The Podiatry Vineyard !
This is just what we needed.
The APMA collection of incompetent and corrupt morons and their cronies are going to hold an emergency summit to resolve the fight between ABFAS ( the haves ) and the ABPM ( the have nots ). The APMA has already demonstrated its inability to provide thoughtful or insightful leadership in so many areas ( eg: failing student recruitment, USMLE, non universal scope of practice, heterogeneous school curricula ) that one more major screwup is expected. Podiatry is a grape vine planted in poor quality soil, and now infected with a fungus. The grapes are increasing of poor taste and quality and of diminishing numbers. The wine produced will be suitable for drinking by bums and addicts. Nevertheless, the phony wine stewards such as Joseph, Lehrman, Garafaulis, Rogers, Krause, King, and the rest of the lower class sommeliers will continue to recommend these wines as suitable for drinking, so long as there is money to be made. Wine in a paper bag anyone ?

It’s like building a house with rotted wood, or the shitty Floridian condo building with tons of HOA board infighting that results in catastrophic collapse. Then imbeciles are surprised ?!?
The problem is decades old ….
Ms Kockzinas looks like it has podiatry eyes —marketing disguised as ‘news’ to sell shoes.
Superficial/ inauthentic Joy and glee in its eyes as it tries to get customers through the door and score.
Scum bags
They sell dear. Like many lawyers writing bs blogs to instill fear – agita for potential customers. A few lawyers have ethics and for those people, hats off for integrity and morals.
They sell fear. Creating artificial needs to pay all their debts and look the part to their family, neighbors etc.
They need customers and will say anything to get suckers into the shitty clown tent. Like many lawyers writing bs blogs to instill fear – agita for potential customers. A few lawyers have ethics and for those people, hats off for integrity and morals.
Time to go to work. There are a lot of lies and distortions to CORRECT. We have to because Barry Block won’t. Let’s start with the Residency LIE. Wu !Wu! We got 100% placement says Dean Wu. Well, B.F.D.! What kind of a quack profession wouldn’t? You mean they’re proud that after stealing 4 years of less than a P.A.’s tuition the kids may actually learn something being around M.D.’s in a hospital? Enough of this ADVERTISING. That’s all it is. These floundering schools are competing with each other because NO ONE WANTS TO BE A FOOT TECHNICIAN FOR $200,000… Read more »
Yeah, I know the truth hurts u. Take a deep breath of “Barge Cement”. Maybe it will help the pain in your brain.
They loved the smell of their own farts.
Podiatrists got high on their farts!
Bowser Blowhard preeminence is more like stale elevator flatulence.
It’s impt to tell incoming applicants/customers about the wonders of the worlds most amazing best keep secret in cough ahem….”medicine”…. wanderer got a bit high smelling her flatus.
Love the residency match reports. 100% of the class matched !! And PM News proudly hails this information. Here’s a thought. There are now less and less students you sawed off shyster Block-Head. In the next 4 years you will see less and less residencies because there will not be enough graduates to fill the positions. Fewer and fewer school applicants. The APMA ignores this because all of the BOT members wear blinders. Nothing to see here. Hey Puncha DeHeer, is Jeffrey DumbSantis one of your best friends ? And also Louie the fake pediatric foot typing guru. Puncha, DumbSantis… Read more »
But hallux.., They have to get forefoot sx certification and rearfoot certification. Just like upper thoracic surgeons and lower thoracic surgeons???!!!!
The American Board of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery (ABO-HNS) is now going to be offering four (4) new (CAQ’s). They got this idea from Lee Rogers and the ABPM.
There will now be :
A CAQ in advanced ear surgery.
A CAQ in advanced nose surgery.
A CAQ in advanced throat surgery.
A CAQ in advanced head and neck surgery.
Yup. The ONLY THING you can learn from podiatry is how to MAKE MONEY OUT OF NOTHING.
Are you molar or incisor certified? OR both? $$$
Divi up 26 cm and sell bullshit exams, prep, , re exams, and continuing exams. And gate keep competition.
