A member of the APMA BOT has his wife file a lawsuit against their trash removal company.
Her first visit to the plastic surgeon was for elective cosmetic work.
Her second visit was for a broken nose and facial lacerations and pain in her shoulder and head.
The court determined that the trash removal company performed no negligence.
Here is the case : https://law.justia.com/cases/indiana/court-of-appeals/2016/32a01-1512-ct-2313.html


You can’t build podiatry (or a nation) by hiding the truth. You destroy podiatry by hiding the truth. And that is exactly what’s happening/happened. Onward and downward.
Dr. Steinhour I congratulate and salute you in recognition of your community involvement, superior ethics, and academic and clinical excellence. Well, that means as much as THE STUPID MADE UP (ANOTHER ONE) “AMERICAN COLLEGE OF PODIATRIC PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS” heartily greeting and welcoming HARTLY MILT-CHIN to their ranks. What UDDER B.S.. Who the hell is or cares about ANOTHER MEANINGLESS MADE UP BOARD WITH A LONG NAME TRYING TO SOUND MEDICAL? Podiatric ‘PHYSICIANS”? Weren’t the M.D.’S VERY CLEAR THAT ONLY MD’S and D.O.’S ARE PHYSICIANS AND FOOT TECHNICIANS ARE NOT? Why the continued LIE? What DIRTY PROFESSION needs to LIE… Read more »
Oh gee, the technicians voted negatively. I think I’ll GIVE UP AND GO AWAY. You win Mister mediocrity. I’ll leave you to live IN your LIE. Don’t you wish? Pods will have MD’S before that happens Mister PODIATRIST!
Podiatry get over yourself. I am a retired podiatrist. Not a retired doctor and surely not a retired physician. For 40 years I treated feet. I did hospital consults “Cut nails “. I went to nursing homes to “cut nails “. Many days, I never turned my x-ray machine on. Did routine care all day. I did not fixate my Austin bunionectomies. I sold shoes and made arch supports. My big rearfoot surgeries were removal of haglund’s. And I had to get rearfoot “boards” to do that little bit of nonsense. Sure, I went to those meetings where my colleagues… Read more »
Enjoy years away from podiatry madness
I respect a man (Archer) who knows his limitations and position and in secure enough to not have to lie about it. Many podiatrists could learn from him.
sorry, IS not in….secure enough
Archer, that was a good post, sort of moving actually; admirable and wholly genuine. Forty years. Wishing you the best of what’s ahead, and whatever enjoyment you find. I suppose that upon reflection all the woulda coulda and shouldas didn’t much matter, you stayed the course hopefully your words will resonate that often: things just are what they are. In an offbeat sort of way you did grasp that brass ring, and for that strikes a chord of decency often unseen. Best to you Archer, Eddy-
Please tell drop outs Barry Block and Leonard Levy they are old and OUT OF TOUCH. I don’t think any of them have practiced in decades, if ever. Levy parroted an article about Os Trigonum from an OSTEOPATHIC JOURNAL as if it was new and original. It’s not. Even dpm foot technicians know about what he thought was new. These are podiatry’s famous men?!! Stick to SHOE PICTURES AND ARCH SUPPORTS. Neither of you operate at a Doctoral level proving once again that Barry Block’s PM News is just an ECHO CHAMBER FOR LIFERS to hear and read about themselves… Read more »
Both of these shlocks need to go to the 4:30PM early bird supper for some bland chicken, pureed peas, and a nice pudding dessert. They’re gonzo Robert. Fumes from a mediocre “career”.
Podiatry is, was, and forever will be a “carnival of the conned (Robert) and a ship of fools. Daniel any thoughts?
Os trigonum is pea shaped
My penis is curvey-shaped–bad case of Peyronies
Ethical issues at APMA? Why do past APMA presidents or Board of trustees get consultant jobs with vendors?? or hawk a product they “invented” or start a business?
Hustlers, hucksters, opportunists, grifters, americans
You know, the STUPIDITY I READ TODAY IN BARRY BLOCK’S PM NEWS IS AT AN ALL TIME HIGH. He is so far removed from science he can’t determine what is stupid or what is embarrassing to podiatry. He allowed Mc Clean to PROVE THAT LOW GPA PODIATRISTS DON’T BELONG IN A REAL MEDICAL SCHOOL. STUPID MC CLEAN CLAIMS “EPSOM SALTS” are not understood as to how they work. Did this guy take chemistry or get a C or less? How about physiology? Any of you foot TECHNICIANS recall that Epsom Salts are MgSO4, a large molecule, that causes OSMOTIC DIFFERENTIALS… Read more »
Re; the “doctor” suggesting epsom salts—“Did this guy take chemistry or get a C or less?” YES at a 4th or 5th tier university likely.
True News alert “No hard data exists on the trend,but many podiatrists have spotted a correlation between foot injuries and the pandemic accordingly up James Christina- Apma -director
Sorry end with according to
Dr. DeHeer : It is a shame that Erica did not have a set of the “now-defunct” Moore Balance Braces to wear when wheeling a trash can. Had she been wearing these, she may not have fallen and broke her nose. After all you’re embarrassing colleagues Dr. Mike King and Dr. Ira Krause thought that these braces were going to make podiatrists the “fall prevention experts.” They could not have been more wrong, my friend ! Or perhaps you can supply her with a pair of your carbon fiber Thrive AFO’s that you import from your IQ source in China.… Read more »
“FALL PREVENTION” ANOTHER PODIATRIC SCAM TO SELL STUFF.
