Yep thats right the 1st MTP implant not being included on class action lawsuits is still promoted on some Podiatrists websites.
Dr. Rachel Ballach and Danielle Butto are the guilty party here.
Cartiva® Implant – Hartford County, CT – Dr. Rachel Balloch

Why did they pay Gastworth? Tinkleman, Taubmans, Dihns, Et al? They did nothing. 2 more years for an fkg online PA credential to be an assistant doctor helper?! The Dmp degree triad is and was a bad joke because of bad men and women in this farce of a poorfession .
PODIATRY IS A TRADE WHERE LYING IS ACCEPTED AS A NECESSITY TO “DO BUSINESS GOING”. PODIATRY NEEDS A FULL INVESTIGATION AND PODIATRISTS SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO HAVE A DISCLAIMER POSTED IN THEIR OFFICE THAT THEY ARE NOT REGULAR ACTUAL DOCTORS. THE PUBLIC HAS BEEN DUPED TOO LONG. Think Barry Block or the APMA would risk THEIR business to post this?
The DPM to PA is a way to become someone’s bitch. How ya like me now bitches? “Yo bitch get me a cup of coffee.” Podiatric surgeons are easy to spot in the lounge, they’re the guys with dirt under their nails.
Dpwtf ahem ‘surgeons’ …Easy to spot in lounge?
They’re the ones with tea bags stuffed in their pockets.
…and pastry, fake sugar, swipe scrubs and shoe covers, and fart proudly. And yes, torch up a cigar.
Wow wee! All those big top big tyme podiatrickal foot snd sometimes ankle sturgeons can maybe perhaps be eligible for an online PA class, leading to a potentially might maybe PA licensure.
Great work foot clubs for keep the dpwtf “degree” stagnant and a raised eye brow .

Everything anyone remotely considering podiatry needs to know about podiatry. DPM to PA. Why/how did the foot bosses miss this?
Of course they missed it Eddy. What do podiatrists (especially quack college administrators) know about actual medicine? The world the MD’s and PA’s live in is in a galaxy far far away. Podiatry is in a galaxy with “barge cement”, phenol, Rhoadur, and shoes and wooden plaques spinning around their sun…. (the cash register).
They know how to go Malta.
Still under MD supervision.. Not a change ..
My daughter is a PA,, she does more in ortho work then a super duper DPM. PLUS she has a full license to do anything. not like DPM world
Oh, but I’ll bet she doesn’t know anything about the foot!
Think those boistering, blustering REAR FOOT CERTIFIED “gods” will get advanced credit in a P.A. program?
Naw! MANUAL technicians can’t compete in Mental arenas. A rear foot certified dpm is MEANINGLESS in mainstream medicine except as a technician doing the routine foot cases MD orthopods are too busy or too disinterested in doing. NOT EVEN THE TOP OF THE DPM’S (so they think) qualifies for extra credit as a P.A..
To make it in podiatry YOU MUST live in a made up world.
Game. SET. MATCH! PODIATRY IS TOAST. THE NAIL IS IN THE COFFIN OF THIS DIRTY PROFESSION. NEVER EVER CAN THE LIE BE SAID THAT PODIATRY IS A “DOCTORAL” “JUST LIKE” PROFESSION. AFTER 100 YEARS OF LYING AND AFTER 7 YEARS (YEAH 7 YEARS!) OF QUACK EDUCATION WHERE IS PODIATRY AFTER NOT FOLLOWING OUR ADMONISHMENTS? It’s in the positions where a DPM + 2 MORE YEARS WILL GIVE YOU A NON DOCTORAL P.A.. So, that’s like ZERO + 2= 2 AND PODIATRY IS THE ZERO! 7 YEARS OF FOOTMANSHIP =/ SHEISS TOWARD A NON DOCTORAL P.A.. What a laugh the PA’s… Read more »
There’s a medical school reject who’s head is exploding. You’ll never be an M.D. and you probably will never even be a P.A.. Yeah. I understand why you’d vote negative. You need to swipe at something. You’ve been conned. Consider taking your frustration out on those that conned you though. The QUACK schools, the APMA, BARRY BLOCK, and all the lifer-politicians. We’re the messenger (RNA). Your problem is in the NUCLEUS. But you probably only got a “C” in biology. I know it hurts. Take a sheet of paper out and write -1 a thousand times.