Another hustle. Do the hustle
$200,000/26cm=$7,692.31/cm =$19,538.47/inch. Hmm? ~$20,0000 to do an inch of foot. Good use of money? What a CON!
It’s about access !!
Everyone gets a board certification !
I believe the term is equity ?
Let’s stop any and all testing/screening for podiatry school admission. Access !! If you make it, you belong. If not, well you had your shot. Let them all in. With the application drought the schools are doing that anyway.
If you’re dumb enough to listen to Elliott Udell, read PM News, send money to Presents, pay dues to the APMA, not see the overt crime and theft in podiatry, you deserve a CAQ.
What abt the American Association of Trans Podiatrists, What do they have to say?
Hey Hallux guy I just saw your post AFTER I posted mine. “Great minds”….. saw the match fraud lie. Why don’t the lifers and students see through this?
Kasselmans and co loves the plastic shit and how to charge luxury add ons -upswells like eyeglass hustlers and dental shysters. Anything for a buck.
It’s a business NOT a medical profession.
Who the f would choose p thing? Truth and reality is 2 clicks away. Shysters all.
The TRAUMA OF “THE REJECTION” BLURS ALL COMMON SENSE. Podiatry jumps in when you’re most vulnerable and SELLS YOU THE LIE.
Fewer dumbfuckers means 100% post graduate pod training programs ahem acceptances.
They are NOT residencies per the AMA. Only MDs /DOs complete residencies not Dmps. They can attend some post pod education training work. Fetching coffee, holding retractors, staring at backs of necks, 4 flunkies scrubbed in to watch a hammertoe on some old obese type 2 diabetic, pics of blacks/Mexicans/trannies/, and stethoscope pr shots bc you can’t give the experimental Covidian shot.
Or maybe steal it like Lackawanna fake md plate geezer.
Check MED PAGE today and read about the ER doc controversy. Of interest is that NP’s legally require NO SUPERVISION IN 27 STATES TO PRACTICE INDEPENDENTLY ON THE WHOLE BODY and that ARMY P.A.’s are given DOCTORATES and RESIDENCIES by BAYLOR UNIVERSITY.
And your wondering about fore foot suppinatus! The world is passing podiatry by like the landscape during a jet plane takeoff.
The foot supremacists must be upset
The FOOT SUPREMACISTS…good one T.
Only a QUACK PROFESSION overburdened with dumbbells could be so confused and hateful to each other. It boils down to one thing: Podiatry is a basic Chiropodal profession for the most part leaving very little to do to make a living or rationalize the time and money spent. This is why there is a divide between Sx and non Sx. It’s NOT THAT THERE IS AN INNATE GENETIC TALENT TO MOVE YOUR HANDS AROUND in a “surgical procedure”, but that DIRTY EGOTISTICAL MEN TOOK THE MORE SAVORY PORTION OF PODIATRY SAT ON IT, CONTROLLED IT, AND SET STANDARDS TO ENSURE… Read more »
Ivar comment was degrading! So lower 1/3 can’t practice! Too bad In medicine they call lower third doctor! They’re probably higher than our top tiers!
Yes Sybly. The lowest MEDICAL school graduate is still and M.D.. The highest of the high the biggest of big surgeons are still called dpm podiatrists with less power than a PA. I’d rather be the last in an MD graduating class than 1st. in a dpm certificate ceremony.
