Overdetermined was a word coined by Freud. It referred to the convergence of factors that made personality, or neurosis, a sure thing. By age five, he argued, it was all over: what we were at five was what we would be at eighty-five. Of course, most of us evolve a bit, knock the rough edges off, manage to become a bit more mature. But fundamentally speaking, we remain the same person for all of our lives. Was mr chasskin who is in his 70s the same when he was 5? Many would argue yes.

Well, we can’t pull a “Crooks” on them. You can’t vote them out because they’re all going to be Lifers, and anyway, you must PAY THE APMA to be allowed to vote. That’s PAY TO BE ALLOWED. (real freedom, huh?) Imagine if podopoliticians got a hold on elections outside of podiatry. You’d have to PAY TO VOTE.
The ONLY THING TO DO IS KEEP EXPOSING THE LIES, DROP OUT OF THE APMA AND SCHOOL ALUMNI’S, AND DISCOURAGE STUDENTS FROM ENTERING PODIATRY SO THE SCHOOLS GO BELLY UP. Podiatry will either have to change or GO OUT OF EXISTENCE.

Jeff, a challenging question. As the years pass, despite the efforts of many, the impediment to change: intensify and integrate the basic sciences, add core clerkships has been sidetracked by the hardcore lifers. Podiatry schools remain in the sub-relevant to the mainstream as they were twenty, thirty or more years ago. The calls for change ignored, and a rigid insouciance of pod-leaders, the grim incubus of steadfast navigation remains … The how is the consequence – The real world circumstances which have decreased enrollment in P schools, shabby reimbursement, non-inclusion, and rise of the extenders. The consequences of not adapting… Read more »

A venture where corn cutters roamed the streets of New Yawk trimming toenails & scrapping calluses for MONEY. The BUSINESS ASPECT of chiropodiatry came first and was (some would argue “is”) the back bone of what is now called podiatry. Accepting PODIATRY “as it is” makes sense. (as you stated). The fundamental goal and prize for chiropodiatry was MONEY along with CONTROL of the local chiropody community. Accepting your premise that it is money and control, NOT… Read more »

They will not listen. They will not change. They will not accept… Read more »
My posting increased after Seth posted about my comments in PM News.
Your posting increased. Does that EXCITE you Mr. Chaskin? Is it as stimulating as looking at a “shoe picture”? Just think. You’re getting attention for a change. Non complimentary attention, but I think you’ll take what you can get. I wonder about your upbringing and where and how you were educated.
My upbringing. I have conservative values. I am a Republican. If an individual such as myself advocates for positive change and others agree with them, they get positive and negative attention. I am friendly with many members at the NYSPMA and appreciate the president of the APMA who I feel is an awesome leader. I feel PM news is a nationwide leader who published some of my posts. I am proud to know Barry, be a member of the APMA and state society. If the APMA is captian of our ship to success please join our cruise, sit back and… Read more »
The would be Trump assassin, Crooks, was a Republican too Mr. Chaskin. Hiding you’re illness behind the Republican party fails, as you have in all of your posts.
Being proud that you’re friends with a “man” that bans and censors the truth, sells e mail numbers to make himself rich, and who has spent decades sculpting a purposely planned positive position to make podiatry “look” good is nothing for a NORMAL man to be proud of.
Which shoe picture do you get the most stress relief from? Have you seen a DOCTOR yet?
Eddy
There’s no solutions presented. N o action taken. Honestly, it gets tiring with all the griping and smearing. We want change! But How??!
Well, we can’t pull a “Crooks” on them. You can’t vote them out because they’re all going to be Lifers, and anyway, you must PAY THE APMA to be allowed to vote. That’s PAY TO BE ALLOWED. (real freedom, huh?) Imagine if podopoliticians got a hold on elections outside of podiatry. You’d have to PAY TO VOTE.
The ONLY THING TO DO IS KEEP EXPOSING THE LIES, DROP OUT OF THE APMA AND SCHOOL ALUMNI’S, AND DISCOURAGE STUDENTS FROM ENTERING PODIATRY SO THE SCHOOLS GO BELLY UP. Podiatry will either have to change or GO OUT OF EXISTENCE.
Jeff, a challenging question. As the years pass, despite the efforts of many, the impediment to change: intensify and integrate the basic sciences, add core clerkships has been sidetracked by the hardcore lifers. Podiatry schools remain in the sub-relevant to the mainstream as they were twenty, thirty or more years ago. The calls for change ignored, and a rigid insouciance of pod-leaders, the grim incubus of steadfast navigation remains … The how is the consequence – The real world circumstances which have decreased enrollment in P schools, shabby reimbursement, non-inclusion, and rise of the extenders. The consequences of not adapting… Read more »
Eddy, you’ve successfully dissected out the reason for podiatry’s inertia-less course. We need to realize that podiatry (chiropody) evolved(?) from(?) BUSINESS NOT SCIENCE! A venture where corn cutters roamed the streets of New Yawk trimming toenails & scrapping calluses for MONEY. The BUSINESS ASPECT of chiropodiatry came first and was (some would argue “is”) the back bone of what is now called podiatry. Accepting PODIATRY “as it is” makes sense. (as you stated). The fundamental goal and prize for chiropodiatry was MONEY along with CONTROL of the local chiropody community. Accepting your premise that it is money and control, NOT… Read more »
Yeah, the podiatry ship is the Titanic. The APMA is the incompetent, negligent Captain, Mr. Chaskin is the passenger who dresses as a woman to sneak aboard the life boat, and Barry Block is trying to SELL TICKETS for those boats. Dirty podiatry.
Or the homemade bric a brack ocean gate “submarine” with greedy billionaires, trust funders etc. who imploded due to avarice and lust for more

