I found this tweet fascinating
We are producing 6 to 7 times more nurses a year in our nation than doctors. Within 10 years my guess is 90 percent of primary care will be done by nurses. I wonder if at that point all the remaining PCPs will be concierge or highly leveraged to help oversee a new means of largely providing primary care. This isn’t bad nor good but is likely reality. Maybe then if we still only produce 25000 drs a year, we would reallocate those residencies to better align with areas and specialties that nurses may not be able to substitute as closely for.
This is obviously gonna have implications for Podiatry none of them good.
attention is their oxygen, validation is their currency, accountability is their kryptonite = podiatry and or women
Podiatry always boils down to: Arrogant, selfish, mentally damaged medical school rejects running podiatry schools, the APMA, and its STATE Political organizations. I’ve LONG observed the titillation and CONCEIT that election to a State Foot delegation engenders in a basically insecure foot tech. State “representative” or State “president” TITLES transforms these technicians into full fledged propagandized ROBOTS echoing the foot scam manifesto. A free suite, a dinner, a badge, a banner, or the mere acknowledgment of their name separating these insecure men from the “rest of us” is psychologically ORGASMIC to them and ensures their BLIND DEDICATION to the “party”.… Read more »
Barry blocks has a group of his own cronies and yes men he “publishes” stories from and about. It IS absolutely embarrassing and he needs to be in brought up on charges for false advertising and malicious obsfuscation. But as long as he’s around, and filling his fat wallet, he doesn’t give a rip. He’s a true shill and a total disgrace. Called him out and all he does is laugh because of all the advert dollars he gets up the wazoo!
Barry Block is BAD FOR PODIATRY. HE and his lifers have stymied podiatry’s evolution by sticking to the old paradigm of, “make as much money as possible from tricks”, like any BUSINESS along with censoring the truth about why PODIATRY’S INFERIOR EDUCATION AND LIMITED LICENSE ACCEPTANCE HAS KEPT PODIATRY AN ARMS LENGTH FROM THE MAINSTREAM.
He laughs like a little weasel. A shyster grin and a fat wallet from selling positivity
“Selling positivity”: Another ephemeral ,non physical construct that ultimately does not change anything. Con Men “sell” things that actually do not do any work.
Barry Block has been selling the “someday” magic elixir to the simpletons for most of his wasted life.
actively doing nothing is key.
Meanwhile, all the critical thinking pod posters laugh at the owners of the propaganda-marketing circus and watch from the stands.
“Melnick”: Yes, those original New York “crooks” have kept their FOOT BUSINESS viable by PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE “inaction”. Despite the cry to change the curriculum and license, they sit back and IGNORE those they RULE OVER. Why dumb podiatrists don’t see that they have the power of the purse, the power of rejecting RULER proclamations, and the power of not recommending the trade, only leads me to believe that podiatry is made up of INSECURE MEDIOCRE MEN. To me, that makes it a dirty profession.
What were all the podo “leaders” doing for the past 20_30 years? Ghastworth, Tinklemans, Shapiro, Levines, Krauss, Saddefeld, Rosenboom, etc; sans eating, photo-ops, and of course, propaganda soft ball “interviews”
https://www.angelfire.com/on/podiatry/pod.html
What were (are) pod “leaders” doing? They were “supping off the stupid”, and podiatry has more than its share.
98.3% of Dmps.

I taught for 11 years at one of the Podiatry Colleges. AND, they are good kids but 99% are no where near Med school quality.
“Prof”: WHY DIDN’T YOU ADMIT IT SOONER?!! Got YOUR MONEY and unleashed the stupid onto the public? Podiatry is a “ME FIRST” trade.
99% Of those students are dumber than a box of rocks. Selling seats with rainbow promises and juicy creampies are disgusting.
From letter to propaganda mag:
‘Jengyu Lai is the Chief Manager of Rochester Clinic and has been providing podiatric and wound care for more than two decades.´
Note the clever terms, ‘ chief’ ‘manager’ bc podlings cannot call themselves CMOS nor medical directors etc.
Manager like the manager at a greasy burger joint , or rip off electrical supply store. Lifestyle wellness— sounds like flaming bullshit.
Also, the foreigner states nothing new. Water wet syndrome.
He still is in denial about the extremely poor choices he made. Not surprising.
The dirty dying profession of Chiropodiatry’s lifers are squealing now. Where were they decades ago when we warned them podiatry couldn’t continue with a low grade education and a limited license? Shoe pictures, shoe sales, and arch support Mc Quactics have cemented podiatry as the Chiropractors of the foot. Jeffrey Kass points out the crooked purposeful class system podiatry has employed by giving different scopes and different licenses. So, New Yawk pods still cant touch a wart on the ankle unless they have a special ankle certificate (good luck with that) while states like PA and Fl let you touch… Read more »
RE: student podiatry forum site and its APMA site monitor, that will censor, ban, modify , delete “antipodiatry” rhetoric… “So how much does the APMA pay someone to monitor' posts? A profession of 12-15 thousand doctors with maybe half of them members must have a lot of expenses, right? Advertising, lobbyists, office supplies and equipment, staffing, health insurance, postage, and a whole lot more. A job tomoderate’ posts? Is that reflected in the dues that go to the APMA or the state or local groups? How does someone get a job monitoring? Is there a career path toward becoming an… Read more »
To be a monitor (censor, propagandists, liar) you must be part of the lifer-CULT that started the chiropodiatry scam and continues to control and profit from it. It doesn’t hurt if you’re from New Yawk City either.