mr chasskins, maybe write a song about podiatry’s failures and paying dues for empty rhetoric. Say hi to a PA today, hooray! 7 years and 6 fig debts no way!
C tier actor Stuart Pankin et co….. figures. Off off off off boredway f up selling plastic crap on Sunday teevee. Only thing missing was a footbath, lotions/potions, and a shoe tree sales con.
How many times have I proven that podiatry is a DIRTY PROFESSION?! Well, let me add MORE PROOF! I’m casually watching TV on a Sunday and what do I see? A dirty podiatrist, ALLEN ZELLNER, (sp?) and his “patient” STEWY PANKIN (sp?) advertising what HALF OUR PROFESSION professes…. arch supports. “A half hour ad for “WALK FIT PLATINUM” (gold’s not good enough) orthotics for only $19.95 with a NO QUESTIONS ASKED MONEY BACK GUARANTEE! Naturally there’s a bunch of people proclaiming the $19.95 supports are miraculous. What happened to all that biomechquactis that Zellner learned in quack college? Fuggit about… Read more »

Just bc the lion smiles doesn’t mean he’s friendly .
There are some lies in podiatry so ingrained that they are accepted as truth. That’s a sign of a quack unscientific profession. I won’t list the lies most honest podiatrists know them, despise them, and expose them. Barry Block has produced a false ethos in podiatry for decades. He’s Mislead and misrepresented podiatry in a fashion that puts a positive spin on it. The mere fact that he feels a need to REPEAT AND COPY ADVERTISINGS that make podiatry look good indicates to me his prejudice. The self serving bloated meaningless HALL OF FAME is a perfect example of podiatry… Read more »
Podiatry eyes in mr saffron.
Mrs sanders’ eyes. Creepy, sinister, direful.
Podiatry eyes.
“Podiatry eyes”- Excellent. I’ve long sought a description for those disingenuous deceitful windows to the soul. “Podiatry eyes” works! Permission to steal it?
Please use it-no citation. Thank you Sir for your steadfast integrity and honesty.
Podiatry Eyes.
Absolutely – please use Robert.
She had podiatry eyes, behind them was a mind packed with primitive notions like a rodent ready to snatch the cheese between my toes. She lowered the lids on those money greens and raised em slow like Ihe curtains raising at some X-rated theatre where the floor had the gritty remains of old winos fantasies. I can still hear that voice; sand paper over velvet: “You have a serious condition,” smiled mirthlessly, gloved hands ball up on her hips. “I got the right laser if you’ve got the dough,” she said, slowly unbuttoning her top. Hmm…it was to get a… Read more »
keep going Eddy! I want to hear “the rest of the story”.
Look at those eyes. Podiatry eyes, off kilter, sinister, empty, sad, googly eyes—/with that plastic smile. Tinkleontheman had those eyes
Dead on the inside. Sinister in the 3rd eye.
“Podiatry Eyes”——great term!!
I don’t know. Are we supposed to some kind of “dr” or shoemakers. I see RICHIE has an ADVERTISING FOR HIS BRACE FOR SALE. He’s wearing surgical scrubs while standing in his dirty industrial FACTORY. He goes on inexquisite detail about pushing down toes, the usual ff varus suppinatus casting of plaster etc. I’m sorry. To me that is NOT MEDICINE. THAT’S C. PED, SHOEMAKER ACTIVITY AND CONSTRUCTION AND SALES. An MD would say you have “x”. Go to the hospital C.Ped or orthotists dept and let them cast you. He’d give a shot, write an Rx or do a… Read more »

