Podiatrist vs Orthopedic Surgeon for Bunion Surgery

This was the title of an interesting thread on Reddit. Personally, I would side with the Podiatrist over the Orthopedic surgeon for bunion surgery. Podiatrists do bunion surgery all the time Ortho surgeons by and large do not

Have you seen DAVID ZUKERMAN’S REMY LASER SALES PITCH? He says he doesn’t practice any more and talks about the WOW FACTOR using his laser. He rambles on about a friends problem while itchy his neck and coughing with a hacking cough. See a real DOCTOR about that cough MR. Maybe you can shoot the laser down your throat and get that WOW FACTOR! Certain podiatric personalities get into podiatry, get out, then start a SALES BUSINESS. Zukerman was rambling about possible capsulitis, tendonitis , tarsal tunnel, stress fracture never getting a definitive dx. But who needs it right? Just… Read more »

It’s a game changer as repeated by several scripted dp wtfs.

And testucularmonials too!

‘I am still in practice after 50 years I am using The Remy for pain and toenail fungus. The only complaint I have is that I wish Dr. Zuckerman had introduced The Remy into my pratice years ago! The Remy is one of the major breakthroughs in the treatment of podiatric pain conditions such as plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis, as well as pain and inflammation. Boots , DPM’

When will the profession realize the exact personalities who are damaging, manipulating and abusing the honorable portion of this profession? As the years go by I DO NOT SEE THE HONORABLE PORTION INCREASING. If anything the manipulators control and retard evolution for their own selfish reasons. This is an UNHEALTHY PROFESSION because such a significant portion of it has morals unbecoming a health care profession. Dirty businessmen continue to control it because the “honorable” portion either won’t lower itself to battle them or are too insecure to. Whichever it is it makes podiatry a field so fragmented it can’t be… Read more »

But RIB still spouts the party line. You can see how deep and effective the brainwashing is. It starts with that “white coat ceremony”. The faculty are told to call the students “DOCTOR” so when they “graduate” (exhaust their tuition loans) they actually think they went to Medical School. It is, and always was, a FRAUD. The idea of even considering the need to ADD A P.A. CERTIFICATE to make the dp foot certificate useful PROVES FOOT COLLEGE IS A LIE. dpm-P.A. The new podiatry.

Ok time once again to clear the LIES in PM News from the truth. PODIATRY EYES are seen in girl pod FREEMAN. See if you can catch the subtle well sculpted LIE? A “general consensus” agreed to the 200+ pages of a “Curriculum Guide” for foot technicians. It was a GENERAL consensus because half the dpms still want to be Chiropodiatrists and the other half want to be FULLY LICENSED podiatrists. Despite the inference that the NEW AND IMPROVED FOOT SCHOOL curriculum is an evolution, the point remains….Podiatrists are not trained to be fully functioning DOCTORS in a specialty, but… Read more »

My daughter is a PA, she is licensed from head to toe. She does more ortho in the ER ( that includes foot and ankle trauma) then any DPM would be ALLOWED to see.

90s DPM, congratulations. Podiatry, despite all the rhetoric from the lifer community will continue to wither. For a brief spell in the 80s-90s there was a window of opportunity for opportunists. The window closed when DPMs began imitating MDs in their training programs AkA “residencies,” and vying for positions without the qualifications. Legislation =/= education. It was not unusual for pods to earn 500-mm back then. The idea of giving DPMs a PA ticket could be dangerous because inherent to DPMetry is the “can do” rally which suggests, given the opportunity DPMs would do their best to “game” the system.… Read more »

Let’s compare apples to apples. A board certified MD foot and ankle surgeon is as good with bunions as a foot technician. The difference is that when it comes to serious or complex cases the MD has the edge and more. Podiatrists should be able to do at least one thing as good or better. Never the less the MD wins with training experience and breadth of scope. Even if the orthopedic surgeon is foot and ankle certified he’s still an orthopedic surgeon with ALL THAT EXPERIENCE, TRAINING, and LICENSE. MD by a knock out. Podiatrists are still an “inch… Read more »

In the future, there might even be an opportunity I read about for podiatrists to become physician assistants. This would be awesome if podiatrists could obtain this PA degree and treat ankle conditions such as ankle sprains, melanoma in situ located on the ankle, in every state and not worry about getting an ankle permit. All one has to do is to obtain a PA degree and be supervised by a physician. Some PA’s might even be able to assist at ankle surgery. This is why my opinion is it is so important for a podiatrist to obtain a PA… Read more »

…exceptions though. “Supervised by a physician.” Okay…that reply is just to damn dopey to respond to. Does that mean pods have to wear a leash, say roll over and beg? Arf arf. Why in the world would anyone want to do ankle surgery under supervision if they aren’t trained? Becoming a PA is a move from the Ritter to a shoeshine kit. Buff it up, put on a good shine.

daniel
Guest

It is better to get a PA degree and to assist at surgery and be supervised to treat melanoma in situ at the ankle, than not be licensed to do so at all. Another alternative is to move to New Jersey or Florida to become licensed to treat the ankle. Another alternative might be to skip the DPM degree and become licensed to treat the ankle as a nurse practitioner. There are so many different options. I personally am glad I became a podiatrist when I did and the best part is that all I have to do is leave… Read more »

Among the first things they teach you in residency is to AVOID having to do surgery. It’s NOT some raging boner thrill to even scrub in on a case you KNOW you’re incapable of doing solo. Ya know, I have no idea what you’re talking about. A DPM does DPM stuff in different states because of politics rather than competence. If you want to be someone’s bitch, knock yourself out. I HATE FEET AND ANKlES. If I saw a funky lesion I’d dissect the shit out of it and the nodes … why? BECAUSE I COULD. I am not you… Read more »

What a contrast. MD’s try to avoid surgery and DPM’S PUSH AND SELL IT. Perhaps if podiatrists had more to do (broader license) they wouldn’t feel compelled to “produce need”. Common sense screams increase the scope or accept your secondary role as a minor handmaiden (limited P.A.). Any leader that fails to discern that or act on it must be removed. If not through vote (unlikely because elections are fixed with prejudice) then through financial starvation. A SMART profession would have seen this and acted on it long ago. Podiatry still hasn’t acted so WHAT DOES THAT MAKE PODIATRY? (hint… Read more »

DAN. If you “ASSIST” AND ARE “SUPERVISED” YOU’RE JUST A TECHNICIAN NOT A DOCTOR. How can you in one sentence talk about subservience than in the next talk about being licensed to treat the ankle. You’ll ALWAYS BE SUBSERVIANT TECHNICIAN . Can’t you see the podiatric PARADOX? A technician who calls himself a dr. is a delusional fraud.

Robert, first of all, how are you doing? Hope all is well. How is the weather today? My opinions are in order to treat the ankle in NYS most podiatrists cannot represent themselves as a podiatrist if they want to treat melanoma in situ on the ankle. They have to become licensed as a PA and represent themselves as a PA, not a podiatrist. I guess the expression is one puts on a different hat, say on a different day, or in a different location.