Gottdelusions gottliebs
And then there is still Chaskins, who can’t even retire, still trying in that shitty NY state.
Thought she was moving to Froridaaah
They are, not their. apologies
Barry Block CONTINUES to be an embarrassment and be BAD FOR PODIATRY. What kind of dummies got in and got out of that New Yawk quack college? They can’t be too bright overall. Block asks a statistically and academically immature question, “Are you satisfied with you states scope”? Well, seeing there are different scopes in different states and the survey doesn’t allow for an apples to apples comparison (ie are New Yawkers happy vs. are Floridians happy) what kind of answer can you get? This survey will produce an absolutely useless answer. If more happy “leg law” voters write in… Read more »
If you think the residents are bad now…wait for this new crop coming out this month. Three years of new idiots. BUT APMA says they are better than the medical residents. LOL. All they want to do is surgery that will pay then next to nothing. Some will be employees, most will be bankrupt.
The cheerleading APMA clowns need to be arrested and tarred – feathered.
They’re scumbags.
The rat race begins, the one with no end, its a dog chasing its tail. First, resident has to make sure to have enough surgical cases ( hospital cases are down the past 5 years), next , do a research paper, then try to get board certified. then continue with MOC.. etc etc. Work your ass off for the alphabet soup after your name that means nothing in the real world. The hoops that Podiatry puts out there , ( in most cases to make money) make no sense. Profession sinking and all the APMA does is rearrange the chairs… Read more »
Sounds like a dirty profession.
Low -moderate IQ Barry.
Dumber than stale dogshit to real docs , but very clever shyster. Lines those pockets through positive podiatry propaganda.
Barry has a god given talent for making money. I hope he can “take it with him”. I see a Barry Block “scholarship” to some future sucker.
WHy the f is that POS still “working”? He is sick person chronically sick and mentally. Is a greed-money addiction thing with them?
Maybe he can be buried with the BM news baseball cap?!
When you have many Dmps thinking that a 1980s marketing Psy ops campaign can bait gen z’s into a dying fake poorfession, ya got a very serious problem. This is borderline criminal
I call it purposeful fraud. Podiatry is one of the shrewdest, sneakiest, misleading trades I’ve ever run into.
Pat DeQueeer “thinks” he is equal to a foot and ankle ortho.
Little does he know …………..
A clueless DPwtf, that is the boxer, who will punch back at ortho’s.
When you only have a podiatry background, instead of a mainstream medical background, you have NO FRAME OF REFERENCE to know where you are. Those trained “pod only” think podiatry school was Med School. Those with pharmacy, nursing, lab, or physical therapy background BEFORE FOOT SCHOOL were trained with a full body, all diseases, back ground. I quickly realized how superficial foot school and the “clinicians” were compared to my mainstream training in laboratory medicine. We learned and diagnosed diseases most pods never heard of. We had to because WE were the ones who made the diagnosis the MD’s received… Read more »
All these clowns defending podiatry with their last dying breathe:
Reminds us of the French saying: “Chase away the natural, it comes back at a gallop”!
That is: Even if you try hard to conceal your feelings with happy talk; bullshit, and “positivity”, eventually your reality and your true colors will always show vigorously.
PAs and NPs are being trained to do everything. The have a full license.. DPMs do not have a full license but are full of debt.
Podiatry is the Xerox of the real medical world, they copy what MDs, DOs, PAs and NPs do so they think that gives them credibility when the Podiatry schools are no where close in core rotations and curriculums.
Podiatry hides in the shadows of MD’s; mimicking and pantomiming but NEVER REALLY BEING. Those that disagree are deluded liars. You are either an actual DOCTOR or you’re FAKE. YOU ARE NOT JUST LIKE but, for medical school rejects (like most of us), “wetting our beak” a little, is only a CONSOLATION. For those really thirsty, a shot glass of water may provide momentary satiation but that great thirst is never quenched with “promises” of future aliquots of water. You need a big gulp NOW! Those thirsting for a full license (to be “just like a P.A.”!) need the full… Read more »

I find it disgusting and ironic podiatrists for plaintiffs. They are big shots in podiatry community. Paid to cause grief. I hope people who pay higher malpractice premiums thank them. Typical podiatry exploitation!
We can cite statistics, we can sound the warnings, we can try to wake up the “podiatric dead” but NOTHING WILL CHANGE AS LONG AS SELFISH, DELUDED LEADERS CONTINUE TO CONTROL OUR FUTURE FOR THEIR BENEFIT. Even the dumbest podiatrist must be aware that the, “we know biomechquactics” lie, FAILS to keep podiatry viable. The, “we’re just like”, no longer works when PA’s need to give us permission to cut a toenail. There MUST BE AN IMMEDIATE OVERTHROW OF THE APMA AND THE QUACK COLLEGE ADMINISTRATIONS if podiatry is to have a chance of getting on the mainstream merry-go-round. Walkathons,… Read more »