I just read in “KEVIN M.D.” that 550 residency positions for Emergency Medicine went UNFULFILLED this year! 550! Man, you could fit the entire foot technician class in just that program but unfortunately dpms DON’T QUALIFY FOR ANY MEDICAL RESIDENCY. I guess the foreign grads and P.A.’s will pick up the slack. Go ahead and wait for that call from the ER Mr. P. If anything it will most likely be a Medicaid indigent with infected ulcers that you’ll be stuck treating (unsuccessfully) for months. I suppose most podiatrists wouldn’t be interested in ER med anyway. Too much medicine. Too… Read more »
It was fore foot, rear foot, ankle, med board, ped board, Mcquactics board now they want to make it ONE BOARD. What a screwed up disoriented trade. They can’t even decide on what MISTAKE TO MAKE..and they are making a mistake. Unifying boards to ONE will NOT CHANGE SCOPE, LICENSE, OR RESPECT. The MD community doesn’t care about OUR MINUTIA. All they know is that podiatrists ARE NOT MD’S/DO’S. After that podiatry is an after thought after the after thought. Our big RRF CERTIFIED GODS DON’T GET IT. To them they’re big fish. To the MD’s they’re in the phylum… Read more »
Today’s my birthday. I’m 78! No no. No adulations please. My point is, I have a real eye-witness provable historical perspective on the PODIATRY LIE that has remained essentially unchanged in a LIFETIME. THE CON IS STILL STRONG. I really wanted to be a DOCTOR, but like MOST podiatrists, was not accepted to a REAL MEDICAL SCHOOL. I had a Masters and next step was PhD, or stop, and look for a job. Then, by serendipity, I read about Podiatry School. Like most, I thought podiatrists were DOCTORS who specialized in feet. I was surprised they had their own schools.… Read more »
Happy Birthday Robert! You’ve provided a wealth of information, fight the good fight, and years of experience knowledgeably written of these things – What you’ve learned along the way, and shared has–hopefully shone a glimmer of light in the dark underbelly of the P,¶We’re all flawed, broken, and to an extent empty in some ways, and carry baggage. As we get older the baggage gets heavier. By writing about the abysmal state of podiatry you’ve lightened that weight, and hopefully readers will gather something from your writings to consider the P and its implications as well as many things in… Read more »
Kind of you Eddy, Thanks. About all I have left to give this profession, as entropy causes me to stumble (balance brace??!) is to pass the baton of truth to other GOOD MEN and expose those podiatric crooks and narcissists, who through their lies, have strangled the hopes of many good men. What crueler debauchery than locking someone in a dark room teasing them that ‘SOMEDAY’ they’ll get out. It’s analogous to having a plant and not watering it or having a pet and not exercising or feeding it. YOU KILL IT BY OMISSION. The podiatry “leadership” OMITS the most… Read more »
‘What crueler debauchery than locking someone in a dark room teasing them that ‘SOMEDAY’ they’ll get out (R).’
Profound R. That’s podupetry. Keep the deluded lifers and juniors hoping -wishing (shit in 1 hand, ‘ positive ‘ thinking in the other)—that someday someday that ship will come in…as the scum sell them delusions, illusions, and mythologies. And the locked person in the dark room buys into the sick -demented ‘game.’ An eg of podiatric Stockholm syndrome.
Good luck and good night.
Words that can ruin a day: “Didn’t you do that foot school thing?” Others who’ve left the DP behind experience a similar nauseating sense, hairs on the back of the neck stand up, and that crummy feeling you get when the cops pull you over. PPTS post podiatry traumatic syndrome is common among ex-pod school attendees, a condition there is no cure, merely a reminder of a poor decision, an ex-wife, a bad piece of sushi, that hooker you thought wasn’t a dwarf, that barfworthy cascade of memories that burn parts of your mind you didn’t know existed. Even the… Read more »
Fun read.
It’s a carnival of the conned (R) -willful and/or ignorantly duped. Being called the p word is akin to the n word-psychologically. It’s something that can ruin a day, a week. Like a transsexual being called the “wrong” sex or by their “ dead” name.
Hence those that don’t do p anymore can be sensitive to being called a justa..or didn’t ya…
Nice summary of podiatry! Past and present!
Heartfelt and real. Thank you R.
De nada, Traum
Dmp Dipshitprimio would walk around the anatomy room and point to his wallet. And then take out wallet and say—this is what’s it all about to the pod stupe dents. Any wonder why the poorfession/place/people are so lost?
“this is what it’s all about”. More proof podiatry is primarily a mercenary endeavor .
