You have to give credit to all those lifers from the foot tech schools, APMA and all the other foot clubs. You have to be amazed. What line of bullshit they have to cause a student to get into debt that he can never repay. Wasting the early years of his life with the final insult spending an additional 3 years in a “program” only to come out to spend your day cutting toenails. So strong is the cool aid that when the students visit our offices they assume that unlike their future specialty of ankle surgery or sports medicine… Read more »
It was a SUPERB con. Well created to get your money with their plastic smiles and loads of bullsht someday talk
Where is old man Weiss? I miss his cutting edge articles on podiatry frontiers.
Yeah, and I can’t wait for grandfather Levy to put us on his knee and READ US A STORY THAT THE MD’S wrote.
likely censored by fuckerberg
Yup, tech owns the world–serious RICO shit. Monopolies and folks that got played. Fug em. Pieces of shit. Facism follies
Barry Block CLAIMS 20,000 “interested parties” (ie., not necessarily podiatrists). In his last survey, and for most others, there are <1,000 respondents. The last one was pretty typical with 672 responding. Well, out of 20,000 that makes a response rate of about 3.3%. I suspect the readership rate isn't much beyond that. So advertisers, how many "interested parties" are really seeing the ad your giving Barry Block MONEY for? This last survey essentially said 79% are AGAINST MORE BIOMECHQUACTICS. THAT'S AGAINST. The push for 75 cases in 3 years is soundly trashed. Perhaps there's hope that podiatry with its EXPOSURE… Read more »
That academic paragon, The Clevland Jewish News, touts nursing home nail clipper Mr. Feinberg who got in early with the Covid vaccine. Why would a nursing home (Menorah Manor) clipper want the vaccine? Maybe because it would allow him to continue his toenail trimming business because he was “vaccinated”? Keep that money flowing even if you have to experiment on yourself. Another “top docs” pick this time in my backyard. I know most of those guys. Let me just say, “I know most of those guys”. Things are tough for Block. He’s got to work to make that money so… Read more »
Menorah Manor.
Yah just can’t make this shit up. What a fucking a clown car podiatry was
Are New York podiatric foot and ankle surgeons giving covid vaccinations? Is NYCPM involved with vaccination s? WALGREENS is
Podiatric foot and ankle surgeons is a podiatric invented term. They are all just podiatrist working, at best, UNDER a Nurse, and who’s scope time is about to expire like the technicians they are. Walgreens has REAL Pharmacists. Pharmacists are a MAINSTREAM SPECIALTY. There are no schools of PHARM-DIATRY producing pretenders.
The term, “ podiatric” is required bc they’re not doctors. They’re podiatrists.
is the Hanks dx plandemic shot time restriction up or just a few more days then those “doctors” can go back to selling foot dreck
Had two future Pod students stop by my office over the holidays, Hey, I wasnt a big GPA guy myself but I survived Pod school. But these two……. wtf does a botany major and the other Civil war Major !!!!! have to do with becoming a doctor. I guess thats the question, are they becoming doctors or as others have stated, foot technicians. Both had GPA s under 3.2 and both drank the kool aid, one wants to do Pediatric Podiatry , the other reconstructive surgery. LOL. They watched me cut nails and I said this will be part of… Read more »
Once you have a successful SALES CAMPAIGN don’t change it. The Quack Colleges have gotten away with the LIE that you can be a “specialist in a specialty”. Pediatric podiatry, forensic podiatry, even surgical podiatry are NON EXISTENT full specialties. The only TRUE SPEICALTY in ALL podiatry businesses is the TOENAIL PRACTICE. That’s ubiquitous, uniform, and near rock solid as a bedrock of foot technicianship. Everything else is a LITTLE frosting on a HALF BAKED CAKE.
Podiatry was never, ever about medicine. It was a business opportunity, a corporation who’s only job was to extract money from dipshits “patients” (customers), its imbecilic followers, and the (corrupt) government. Think Ghastworthless as the “CEO” and the DMPS being the lackey, clueless employees.
It ‘s 2021. Nothing’s changed except the underwear.
Don’t fix what’s broken. Status quo all the way. Just ask Bitch McDonnel.