Shysters like bald one
Why podiatrists are lying quacks. Pods VOLUNTEER a in MEDICAL TENT at the Boston Marathon. For over 40 years I’ve heard that EXAGERATION . Sounds impressive to a LAY MAN or an INNOCENT undergrad student but the REALITY IS ALL THESE PODS DO IS BASIC CHIROPODY OR GIVE OUT WATER. The MD’s and PA’S DO THE REAL MEDICINE. Only a DESPERATE PROFESSION THAT NEEDS TO BUILD ITSELF UP ARTIFICIALLY NEEDS TO FOSTER THAT LIE. Let’s get it straight. Pods are not actual doctors and I wonder about the liability of being in Boston and coming from say, TEMPLE or NEW… Read more »
Who is your favorite speaker ? WTF is Ribotsky now babbling about ? Did he sustain a head injury in the infamous boat crash ? You mean like entertaining without providing useful or accurate information ? How about who is your favorite huckster ? Who is your favorite fungus toenail speaker ?

Who is your favorite bull shit I don’t actually practice diabetic foot expert ?… Read more »
Concubine was/is a dermo. The red thick rimmed glasses and pink shirts. Somethings funny in the water going down..south. Maybe interview the boat accident lawyer-that would be a very interesting speaker!
Light in the loafers- spare ribbed
Kudos to the Coasters and” song”Yakety Yak”.Take out pAper and trash -don’t sue back!
FUNNY AND APROPOS
WHo’s your favorite podiatry speaker says spare rib who made out bigggg time on that love boat–also, maybe he can have his orthopaedic surgeon who operated on his calcanei give the podiatric speaker talk? Nirrenturd the podiatrical forensic badly aging odd looking clown talking about another case he didn’t work on–kinda like sports pods-they talk about OTHERS cases, and…cub scout foot school teacher leads the marathon helpers in beanotown, bandaids, photo ops and more propaganda from barry’s shit show
Plastic garbage can, plastic garbage can. Sue if you can. Get some plastic surgeries you can. Plastic garbage can. We’re definitely a fan. Who’s da man? Puncha Da Face if you diss the that disgrace
I saw the photos. He should sue the plastic surgeon.
If you must keep talkin’
Please try to make it rhyme
Because your mind is on vacation and your mouth is workin’ overtime
The stupidity and LOWEST LEVELS of podiatry are “sold” by Barry Block to enrich himself. Pictures of SHOES WITH MAGGOTS is how HE represents YOU. YEAH, that will impress the P.A.’s. BLOCK DOESN’T CARE THOUGH. There are checks to be cashed. That’s the NYC way learned at the NYC Franchise. Maturity, honor, academics doesn’t matter in BUSINESS. Instead of asking WHY DO SO MANY PODIATRISTS NEED TO ADVERTISE BLOCK JUST PRINTS THEIR ADS WITHOUT QUESTION. Look. The PRESIDENT OF THE NYPMSA, JAMES HANNA, can only talk about simple childish unsubstantiated foot stretches and warming up. What quack school course taught… Read more »
Maybe she was walking while wearing on of her son’s BS equinus braces??
It is not at all of particular note that Puncha Puncha Pat the podiatric pugilist would try to sue a trash company for free plastic surgery on his wife. He lives in the APMA “bubble” as it were. Pretends to be a pediatric and sports medicine expert. Is one of the APMA self-serving pocket stuffing pseudo-intellectuals. Sells a useless equinus brace and any other crap he can make money from. The saddest part of all this is that he, like his fellows in the bubble hucksters, actually believe that they are respected and esteemed by anyone with a relatively normal… Read more »
Simple question that the APMA board of trustees cant answer. What has the APMA done to advanced the profession as in keeping up with FULL LICENSED health care providers? That is why our small 3 man Podiatry practice has dropped out of the APMA , they do nothing and the ACFAS does more to divide the profession than advanced it.
Is this a reflection of the type of leadership that exists in the APMA? There is no leadership, the profession is withering away to NPs, PAs and ortho foot and ankle docs. Greed does this. Now throw in the fact that no one is applying to Podiatry School and thats the last nail in the coffin.
Barry Blocks MAGGOT SHOE PICTURES DON’T HELP EITHER. Block has been laughing at, and hurting, podiatry far too long. He has to go. UNSUBSCRIBE. YOU CAN GOOGLE PM NEWS on your own if you need a laugh…or want to feel sad about podiatry.
Careful Gents—-that Ortho1 review resulted in PuchchaDa Face from the Loser state going bat shit defending his wonderful amazing incredible footology job. If ya diss the p, youre gonna get a punch to da face!
You’ll have to ask a CANADIAN LAWYER. You live in TORONTO.
Who the fck sustains this type and/or types of ‘injuries’ from moving an empty plastic garbage can? Sounds like the dp wtfertrist who was jogging through a construction site at night–“fell” and sued for “injuries.”
Puncha ………………….. the guy that feels like punching Ortho 1 in the face. Gotta question for you ………………….. Why didn’t you teach the wifey common sense. Close the lid of the trash can before wheeling it. “Stupid is as stupid does.”
100% correctamundo. Also, curious what type of other aesthetic work she had done? Maybe footy cosmetics?
Yes Podiatry =Mental Illness there exists International Aesthetic Foot Society! And no joke they advertise among other services “Loob job for stiff joints!
Sorry Loub job
A PODIATRIST has his WIFE get the Garbage cans in. Real Class.
“Her second visit was for a broken nose and facial lacerations and pain in her shoulder and head.”
From an empty plastic garbage canister
MAYBE puncha punched her and she’s just blaming the poor Garbage Cans. We’ve read about podiatric wife abuse and even podiatric wife MURDER! What a trade!
Podiatry and podies were and are off-kilter. Theyre basically not normal. Off, something not quite right. screw loose. was it abt living a life of lies? Daniel any thoughts?
Next, Puncha da face got a head gashes, paper cuts, and arm stiffness from…. opening up an electric bill, he’s now impotent. Can he sue?
