Supergroups and I mean real Supergroups (not those dumb ones Ornstein tried a while ago). The fact is the Village Podiatry SuperGroups have won. They are everywhere. Supergroups are growing in all areas. 2-3 Podiatrists in a practice is too small. If you are not in a SuperGroup or a Medical Group you are in trouble. The fact is this is where Podiatry is going and not much can be done to stop it.
SETH your future with this site is secure. As long as there is a Barry Block and delusional lifers there is a non ending stream of lies and misleads that will have to be corrected. First lets get Pinker and Levine out of the way. Really Pinker? don’t run barefoot. Levine says shoes wear out. Change shoes about every 500 miles or when you get you oil changed. One quack wants to know IF he should treat and BILL wound care on those in hospice. Uh, they’re in hospice because they only have a few days to live MISTER. They’re… Read more »
Danny Boy—-any comments regarding Robert’s facts, truths, and realities?
If I were a potential student I would worry about spending all that money, and not being able to get a license to practice because of a residency shortage.
I applied 3 times. Got denied after 30 years experience and being board certified by abpm.
30 years ago was so much better.
Again, for the 90th time Danny Boy–podupetry does NOT does NOT does NOT have a “residency”–that term is ONLY for MDs and DOs per the AMA. MDs and DOs do residency with ACGME and ABMS regulations. Podupetry INTENTIONALLY uses misrepresentations and ambiguities to sell its shit to fools. They rely on that ambiguity of doctor/non doctor, the fake term–“residency” “journal” etc..etc what is wrong with your pody ‘brain’–that you can’t nor will not understand truth. You are attached to your facts, which are not truths. That’s a mental illness. You failed to get a pody trainershit/followshit –in essense, they fucked… Read more »
You mean you fell for that ABPM scam? It’s a “useless piece of paper” that EXTORTS you. If insurance companies and hospitals really understood what a meaningless certificate it is it would not be a VALID TICKET. As long as the ABPM can con “agencies” WITH SHREWD RHETORIC it may have a modicum of use. It is a thin ticket that allows one to be a VERY SMALL step above PURE CHIROPODY. No one is going to ask a wtf for a consultation when real MD specialists are available, except for one thing. “CONSULT TO TRIM TOENAILS”
What is one permitted, legally to do with a “abpm” “certification”?!? Other than toenails, fungal nails, and pasting crap on feet?
The Podiatry colleges: Centers of lying, disinformation, ball busting students, Run by those who are failures in life but got a DPM degree and are too scared to practice in the real world or no one wants them. From administration down to the clinicians.
Here is a sum up of this QUACK TRADE AFTER A HALF A CENTURY: “We SHOULD be able to sign for shoes ourselves”! That’s the status of the NON MD foot technician in 2021. He said we should be able to “sit at the same table with MD’s”. No you shouldn’t. They’re DOCTORS WHO WENT TO MEDICAL SCHOOL AND HAVE FULL LICENSES. Podiatrists have neither! They ask why the APMA IS FAILING THEM? How stupid do you have to be not to see? The APMA HAS NO INCENTIVE TO CHANGE. TO CHANGE WOULD PUT THEM OUT OF A JOB AND… Read more »
danny boyz thinks he’s “brilliant”—–that says it all.
I never said I thought I was brilliant. I said a physician told me she thought I was brilliant. Podiatrists posting at pod post give different opinions.
More important than being brilliant is kindness and compassion for others.
No Danny Boy, you called jokesph “brilliant” (a drug dealer package insert re reader) and thought shlock the barryster was a good friend and brilliant. Are you demented, and/or at retirement age? It’s in writing just like your silly shoe stress reliefs, and stupid musak. Might be time to hang it up. Just some opinions expressing that bullshit compassion and kindness as they fucked you over.
you also stated even if jokesph making $5mill a year was great because of all the “knowledge” he was sharing with you…..drug dealer package insert re reader. Demented and/or a cognitive problem danny boy–might want to thk about retirement–just some opinions and kindess, compassion and bullshit
Dan, what was it about truth and reality that scared you so much? Why were you so adverse to truth? is that pathnogmonic for the DMP stamp?
That’s a STUPID PLATITUDE. REAL discoveries don’t come from kindness but brilliance. You’re ALWAYS WRONG DANIEL CHASKIN DPM
http://www.journalofpodiatry.com has a powerpoint presentation. Robert, how can you ever say I am always wrong if you do not look at the powerpoint presentation?
Please examine http://www.journalofpodiatry.com
Before stating I am always wrong.
By the way, when I feel insulted I brought up this website.
WHere O where was dorsiflexion? was it hiding on the frontal plane? why did you appear brain dead? was that a common feature of Dp wtfs? or silly shoe pics bringing lotsa “stress (cough) relief”…during the shamdemic
Why did you have such a difficult time with reality and truth? What was it about the brainwashing, propaganda, and cultism that embodies podupetry? Podiatrick ‘patriotism’ does not involve telling the truth. That would be a “traitor”
why are so many posters not using their real names?
Wow Robert. This post is a home run. You touch all the bases. Think of the irony the Wyoming Pod is pleading his case for equality before the high court of Barry Block. A man who has published a blog for many years, mocking and devaluating the very same profession he proports to support. Podiatry seems to dance to the song, legislate don’t educate. They want a third party to grant them equality without themselves doing any work. Podiatry is really a dumpster fire. Oh, BTW, if you can’t figure out how to prescribe terninafine, maybe you should consider another… Read more »
Terbinafine (sorry,)
maybe the big “dr’s of the foot can ask a PA to Rx and if they should run lab tests. They sure didn’t learn much in their QUACK SCHOOLS.