At the OCPM there was a “teacher” who repeated: “The perfectly normal foot can be surgically be corrected.” I think he’d gotten a stretch in the big house and became someone’s bitch.
Yeah Eddy, Does anyone have the statistics on which school produced the most felons and murders?!
Narcopath Ms Dana (the foot girl who uses fake blonde hair to hide that unknown triad) is marketing itself to make sure your tootsies stay inside the overpriced fantasy corporate ride. Levee loved marketing too—others academic works and -oriental cuisine.
Don’t worry Ms Dana —any surgery resulting from trauma, will be performed by a Real Doctor Not a Dpwtf. Just ask Spare rib.
Another fine Dmp from a 5th tier undergrad. Predictable.
Whittier college?!? Lowest of the low.
Seth, minor correction. It’s not a vineyard. It’s a junk yard.
Jolly Rodger, Armpit, heartless, Sucktera, Youdell, Shermins, Jokeseph, Shoomee, Weigay, Fettucini, Leevee, Kasesystem, Boots, Gassworth, Bloch et al
Don’t blame the clown for acting like a clown, blame yourself for going to the fucking circus.
Traum, you’re exactly right. The only difference is that the circus was hidden inside a CHURCH. The congregants thought they were entering a sacred moral place but found themselves inside a circus teaching them “the con”. Dirty lying podiatry.
The congregants thought they were building a parish.
When in reality, they were building a whore house/complex.
And willfully participating/paying/supporting the circus
Do they not see the whore house-circus or is it they’re too traumatized to accept the reality that they really DIDN’T GET A SECOND CHANCE? PTSD.
Podupetry is not only Not a second chance, but a first class ticket to nowhere.
When driving to nose bleed seats at the concert, with both hands on the wheel, driving 54 mph, helmet on, boots on with bitchie braces, while pilot seat belted, triple masked with face shield, windows open, jabbed 4x, I would never answer a phone. Eddie Haskell dp wtf. It’s fun not thinking independently and obeying my govt – podiatry overlords
Who is this bozo Robert Marcus running these $99. dollar meetings with Elliott Udell speaking ? I know he’s from New Jersey.
Who is actually paying to listen to Udell ? And Jolly Roger ? And Kesselman ? And Smith ? And why ? It’s like paying to listen to someone take a shit.
Bars on the windows and door pays for this and their shyster ilk
They (he) pays and pays STILL HOPING to get a program or touch the ankle. The CON MEN OF PODIATRY LOVE STUPID PODIATRIC ATM MACHINES LIKE HIM.
Notice the SAME ‘OL CIRCLE OF HUKSTERS MAKING AND TAKING MONEY. These are the men that should be removed from podiatry. Be careful who gets your money. Podiatry is full of takers/
Danny boy would pay
Interesting collection of hucksters and sheisters that Jolly “split tooth” Rogers has surrounded himself with. ABLES ? What a collection of incompetent fools. And the old dead Floridians collection of fake boards. And a bunch of European chiropodists. Typical of a loser democrat (which he is) the Jolly Roger takes money and seeks lower by pretending to be a hero to the poor. The Jolly Roger cares only about his own ego. Look at his life ! Company to company as a consultant as a self declared “expert”. Typical podiatry low mental functioning. What a false.
The failed democrat CA CON greaseman candidate would show up in scrubs stating just got outta the or and give scripted rhetoric abt nukes and nuclear nonsense to the old biddies 5 in number…total fkg clown show. Lost of course and challenger called gap tooth skippy the p word! Ouch.
Now the interloper carpet bagger is in Texas fxkg around there. Jolly Rodgers.
ONE OF WHAT WE’D CALL THE CON MEN OF PODIATRY. We don’t need his kind in the profession
Idiot Usmell yammers about car phones—maybe he can again ask what type of car impresses customers? Does his mommy still help at the office desk?
Do bars on windows and doors help in those wonderfully diverse areas in NY?!