Nobody I know is being extorted for money. Dues are voluntary.
Life is short and so is happiness. Please smile and be happy.
You’re WRONG AGAIN Mr. Chaskin! You have NO say if you’re not an APMA MEMBER. If you’re not an APMA MEMBER YOU CAN’T VOTE. YOU CAN’T VOTE IF YOU DON’T PAY. That IS EXTORTION MR. CHASKIN. It’s kinda like the Board Business. You can’t keep certification if you DON’T PAY. If you don’t pay they threaten to turn you in. If they turn you in you can’t make a living. So… they EXTORT MONEY from you so you can feed your family. I call that extortion. Is your devotion to the APMA due to some cultural loyalty or are you… Read more »
1. If you don’t pay they threaten to turn you in???
What are you talking about. The APMA cares about us. The APMA is a very fine organization with fine leadership and high ethical standards.
I am proud to be a member. My opinion is after you take a good look at the APMA s fine leadership, you too will want to join.
2. I remember speaking with Barry and that he told me he does not read pod post anymore.
3. Please only say positive statements about the APMA. Please do not refer to the name Titanic.
The Titanic sunk.
Maybe you don’t know it, Mr. Chaskin, because you’re not ACFAS Board Certified in Surgery or are you?! The surgical board will “turn you into” the hospitals and facilities saying you are NO LONGER CERTIFIED if you don’t send them their check. “Wet their beak”, so to speak. Don’t you know this? I wonder how many would bother to re-up if they weren’t coerced to do so? I’m wondering when the quack colleges will catch on and say if you don’t pay your alumni dues you will not be considered an alumnus! Don’t put it past those dirty mercenary foot… Read more »
You seem to cherish giving orders Mr. Chaskin. “do not refer, do not read, cease and desist. Don’t say Titanic”!. Hail! Chaskin! Are you kidding me Mr.? Don’t be so presumptuous that you can order anyone what to say or not say. I didn’t think you could slip any lower but you just did.
You are an embarrassment to podiatry. I think you’d be an embarrassment to shoe salesmen.