Where o where was dorsiflexion show yourself puhlease, dont. be. shyyyy! Now that definitely a podiatrust! For the next 4yrs, drop ur pants, bend over, spread em wide, and say I’m a yankee dooddly dipshit, while eating a hot dog and waving the #37 flag
If I was an Ortho foot and ankle MD, How could I let these half wit DPMs do surgery? How does the government allow this? The orthopedic surgeon in my professional building went to Colgate University, Med school at Univ of Rochester, Residency at Yale Hospital. Trauma orthopedic Surgery. Got to give Pod school props on their advertising campaign. and with the current social media no truth need be ever told…plays right into Pod schools hands.
Podiatry will take what it can get to keep the lie going. Who knows what compliment, back slap, cocktail or dinner incentive induced a positive light about podiatry. But like “Mars” said, “no TRUTH ever be told and the ROI of a dinner or a dinner with a PLAQUE RECOGNIZING “COOPERATION BETWEEN THE ORTHOPEDIC AND PODIATRY COMMUNITY” is worth it’s weight in GOLD for advertising for new student suckers and to keep the foot business FRANCHISES GOING. Podiatry leaders are ‘TRICKSTERS, HUCKSTERS AND HUSTLERS making a nice life for THEMSELVES.
Oh, how could I foget the shoes with pidgeons on it? So professional Barry. I’ll bet you got excited with that shoe picture. Does your wife enjoy them as much as you do? Why would anyone advertise in that perverted blog? (unless, perhaps, they’re also charlatans)
Man Roberto, it’s over. We’re fkd. Doesn’t matter which aisle we’re on. 2 arms on the same monster. Like the idiots in shlock’s silly rag. It was simply silly and bad joke. It was entertainment, like theater, step right up, and step into shit. dog shit for brains. Nothing will change for the asleep/walking dead
Barry Block’s reasoning is about as mature as his picture. He wants you to believe that podiatry NEEDS MORE SCHOOLS to be accepted. Sure. We need more poorly trained technicians. Who’s getting a kick back? Barry, for misleading or Harkless for pulling off a sale? Block talks about the TEXAS school being next to our ALLOPATHIC COLLEAGES (read MD). Rubbing elbows (eddy) is about as far as podiatry gets to medicine. They can say I went to the same school as an MD. Of course its a lie. With the other 9 franchises failing, building one near the Mexican Boarder… Read more »
Good riddance and good night. Adios podiatry
Was podiatry a Potemkin ‘village? ‘
As predicted in 1970. Podiatry will die a death by CPT over use and abuse by 2022. By PAs and NPs doing foot care, By the lack of students applying to Podiatry school. ( nee Podiatric Medical school lol) By the insurance industry cutting reimbursement for foot surgery to Medicaid levels. By CMS pushing all procedures to office based surgery. BY the lack of a full license. BY ego driven political hacks in the APMA. By super Egos at the ACFAS. This shall come to pass and the weeping of DPM souls and all the PAC money shall not prevent… Read more »
Podiatry may not be dead by ’22 but it is VERY SICK (MORIBUND) now. There will always be some vestige around mainly Chiropodal. Already what podiatry does is mostly minor PA level injections and ingrown toenails. Perhaps a shotgun of steroid or antifungal HOPING for a skin resolution WITHOUT EVER having an accurate diagnosis. In the days B.P (B.efore P.’a’s) podiatry had “some” standing because they could Rx and do minor carpentry. Now Nurses, Pa’s and O.D.’s can prescribe. The first two ALL OVER THE BODY FOR ALL DISEASES. Even clinical pharmacists immunize and consult ALL OVER THE BODY AND… Read more »
It’s a Potemkin village like the us empire.
Try MAs doing foot care. High school grads with a few months of MA “schooling” given Hanks Disease shots, while the Dp wtfs are Estatic that they can give shots for a special time under an “emergency” order by the new yawwk shitty “government”. Political hacks, left, right and center. Fucking clown show. A slow moving clown car crash!
