This is all scalable…no difference between 8.5 million dollars and 1200 dollars for a pair of orthotics. DPMs do not notice how reimbursement has been steadily declining AND WHEN THEY DO NOTICE, , TURN TO SELL SELL SELL…SELL ANYTHING YOU CAN TO THE PATIENT.

Since the 1970’s, when I first sat in a biomechquactic class, I sensed something was fishy. Crazy THEORIES of THIS AND THAT HAPPENING that was not accepted by mainstream medicine seemed to go against the grain of all the science I took. The euphemistic term of “CUSTOM”, “JUSTS LIKE CONTACT LENSES” etc. was always suspicious to me and I could sense a CON COMING ON. For years Mc Quactic Labs have battled each other for BUSINESS. Each CLAIMING special skills in producing pieces of plastic that, when put into a shoe, would “scientifically solve suppination and pronation. Lately ROOT Lab… Read more »

Podiatry has mentally ill men in charge and therefore should be avoided. Decades of misleading and lies, for example, pod students and marathons. As if there is some “RELEVANCE BY ASSOCIATION”. We all know podiatrists are less than, and under, MD’s, RN’s, and PA’s at these events and all that the pods provide are some basic first aide and some taping. This is about the only time you’ll see pods “under the same tent” as the mainstream. PODIATRY IS NOT SERIOUSLY RELEVANT IN SPORTS MEDICINE! Despite cute ads of skiers claiming a little cant in their shoes will makes them… Read more »

After reading Elliott the Idiot’s diatribe in PM News today, it is my considered opinion that he is the number one moron in Barry’s universe of the mentally inept. One has to consider whether Elliott’s defective thinking extends to his evaluation and treatment of patients. One can only hope that his podiatry practice is restricted to cutting toenails and calluses. Any care beyond this requiring any form of executive function is likely a danger to the public. Bret Ribotsky tells us he is a Cheerleader for Podiatry. Where did he go, when push came to shove ? An Orthopedic Surgeon,… Read more »

8.5 Mill? Peanuts. >120 Billion for the penis piano player coke head of Kyiv.

OH! OH! Look out dirty podiatry and you Lifer-Liars. Just heard that Elon Musk is developing “TRUTH-GPT” , an A.I. technology that TELLS THE TRUTH instead of Liberal-Liar Propaganda. Whatcha gonna do Mr. QUACK COLLEGE administrators, Mr. APMA, Mr. I’m just like a DOCTOR, when a student looks up podiatry and finds out there is NO SOMEDAY. THERE ARE NO USMLE’S. THERE IS NO “JUST LIKE”. THERE ARE NO SYSTEMIC DISEASES YOU CAN TREAT. THERE IS NO SUPERIORITY TO A P.A., orthotic biomechquactics is a pseudo science, and that THERE “ARE” MANY FIELDS THAT DO WHAT PODIATRISTS DO AND ARE… Read more »

Had a GI study done today. You know, Barium, Fluoroscope, swallow thing. Watched the MD radiologist carefully. Serious, attentive, conscientious. Did a good history re CANCER, CHRON’S, DIVERTICULITS ETC ETC. He didn’t try to sell me any sunscreen to protect from radiation from the sun. He didn’t try to sell me sunglasses, or any procedures, or surgery. He didn’t advise me to stay away from Nuclear Explosions or sell me antacids. I saw no underwear tree or candy shaped like an X Ray machine. I was talking to the X ray tech who told me about the WIDE VARIETY of… Read more »

He was past president Texas podiatry association. Also was on Board of podiatry examiners in Texas.. Go podiatry leadership!