Elliot the Idiot Udell had to put his mommy in a nursing home. I believe she may have now passed away. She was his only employee. Hold the steering wheel with two hands when traveling at 65 miles per hour. I do. And I don’t pick up my phone when attending a concert. It may be one of my customers needing to have some corn and callus scraping done. This is not an emergency. I gently tell them to call my office number and schedule their appointment for corn and callus scraping. I love to write into Barry Block’s PM… Read more »

Not a mention of foot/p word. Guess he needs to sell books. He’s an ‘actor’ too. Wow, and a schmuck
I cannot believe Elliot the Idiot wrote a book about the Catskills. I’ll bet Barry bought the book on kindle for fugly Hermine to read.
Block prints it SO HE CAN SELL IT! He’s another one of those podiatric drop out opportunists that has hurt podiatry’s evolution. Have you UNSUBSCRIBED FROM HIM YET?
YOU GOT TO BE EFFEN KIDDING ME?!! Still? Yet? Again? Another effen meeting about the quack boards? This has been going on since I graduated in 1976 and it’s still NOT RESOLVED. STUPID STUBBORN LIFERS STILL CAN’T GET THE RIGHT ANSWER. Maybe that’s why they were rejected from medical school. TIMES UP. TURN YOUR BLUE BOOKS IN. IF YOU DIDN’T GET IT RIGHT BY NOW YOU FLUNK! The “self described” “surgical” board is pompus, narcissitic and delusional thinking they’re more like DOCTORS THEN THE REST OF YOU. The PODIATRY sx. board.

HEY? Does anyone see the truth changing? No? Well, keep trying lifers. We’ll keep reporting.
Podiatry? What’s that?
Ceteris Paribus: if all other relevant things, factors, or elements remain unaltered you have podiatry. Same of the same with a heapin’ helpin’ of mimicry.
Okay lifers what percentage of the human body consists of human cells?
1. 10%
2. 100%
3. 30.%
4. 50%
Actual test question on USMLE/FLEX/ECFMG and easy. No fair cheating with ChatDPM
Bring gastworthlessback from Hawaii!
A dirty profession from its founding to the present. AGAIN, another battle between boards because the only board that has “some” value is the sx board and it NEVER LETS YOU FORGET IT. It uses its control to divide the profession. Because NO ONE REALLY WANTS TO BE A PODIATRIST everyone tries to run away from it and claim to be a “surgeon”.. Even the surgery board won’t use the word podiatrist. In order to keep themselves ABOVE THE REST they use unrealistic requirements and procedures many won’t be able to obtain. Because the training opportunities are so poor in… Read more »
Using podiatry and education in the same sentence? Podiatry is a trade school!
As the LIFERS battle cry is SAVE THE DPM, the mainstream chuckles as they watch podiatry sink.
Podiatry is POO
Most. Dp wtfs were deluded and /or demoralized, they’ll continue to drink swill bc it’s all they know. They believe statist msm and thk it’s ‘news’…why would they suddenly grow a brain and realize they’ve been completed psy opd and duped?!
Ahh, there are LIFERS marauding these posts. This antipathy toward criticism only enhances and motivates the truth tellers to go FULL STEAM ANTI-PODY. Make a point to post all the BS about the wtf everywhere on the web. Send letters, chat up a storm, protest podiatry liferdom. Bring down the emperors of podiatry through speaking up and spreading the word that PODIATRY IS A HOAX. VOTE DOWN SISSIES VOTE DOWN coward ass pansies and kiss those MASTER’S BUTTS.
LIFERS are DOODY HEADS
They’re HERE, they slither in voting in disapproval. It’s happened in the past at the UNCENSORED SITE and NOW…in a full throttle onslaught have gradually crept up, like a NY fungi spreading to the the ankle.
99% of podiatrists CAN’T treat the ankle in New York. The LAW forbids them because podiatric training is not competent enough. But, will the quack colleges change? Nope. Too good a deal acting like a big shot and threatening the student-customers who hope to go into the podiatry BUSINESS. If podiatry were to change many would not be able to compete or complete
