DPMs are an island
Podiatry and its lack of evolving into a relevant medical specialty is built upon low GPA people with an associated IQ equal to that of a house cat, the cat who watches the record on a record player go round and round and round. There was a time of relevance back n the 1940s 50s and 60s…you cut nails, cut corns, made orthotics and helped people, that is all lost to the egomaniacs who could not reach medical school but substituted Podiatry and think they are equivalent to MDs DOs and now PAs and NPs. No one needs a Podiatrist… Read more »

No one needs a podiatrist. That’s the truth. Maybe a Chiropodist, but the nail salons are doing plenty of that work. The Good Feet Store and Custom shoe stores (like SAS) do the orthotics. That’s why pod tries to emphasize surgery. It’s a sliver of medicine though most foot surgery is fairly minor and elective. Anything more is best handled by an actual DOCTOR. Podiatry truly is a murky trade speckled with businessmen, crooks, and some nice guys who never got accepted to medical school. It is truly an enigma and it should be made to get off the fence… Read more »

For the many “committed” types to set the agenda for the whole agency of podiatry is par for the course. Committees, boards, associations, clubs, colleges, etc.etc. serve themselves and the grifters and lackeys who run the system, or a few hyper rich who want to meddle within podiatrickal society to play relevance. In today’s world, how much of their “services” are actually useful to their constituents is highly questionable. They certainly do not serve the podiatrist, or the cause of inclusion in the medical realm through massive, real change in curricula, education, training, etc. As most of us know, poison… Read more »

Reality......It's Traumatic
It would be interesting to examine US empire propaganda. It’s a 400 year+ history

Damn. ToeLegit and T…some serious thought provoking posts. Can’t add, but things to consider. I suppose that in considering systems, podiatry is a closed system, a loop or a Möbius strip or MC Escher drawing, or Bach chord progressions – It doesn’t unravel, rather goes on and onto itself without end. Sort of an exclusion of Mandelbrot’s randomness theory, the P begins and ends as a cyclic iteration of compounding sodomozation of pod-ticipants – Thanks for referring the E Barnays – Maybe podiatry was developed as part of an MK Ultra strain, or a DARPA project to experiment on vulnerabilities… Read more »

Eddy, Now that’s what I call insight and writing. Pod-ticipants? (wow!) “on and onto itself”! So simple but so deep. I’m a fan.

DPMS hate truth
I think he may have been working for the APMA, ACFAS, CPME and AACPM promoting Podiatry and has not done such a good job. By the way he started the American Academy of Podiatry disinformation association. To join you have to submit 3 lies you told patients that convinced them they need orthotics or surgery. This would make the 47th Podiatric organization.
