competition, such as it is.  Maybe his next program will be on advances in toenail care.  After all, there’s money he can make there with or without podiatry.  And CPME gives CEU’s to these programs !!  Hey DaniPro get out your checkbook.  And Warren or Tracy warm up the old Jublia lectures.  And BAKO and McClain, you can jump in here too.  Just when you thought Presents was as low as a profession can get selling commercials disguised as CME’s for money, we have a new contender on the block.  No shock that both advertise heavily in PM News.  Hey trying to get Rich Dubious, Elliott the Idiot is available to lecture for you.  Oh that’s right, he already has.

You have to love trying to get Rich Dubious and his LER program announcements in PM News. If he has a number of physical therapists, pedorthists, and chiropractors, as well as podiatrists sign up for the programs that he gives, he sends that number into Barry Block who dutifully prints these numbers. If his numbers are low, he tells you the high ratings the programs received from the village idiots who actually sit there and listen to his programs and commercials. I suppose if the evaluations are low and the attendance is low, we will hear about the percentage of… Read more »

DAN PENA is sorely needed.
He does not tolerate bullshit, no danny boy blather,r barry’s propaganda “news”, nor the endless grifters and co. in this half assed “profession”.
He could definitely clean up the very sorry state of podiatry. Destroy podiatry completely and start anew. House is completely rotted, you tear down and rebuild 100% brand new. No band aid bullshit, nor painting over rust, or cracks. Full tear down, rebuilt.

Yes “Cater”. The house of podiatry was built on a shaky, UNSOUND foundation and needs “RECONSTRUCTION”. Unfortunately those RR’s aren’t as competent to do it as they claim. Before RECONSTRUCTION the house must be FUMIGATED AND THE RODENTS REMOVED. Start with Barry Block and all his “practice management” shysters. Then take the APMA and Board DICTATORS. It’s a tough job because they’ve NESTED FOR SO LONG AND ARE DEEPLY ROOTED. I think the easiest and most effective way is to just DEPRIVE THEM OF THEIR NOURISHMENT ($$$$$) and they will seek GREENER pastures on their own. And you thought a… Read more »

The ORIENTAL NAIL SALONS DO THE SAME EVERY DAY MISTER. There’s not much magic in toenail trimming. I know they propagandized you in quack college that only “doctors” can touch toenails. That was a lie. Podiatry college lies to its customers. Afterall, they have to stretch those 4 years to get maximum tuition reimbursement. BTW Trash collectors help people. The Mc Donald’s drive through minority helps people, Mister. It’s the degree of sophistication and technicality that needs to be compared. That’s called comparing SIMILARS.

Wait a second. Podiatrists are licensed to trim sharp toenails in a foot with PVD. Anytime a foot has PVD trimming of sharp toenails become risky when the service is performed by a non licensed individual. Trimming toenails is an integral part of treating a vascular compromised foot. We should take pride in this accomplishment as part of our role in fighting our common enemy podiatric foot and podiatric pain. Every toenail properly trimmed is another accomplishment in our quest to make our patients happy.

Let me give you a hypothetical example: If a patient has a sharp toenail nail they may see a podiatrist. That podiatrist may trim the toenail so it is not sharp.

There were no severe injuries. She had some very minor facial lacerations that the plastic surgeon was able to suture up with no visible scars. But Dr. DeHeer convinced his wife to try and sue as a “$$$ fundraiser”. THEY LOST !

They lost. And rightfully so, deserved to lose. There was ZERO negligence on the part of Ray’s Trash Service.

In my opinion, during these stressful times, socks are really important in this short life. We all need to help our patients with their foot problems because most MDs don’t check feet or toenails. In my opinion, podiatrists can help patients select proper socks especially during the winter time. It’s important that the feet are kept warm and dry. Podiatrists can greatly assist patients for this. Opinions only.

Combing your hair and applying deodorant is important along with cutting toenails Opinion 2. WHERE’S THE MEDICINE? I read an interesting article about diagnosing Alzheimer’s . Along with blood tests for Elevated TAU PROTEINS, elevated Astrocyte protein secretion tests in combination with Tau have a high rate of predictability for Alzheimer’s. Understanding this mechanism offers a possible therapeutic route to focus on.

Perhaps a treatment will benefit the thought processes of podiatric “leadership” who all seem to be suffering from some sort of dementia.

For that type of imbecilic logic, maybe dermatologist should cut hair, be hair dressers bc long hair can impede vision and cause falls….And yes, deodorant is applied to skin, so dermatologists should sell deodorant to help add to their revenues.

Mishaped Tau proteins can affect microtubules and lead to cognitive problems but the more important question is will a sharp toenail cause a foot injury! Again toenail care by a podiatrist is helpful for so many patients!

How many persons would complete 4 years of undergrad, 4 years of podiatry school, +3-4 years of post podiatry training to trim toenails, when Su Phuk cuts em at the strip mall with barely a high school education? Her education was certainly not $300,000+ Daniel. So who’s the idiot?

To all here present. Trimming toenails IS A MAJOR PART OF PODIATRY. Don’t get fooled with the white coat, dr title, ” surgical residency” thing. YOU WILL BE trimming toenails. Lots of them. IF, that’s IF, you get some ELECTIVE surgery it’ll be from someone you’ve done some nails on or from a toenail patient referral. Don’t ever think you won’t be doing lots and lots of peoples toenails.
