Yep you read that correctly. There are now over one thousand videos of ingrown toenail surgery on Youtube. It appears the biggest growth in Podiatry is Podiatrists videotaping themselves removing ingrown toenails. Some Podiatrists do it for the page views and Public relations. Others just do it for the game like Toe Bro.
But one thing is for sure, you can watch any type of ingrown toenail surgery you want on Youtube. Want a nail with all kinds of pus, a complete toenail avulsion. The world is your oyster. Have an ingrown toenail fetish? Well I got to tell you, Youtube is where you want to be. Now, I have bad news. The way Youtube reimburses you, the idea that you are going to get rich on ingrown toenail videos is probably a myth (though the Toe Bro might be getting there). So in case you want to see the myriad of ingrown toenail surgery, whatever you want, take a look:

Podiatrist girl, Des Pres, looks cute with a stethoscope around her neck but only can talk about COLD FEET because she’s in tightly regulated New York State. She’d better be a poster model for a NURSE, because podiatrists don’t use stethoscopes at a doctoral level!
The stetho look was part of the prop. the actor, the con. Just like selling “board” exams in one’s late 80s to make a buck. Shysters
RETIF DE LA BRETONNE!
Ha!
Udell is a LIFE SAVER! He tells us so and he did it with his trusty DERMATOSCOPE. Maybe he learned from Chaskin. Certainly not in any quack school curriculum. Oh, and he says even the MD missed it. Yeah MD’s don’t know anything about anything. TGF wtf’s. This guy has to be insecurely sick to crow about this. I’ll bet Udell got some mileage at the Seder table with those stories of glory. “My son da docta”. Such a good boy. Man, I wouldn’t want to be in court defending my training in Dermatoscopy as a foot technician. Cold feet… Read more »
“I wouldn’t want to be in court defending my training in Dermatoscopy as a foot technician.” Robert, when dermoscopy is used I usually take pictures of such images clinical as well as dermatoscopic are taken. In court the pictures can be used and an expert witness from Sloan Kettering or any MD can defend such pictures provided a reasonable management algorithm for lesions on Volar skin and another one for lesions above Wallace’s line is documented in the patient’s chart. There can be a 3rd alogorithm for toenails. One can have all the dermatoscopic training in the world. If pictures… Read more »
As a proclamed ‘surgeon’, would you truly be proud to leave a copy of shlock’s rag in the hospital doctor’s lounge? What do you thk they would say once you leave that lounge?
one flew over the podiatry nest. cuckoo cuckoo cuckoo cuckoo. where o where was that dorsiflexion? Sing it and then publish in podio trust
This appears interesting Mr. Chastskin. So taking clinical and dermatoscopic pictures as a DPWTF will appease the court? Robert’s statement that he could get grilled in court bc we’re not medical specialist nor doctor, we’re podiatrist–how does he defend doing these dermatoscopic examinations in court upon cross examination etc…. Does he say that Ashfuq Mashroob said it’s ok, or Robert read his book, and attended some lecs at Sloane, and that qualifies him as a quasi dermatopathologist, rubbed elbows with some oncologists, derms, or “put in the time/memorization/studying” as a podiatric service provider, etc…Trying to understand how one defends being… Read more »
Perhaps the pictures themselves would not appease a court. Yet an expert witness MD dermatologist who is familiar with dermoscopy can give the court an objective independent opinion on the dermatoscopic pictures. The problem is finding a dermatologist that regularly uses dermotologist for a second opinion on difficult cases. Even lay persons can be taught to use dermoscopy. A study was started where an exhibitor heard a lecture picked up a dermatoscope and diagnosed their own melanoma. If the general public can be taught ABCDE clinical criteria to monitor themselves for skin cancer, dermoscopy can be taught to the general… Read more »
Thank you for the information. then why would a foot tech do any dermatoscopy if the liabilities/lawsuits can be high? If cross examination asked where the foot tech did their dermatology training/residency, do we say they “learned all about this from an online lecture we heard?” Or get in a real doctor-MD derm to help us? Why not just right away refer to a real doctor rather than dermatoscopic examinations by non doctors?
The dermatoscope can detect patterns and structures that would normally be dismissed not treated by both podiatrists and dermatologists.
Can they detect outrraaagggeous shoe pictures and the shyster shrimp barrister’s bullshit?
Patients are usually not referred to a dermatologist for an ingrown toenail with a clinical appearance of a pyogenic granuloma! Podiatrists might just remove the ingrown toenail and send it off for pathology. Incision of the pyogenic granuloma often might not be necessary to heal the area. Dermatoscopic exams might find ameleanotic melanoma on the feet that would never be biopsied in the first place! Hint look for the irregular vessels using non contact highly polarized light. Warning, do not use contact gel and pressure which migh block the appearance of irregular vessels. Another hint any vessel other than a… Read more »
Most podiatrists donta want to get da sued! Clip clap sell some podiatry krap. And collect baby. Dats how ya do it. Stay clipping my friends! And put a little honey on the challah for a good new yeaaah (good is code for gelt, dinero, greens baby). You wanna be da best, then sign up for da best. Get a dermatoscope and do a lil ditty!
Seder table inappropriate reference
That’s reality. What abt reality offended you so much?
Ingrown toenail SURGERY? We’re calling toenail cases SURGERY NOW? We have a rear foot board and a forefoot board where’s the DISTAL board? Well, don’t worry. The PA’s will be doing more and more as time goes by. If a 2.8-3.1 dptechnician can learn them, the 3.3-3.8 PA can too.
Yes– 2.8-3.1 GPA dp technicians who got those marks from 3rd and 4th tier universities. How many actually GRADUATED from top tier unis? And if so, who the f-ck would attend DP WTF skool? You’d be surrounded by morons and other simpletons who have perverted sock/shoe fetishes.