CARTIVA? Shouldn’t that be “CARTIER”? Barry Block slobbers over a ‘bling a ling” shoe! Sick man. Jenny Sanders says your foot slips forward in high heels! Wear them around the house for a while. Shoe store stuff. BTW, ck her picture. Do the eyes match the smile? Personally, I feel distrust. Con Way cons you about Lis Franc injuries. What he fails to tell you is that NO PODIATRIST WILL EVER BE ALLOWED TO OPERATE ON A PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE but podiatry always CHEATS by ‘ASSOCIATION’. Call yourself a “doctor”, mention a disease, and hope the customers will think you treat… Read more »
Do the eyes match the smile?
Nope- it’s podlietry. Many can’t look people in the eye because they’re full of feces.
No, the human lifer podiatrist cannot look you fair in the eye. They either fear something within or that they may be discovered for who they are. The true lifer can do a “cold read”. of a potential customer in under ten seconds. They loo at the shoes, clothes, hair, jewelry, and do a mental wallet biopsy before presenting their pitch.
They use your logic for prospective students…
“mental wallet biopsy”! There’s some real talent here.
Spot on E /CP.
It would make, perhaps, a fascinating research project for a masters psych student.
Nosferatu eyes—- from the 1922 classic horror movie. Look at those eyes. Vampiric, podiatry like.

Anyone getting those impish giggles as he shits on your profession?
He no longer can “get it up” to screw his fugly wife, so he mine as well shit on the profession.
Then the clown creates a “hall of flame” nonsense to create relevance/self importance. The many of psychopathology in that business is eye watering. Narcopaths
American orthopedic foot and ankle Society estimates 64 percent failure rate! Where was podiatry groups reports??!!??
But what about blister studies? It’s critical to fully understand the pathophysiology of blisters, because the comparison of foot blisters is critical – just think of all the people in the ICU with em. Are they from shearing or pressure? O M G this is so critical – If only the AOFAS applicants studied the podiatric literature they would pass……..out.
Very important – the examination of blisterology- $ to be had plus “free” suppers and premium travel
what’s a report? all we want to know is the CPT code paying for it
Nevertheless, lifer podiatric-politicians-administrator types will continue THE LIE that podiatry is “just like”, academically honorable, and not primarily a BUSINESS. Don’t forget Mister Pelto’s suggestions. Perhaps if they gave out KEY CHAIN BOTTLE OPENERS the patients wouldn’t sue. Look. The patients trust you to be the best, competent, NON self serving, and honest. Despite PODIATRY’S SUBLIMINAL BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY, PODIATRY SHOULD NOT BE A BUSINESS! If you think it is, or should be, YOU shouldn’t be in the healing arts. Because podiatry remains married to that ORIGINAL NYC Harlem Chiropodal-business philosophy, it is still a DIRTY PROFESSION. The WRONG men are… Read more »
Hey Sybly,
Before you start giving out bouquets to the orthopods consider the following: 1. Who approved the implant to the FDA ? Orthopods. 2. Who published all the bullshit papers on the success of the implant ? Orthopods. 3. Who lectured and took consulting positions endorsing the implant ? Orthopods. 4. Who statistically implanted the most implants ? Orthopods.
Thanks for sharing!
So, Orthopods are the real leaders and inventors in foot surgery and podiatrists just mimic what they do without any academic research of their own….like greedy COPY CATS? Not much of an academic profession is it?
Yes, orthopedists and general surgeons have been, and will remain when, where, and how pods function in hospital settings. The so-called podiatry residencies and residency directors are wholly at the mercy of MD/DO department heads. Inarguably the DPM is not part of the decision making process regarding who in podiatry gets privileges. Privileges are earned, and obtaining those decision making priveiges has a base line which must be met: having an MD or DO degree and respective training. Despite the myth that “board certified” foot surgeons carry much weight is, was, and will remain a ghost story Told around campfires… Read more »
Eddy you’re on fire!
What’s not stated is that orthopedic surgeons have CREDIBILITY…You don’t need a map to know podiatry isn’t on it. There are less than ethical orthos and generally among MDs, but they have the clout and wherewithal to do as they please. Podiatry, to most is just some funky disease…of the nails – If pods had the clout, who knows we’d have all sorts of gimmicks and potions. That’s why pods have the scope detector. Orthopods do not have the intense scrutiny that pods do. After all EVERYONE trusts the friendly affable podiatrist, right? How’s that shoe insert doin’?
There a none bc truth hurts