OK, is there a 25th amendement for mental illness in podiatry? Leon Levy is clearly “out of it”. He quotes Celcius of 32 B.C. re rubor, calor, dolar. Well interesting history but of NO CLINICAL VALUE. Levy confusingly states re the foot being warm in gout that it’s the area surrounding inflammation that’s warm”. What?! WTF are you talking about? So, what? The foot is cool and the rest of the structures around it are warm? THIS IS NOT A DOCTOR. THIS IS A SENILE QUACK! How dare Barry Block embarass the profession with such senile statements? Well, aside from… Read more »
likely dementia or Alzheimer’s?
I honestly still still still still still cannot believe having seen my local colleague (Dr. James Hanna, DPM) smiling photo in PM News about 2 weeks ago. I just cannot forget. How he could smile with such an embarrassing press release I will never understand. Dr. Hanna is the President of the NYSPMA. He “worked hard to allow Governor Andrew Cuomo to allow podiatrists to give Covid shots up until January 13th under the supervision of a physician or nurse”. The podiatrist must show they have been thru training in CPR and how to utilize sterilization techniques along with the… Read more »
JUST TO BE CLEAR: I am not the writer calling himself Western New York Foot Care. I’m concerned (though I agree with him) because Western New York Foot Care was MY D.B.A. when I was practicing. I am not aware of giving that moniker over to anyone. So, statements made under that name SHOULD NOT BE ATTRIBUTED TO WESTERN NEW YORK FOOT CARE, ROBERT BIJAK,DPM ENTITIES. I suggest the writer modify his title so HIS STATEMENTS ARE NOT CONFUSED, ATTRIBUTED TO, OR BE LIABLE TO MYSELF.
ADDENDUM: Seth, you may want to consider this liability and suggest a change of title.
Sorry Robert,
I will definitely change my name. This is the last time you will see it. Sorry about that.
But James Hanna is a happy foolish moron with that smile on his face.
I assume Governor Cuomo knows he was dealing with an imbecile.
Thank You, very gentlemanly. Appreciate it.
Who the fuck would live in New york? It’s a shit hole
I live in UPSTATE new Yawk and agree totally. Family vs. Feces. Tough choice.
NOTE the hater placing negative votes on a legal statement! Animus for the truth is a HALLMARK OF THE PODIATRIC PERSONALITY. TO PROVE IMMATURITY AND HATE, LOOK FOR NEGATIVE VOTES ON THIS STATEMENT. Podiatrists can’t see that their OWN ACTIONS PROVE THEY DO NOT HAVE A DOCTORAL MATURITY. Medical Schools were correct in rejecting podiatrists from admission. Go read a biomechquactic book or look at a shoe picture to relax Mr. P.
why was he smiling so gleefully to be able to do something (temporarily) that a medical assistant does everyday without time restrictions.
Because podiatrists are MYOPIC. They can’t see beyond the propagandized picture of what is said they are. You’d think the proclamation by the goveror saying tht they have to be SUPERVISED BY A DOCTOR OR NURSE would wake them up realizing THEY ARE NOT DOCTORS and they were LIED TO. There is no equity. There is no parity. Podiatry remains isolated on an island as far away from the mainstream as the DODO BIRDS ON THE GALPOGOS are from mainland.
Most in the lame pod thing were pusillanimous clowns that offered nothing except dues and fees payments to their OWNERS. Walking doormats.
If left ALONE BARRY BLOCK will allow the misleading and lying in podiatry go uncensored. I am so happy to be able to EMBARASS HIM by telling the truth that he would CENSOR AND BAN. We in podiatry KNOW podiatrists love to “massage” billing codes with personal interpretations so THEY CAN GET MONEY. EX. A podiatrist thought he had an angle on billing for calluses and ipk’s (normally a NON COVERED COSMETIC SERVICE). He says he puts acid on the calluses and ipk’s so “he’s doing a “chemical destruction”!.. Known in the biz as a 17110. Surprisisngly he’s told that… Read more »
As Bob Zimmerman (“Dylan”) has said, there’s ‘facts’ and then, there’s the truth. That barrister has many facts- yet, the truth is evasive, intentionally.
Dr. Bijak,
Everything you say is so true. And very funny. But more so is the fact that everything you say is VERY SAD.
Because it is the truth and you are telling the truth. Much of it makes me cry.