Super Groups of DPMs, Mini Groups of DPMs, IPA groups of DPMs. its the last resort folks, rounding third and heading for the unemployment zone. Reimbursement dropping faster than a flying toe nail. The savior is not the orthopedic groups because your still an employee and if they make you a partner what’s that 2 percent worth? LOL. But the ads for going to Pod school ( its not medical school) have sky rocket and watch how deceitful they are.
They need to SELL seats for that consilation prize for the failed dream-Eddie. There’s an ass for every seat (Barnum Baileys). Step right up! Step into #2. Another hustle run by hucksters. A useless fake “degree” for hundreds of thousands in debt and wasted time to do….? toenail clipping and selling elective hammertoe and bunion “surgery” to neurotic, over catted white girls
Pods CAN’T be partners with DOCTORS, at least not in a medical sense and in New York.
Aww! poor technician doesn’t want anyone to know that. WHY?! Want to keep the FRAUDULENT LIE ALIVE so you can pretend you did go to medical school? Don’t want anyone to know that YOU ARE NOT ‘just like’ and don’t even qualify to be in business with actual DOCTORS? See a psychologist to get your mind straight. PODIATRY SCHOOL just used your insecurities to take your money. Remember, they said they never guaranteed success just a piece of paper with a “degree” know one recognizes
I’m listening to a White House briefing. The Corona VIRUS aspect has been a big portion, and on multiple times Jen Psaki referred to the LACK OF VACCINATORS. She says we need to be sure they’re COMPETENT to give an injection. Well, where’s that Brad Wenstrup Military Surgeon and Congressman sticking up for that FAKE SURGICAL CERTIFICATE and pointing to Podiatry as a source? I’m sure he wants to stay MILES AWAY from that boondoggle. Yeah, I CAN TOUCH THE BACK OF THE FOOT BUT AM CONSIDERED INCOMPETENT TO INJECT THE ARM OR CUT A FINGERNAIL! How about them apples… Read more »
There needs to be a lawsuit for false advertising and intentional misrepresentation–words like physician, surgeon, integral member of the health team etc….YET a DP WTF cannot give a Hanks dx shot?!?!?! They’re NOT competent. $300K+++ in debt, YET a DP WTF is NOT competent to give the shot…what the bleep does that tell YOU?!?!?
That tells us that PODIATRY SCHOOL MAY BE THE MOST CLEVER FRAUD IN ALL OF EDUCATIONAL HISTORY!

You will see Hal Ornstein and 3 smiling idiots.
The 3 smiling idiots do not realize that Hal has his hand in their pockets.
They don’t realize Hal is making money off of them.
Hey Barry, have you yet to see that Hal is a thief ?
If not, you prove to me, that you are the fool I know you to be.
Super groups are nothing more than a temporary refuge for podiatrists. In the finality, the collective abuse of any and all money extracting actions will ultimately fail. Group abuse of diagnostic studies, such as imaging and laboratory studies will be elucidated by payers and will be eliminated. Analogous to a typical pyramid scheme, “big money” will be distributed to a few. The working podiatrists will make a “nice comfortable” living………less than $200,000 a year. That is fine so long as the group participant understands the ceiling. Demand for selling products, orthotics, questionable therapies, essentially quota making, will be the rule.… Read more »
Sales ASSociate. Hustlers, hucksters, opportunists
Well reasoned analysis Hallux
SUPERGROUPS ARE NECESSARY because podiatry by itself is a weak sister. It is because of the FAILURE OF THE APMA, THE LIFERS, AND THE PROPAGANDISTS to do anything tangible, thus requiring hyperbolic rhetoric. aka, LIES! Look at the FOOLS who Barry Block features. Podiatrist ACE standing next to a SHOE TREE that says please don’t touch the shoes. Or, podiatrist Christine MILLER whom the dpm wasn’t doctoral enough so she got a Ph.D. in what? Crusader history! at the SACRED Medical Order. Wow! Now that’s a bizarre certificate. I wonder why she didn’t study the complex field of ORTHOTICS and… Read more »
YES!!! Remember that person advertizing shylock’s propaganda rag for the carribean mon podiatry theatrical pathway to get that “MD” thing….whatever happened ? Crickets, faded away like a corporate lackey. Also, mr jonnnes, that vision 2015, 2089, 2100, whatever, was a fucking joke to keep you paying dues and fees for that “excellent” ASSociation with lotsa someday talk–that ASSociation accomplishments are: eating alot, firstclass air travel , deluxe hotel stays, and more eating, with pep talk speeches/minutes/gavel clanking/photo ops smiling
Robert and podposters (except for a few) are really the only persons saying outright “This pod thing is finished. A ‘profession’ of buffoons will never recover or be great again in any conceivable way.” This is so painfully obvious that I’m amazed no one else seems to grasp it, nor understand how reality works.
This idealism and happy talk delusions appears to an existential need in most dpwtfs, I fear, to constantly hold out for the typical us bullshit, of ” the happy ending” and sell dreams, hopes, and illusions to the desperate masses clamoring for relevance.
Part II: This again highlights the difference between intellectual and ontological knowledge. What was so astonishing was the lifers’ ontological blindness. Their “minds” were like the space between 2 parallel lines, 4″ apart: infinite in one direction, extremely narrow in the other. This ‘patriotism’ for podiatry, this notion that there is still hope and that things can be turned around–if this, if that, we need tos, we ought tos, we’re better than this, we shoulds—it’s actually f##king embarrassing and emblematic of psychosis-a loss of contact with reality. Meanwhile, many so -called ‘hi-IQ’ dpwtfs do believe in such nonsense, and fill… Read more »