There is again a common thread that binds many podiatrists together..
Yeah Dihn, and they hang themselves with it
There’s a commonality with many of them.
Sunrise sunset
Depends on the latitude and longitude.
Here’s another example why “lifers” are killing podiatry. You’ve heard of Elliot Udell, right? In the past he was a popular lifer lecturer and a political figure. Well, notoriety doesn’t make you smart it just makes you known. Can you find the error in Udell’s thinking and see where his lifer propagandized, brain washed mind takes podiatry down the WRONG path? Udell says, It’s NOT the degree that determines competence but the TRAINING. (the argument being that the wonderful dpm is no different from the dumb MD, it’s just the training, don’t you know) Well, he FAILS to acknowledge that… Read more »
Elliot Udell came up with a brilliant argument.
The podiatric Medical schools are fine institutions.
Please respect our fine profession.
Smile, be happy and understand podiatrists took an oath to help their patients.
Once again, thank you APMA for allowing for a vote to change the definition of podiatry.
We are beginning a new cruise towards the success of our profession with the APMA as captain of our ship. Please consider joining the APMA.
The are NOT medical schools, can not be till they have rotations in all the core clinical subjects like medicine, pediatrics OB-Gyn and psychiatry. Its all about your insecurity that you want to say you went to..Podiatric Medical School…..there is no such thing
Dear “clinician”. You seem like you were one of the good ones. I’m sure your humility helped influence some of the good pods that went to OCPM.
I believe you’re intentionally talking stupid to get attention and deflect from Barry Block’s propaganda business. Either way, you’re DISINGENUOUS and a classic example of why podiatry and podiatrists have damaged, untrustworthy, unwholesome personalities in it.
You’re picture should be in all guidance offices of WHY NOT TO GO INTO PODIATRY.
Robert, let us rejoice because of the fine leadership of the APMA. The positive reasons to join the APMA should be the focus of discussion here at pod post.
Please smile and be happy.
I’m not for censoring, but if there ever was a “gadfly”, Mr. Chaskin is it.
Robert, I doubt that Seth will ever censor me.
He allows me to rebuild opinions even if he might disagree with them.
As the Biden Dementia problem dominates the media and concern for the mental well being of the aged is spotlighted, I for one, can’t help thinking that Mr. Chaskin needs a Psychiatric-Neurological examination. This is evidenced by his latest absurd statement in Barry Block’s shoe and toenail news. Chaskin wants us to believe and accept that it’s the PODIATRIST CODE OF CONDUCT THAT PROTECTS PATIENTS. That is, these “honorable” NON MD foot technicians will, of their OWN ACCORD, not treat something systemic they “lack competence in”. Apparently STATE LEGISLATORS don’t trust a “code of conduct” to rein non MD’s in… Read more »
I wish somehow you could take the reins of this profession and guide it to new heights! This profession sorely needs proper leadership; understatement of the year!
The foot job is permanently gonzo because its constituency are morons and buffoons led by hucksters and hustlers.
Robert, schmiden has had senility for ages; sick of being gaslit by the fake new govt and its fake “news” media of his stuttering or other gaslighting lies by this shitty govt and it ‘s complicit subjects. It insulting to thinking Men, that all of a sudden the “news” is so appalled by schmiden etc etc all planned and theatre-like chapskins.— a clown who smiles alot and loves starring at shoe pictures for” stress relief”….he is likely a plant-shill by organized podiatry to distract from the real issues. In essense, he is likely a propagandist too.
Yeah Chaskin is a tool for Block, the APMA, and the Lifer cult. He’ll deny but I won’t believe him.
Think Chaskin made the neg vote? I do. Despite “beating him like a rug” he still just doesn’t get how he looks the fool.
Robert, I did not make any positive or negative vote. By the way, the more you mention about me, the more likely I am to post. It is fun posting. Please say nice things about the APMA an organization dedicated to helping others and helping our profession. Very fine leadership is the key to any organization’s sucess. So many podiatrists look up to the APMA.
I don’t like your threats Mr. Chaskin and I WILL NOT follow the Rules you want! Who taught you that you’re special and should be followed? You’ve got the wrong fella if you think you’ll change me or any GOOD man for that matter. You know, I don’t think I like you Mr. Chaskin. You don’t seem to be good at the core.
Robert, I am respectfully requesting that you cease and desist saying I am a tool for Block and the APMA. I believe the APMA is a fine organization.
APMA has Done nothing to advance the profession….state three things it has done on its own….you cant
Dr. Chaskin …………………may I suggest that you, your foolishness and your stupidity in general, disappear from this site. Stay in your office across from the auto body collision center and stay inside your windows with bars on them. You may or may not be a tool for Barry Block, but you certainly are the same kind of fool, as he is. Thank goodness your friend Barry, never practiced law, he would have failed miserably.
If any editor posts something about someone, they could expect that person will post back and increase their postings. If more people respond, more rebuttal postings may occur.
How can I disappear from a site that posts about me? I believe Seth welcomes anyone he posts about to rebut, agree or disagree with what he posts.
fools and podiatry. chaskinnitis
So what you’re saying Mister is that despite looking the fool, being proven wrong over and over again you FEEL A NEED TO ASSUAGE THE PAIN YOUR MIND FEELS when you lack attention. I can see why you hurt. Was it your parents, school mates, spouse, etc. that made you feel so insecure and needy that you make PURPOSEFUL SILLY STATEMENTS JUST TO GET ATTENTION? A “NORMAL” PERSON wouldn’t continue as you are. I say again, I think you need to be examined by the STATE to see if you’re safe to deal with the public. A STATE MD PSYCHIATRIST… Read more »
I request you cease and desists shilling for podiatry. You said you’re a “friend” of Block and you said you get relief from his shoe picture and you PAY MONEY to the APMA even though you complained for years your failure to move because podiatry didn’t give you the “tools” to move to the states you wanted to move to. In my world that makes you a “tool”.
collision podiatry- mr chasskined. or barred podiatry.
“CEASE AND DESIST”. Sounds like you’re being counseled by “your friend”, Mister Barry Block, the drop out podiatrist-lawyer-shoe pervert and ad salesman.
Robert stop immediately stating” sounds like I am being counseled by my friend.”
To the best of my knowledge my friend told me he does not currently read pod post.
shylock propagandist is your “friend” chadskind. that speaks volumes
I’m not sure why this needs any attention. He made zero sense and sounded like Biden at a debate. We Beat medicare!!!
Man, when I guy looking like that calls you a CHEAT YOU BETTER CHANGE OR FIND A NEW JOB. BASICALLY HE’S CALLING PODIATRY A DIRTY PROFESSION. Where have we heard that before?