OK, it is sad. But you are using the name of my former practice. Perhaps you don’t know that. Would you please consider a slight modification of the name to avoid confusion between you and the DBA I practiced under? Thanks for maintaining that clarity.
what the fuck is this nonsense of “businesses” an dba bullshit. Nazi germany? SHithole USA? Who gives a rip. Eastern Podiatry, Souther Podiatry. ASSHOLIC PODIATRY
Podiatry was started as a business of itinerant corn cutters out to “MAKE A LIVING” more than provide altruistic care to mankind. The emphasis on “success” billing codes, appearance of living “just like” DOCTORS along with SELLING (shoes and shoe inserts) supplants science. Just look at the jr. college level mentation about gout! or, an 8 y.o. with an toenail problem. What to do, what to do. HOW TO BILL HOW TO BILL! Read Kesselman’s and other billing gurus. Their exquisite, nuanced knowledge of billing supplants their scientific knowledge. So, be a DOCTOR or be a BUSINESSMAN. PODIATRY SCHOOLS have… Read more »
What’s the deal with sucktera reprints/marketing shlock every other week? Is that more filler for the propaganda tymes?
Podiatrick Stockholm Syndrome (PSS-, pronounced piss), can be defined as dp wtfs beginning to identify with—and being deeply loyal to—a a dubious “profession” that mistreats them (defined in this situation as verbal abuse, lies, fraud, corruption, embellishments, demanding overly long hours, and generally ignoring the wellbeing, emotional, and professional needs of the dp wtf). As with the captor/captive dynamic, the podiatrick “profession” is certainly in control of the dp wtfs fate (they sign the much-needed paycheck and generally can destroy your “professional” career at any time if do not pay all those dues, fees, CPME extortion rackets, board fee shake… Read more »
Dr. Titsforbrains writes into PM News. He is confused by some dermatology terminology and would like someone to explain these terms to him. This type of inquiry is common to PM News. He is mystified by terms such as “flexural or papulosquamous”. Dr. Levy and yet another idiot continue the PT block washes out the bad uric acid idea. PM News continues to print this and other quackery. Non-MD/Ph.D commentary on covid. Musings by Elliott Udell, still seeking just the right car to drive with rabbinical blessings. Lehrman, Poggio, Kesselman and the rest of the How Do I Bill this… Read more »
There’s BM new facts, and then there’s truth. Printing the truth is NOT in their best interest.
Barry Block’s business is predicated on a + view of podiatry so his advertisers can SELL things used in the podiatry business.
Leave the lies to a NEW YAWK PODIATRY FAMILY. FOOT TECHNICIAN AND BUSINESSMAN LARRY LANDAU IS THE “KING OF NEW YAWK” BECAUSE HE HAS A NICE LITTLE BUSINESS GOING WITH DA FEET. HIS WIFE’S IN THE BUSINESS AND HE GOT HIS DAUGHTER IN THE BUSINESS! How proud. Nepotism, businesss, and money is in the foot biz. He’s the OWNER of “New Yawk Foot and Ankle”. CATCHY NAME. Sound grandiose but he not even an actual DOCTOR, NOR IS HIS WIFE OR HIS DAUGHTER. ALL ARE NON MD FOOT TECHNICIANS. Pomp and misrepresentation runs in foot land. ACFAS has new ‘BOARD’… Read more »
Neponomics runs the shit show sprinkled with some pomp and circumcision of haughty businass names to impress the idiots
Yes it’s a crooked dirty profession that exaggerates its importance. LET ME ADD TO THE EXHAUSTIVE PROOF ALREADY PROFFERED TO SUPPORT THAT CONTENTION. I recieved a copy of “HELIX” ,THE NAME FOR THE REAL MEDICAL SCHOOL AND UNIVERSITY NEWS MAGAZINE OF ROSALIND FRANKLIN UNIVERSITY and the CHICAGO MEDICAL SCHOOL. It was 41 pages. I went through it twice. NOTHING ABOUT THE FOOT QUACK SCHOOL! Tons about PhamD’s., PA’s, PT, and Nurse Anesthetist programs, and of course, the MD programs. They even featured the CHIROPRACTOR WHO HEADS THE ANATOMY DEPARTMENT, MARK GRUMET, D.C.!! (yes that’s DC). See? Even Chiropractors treat the… Read more »
