Check this out. Who would have guessed this twenty years ago but these two orthopedic surgeons brag about their specialization in bunions. But instead of slamming Podiatrists and their site talking about how much better they are than Podiatrists, one of the organizations they brag about being a member of is a Podiatrist organization in ACFAS. This is truly progress. It goes to show you the reputation difference between the APMA and ACFAS in a lot of medical communities. Bottom line the APMA scientific side is by and large considered a joke by most serious clinicians while ACFAS appears to have made some headway.
98.7% of USians were allergic to reality. The wool WAS their eyes.
Re: Brooklyn foot: Block doesn’t know about this site?! What a stupid thing to say. Legal ways to close this site? Mr. Socialist Communist should recall the FIRST AMENDMENT. If any site should be closed its’ the one sided lifer propaganda site that associates podiatrist with shoes socks and money while implying podiatrists are just like DOCTORS instead of “dentist like foot technicians” with a license LIMITED BY THE LAW! Whenever a lifer-liberal can’t fight with facts he just wants to “dispose of” the competition. You can break all the mirrors in the world, cast all the negative votes your… Read more »
I am going to be at the New York Clinical meeting in NYC this weekend. I am going to look for Barry Block and introduce myself.
I am going to tell him all about this site. It’s just plain not nice that Dr. Block gets beat up so much. He probably is not even aware of this site, but perhaps he can get it shut down. He clearly must know how to pull legal strings and close this site up.
Delusions, money, and fake certifications: Delusions: TV foot technicians are the “finest in the profession” and demonstrate our Education and Scope. I didn’t hear anything about limited BY LAW to NON SYSTEMIC LOCAL CONDITIONS (unlike a PA who has full scope). He says its a P.R. Coup. Yeah, those MD degrees are right around the corner now that the legislators can see wtf’s on TV. Well, contrast that to a wtf technician who asks “does it bother anyone that they’re NOT BOARD CERTIFIED IN SURGERY”? There’s the fake certification portion. See, the SX board REALLY DOES CONTROL PODIATRY. Wonder what… Read more »
Robert, you’re right. The entertainment show is another propaganda tool to play pretend and rub elbows, just likes. Yah right.
Also, Anyone with an IQ greater than 70 can infer what rosenflatus was suggesting re retiring very early and very blessed with podiatry.,….Sounds like American GreedTV episode, .the business of medicine-coding-insurance was a racket too. Just ask all those mbas, CPA’s, etc etc from the corrupt corporations
Nice summary of podiatry
That’s the American way. Get money, get more money, and die. Hustlers, hucksters, and jingoism. Humanity? What’s that? Greater good, community? Crickets.
Ha! An honest pod calls the teevee show, good for business. Yep, Business. Yes, a WASPY uk pod calls for an ambulance. . Wow wee.
BARRY BLOCK continues to EMBARASS PODIATRY: Can you imagine MD’s reading “the Voice of Podiatrists”? No wonder they think we’re QUACKS. For example, Short shoes hurt your feet. Wedding Chapels that look like a SLIPPER! That how BARRY BLOCK CHOOSES (yes HE chooses) to represent podiatry. HE’S BAD FOR PODIATRY. Think the MD care about a U.K. CHRIOPODIST who makes a house call and when no one answered she looked in the window sees the woman and calls an ambulance. Wow! How medical. The MD’s must be swooning. Podiatrist Smith says the FOOT SHOW on TV “is GOOD FOR BUSINESS”.… Read more »
a profession filled with F troopers. What is podupetry? Fraudulent professions for 15 dollars Alice.
Who is bald, sardonic, fake, paper « md », recycles me too-common sense bs as novel, and tetany smiles a lot?
Barry Ghloch—-If your grades were very good, mcats very good, and graduated from a very good uni, why do podiatry skool?
Barry Block graduated at the bottom of his class in podiatry school and is still called Doctor !
Is he related to lock jaw, DP wtf?
Open question- if Podiatry so lucrative why get law degree-?
If grades were good and earned from 1st or 2nd tier uni, why get a podiatry “degree”?
Ask Barry Block your question.
Nice rebuttal
Ask Barry Block ! !
Open question- if the baseball cap at that famer meeting says “brain vacuous”, why not do podiatry?
Oy yes, Barry will be passing out PM baseball caps in New Yawk City this weekend. And his magazines.
With Mrs. Block right by his side.
The tour guide ? Shysterette
Are you referring to fugly Hermine ?
Chip off old block?
The GLORY of Podiatry permeates through the air waves on “My podiatrist is killing me”. One technician is concerned about “the professions” opinion of it. Would it matter? No one does anything about podiatric mediocrity anyways. They say Brad Shafer (the TV foot star) is a FOOT AND ANKLE SURGEON. In the first episode this “surgeon” needed his FEMALE residency director to assist an a 5th toe amputation. BIG Surgeon. Can you imagine an MD GENERAL SURGEON or MD ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON needing help to amputate a toe?! Let’s say it again, WHAT DO THEY TEACH IN THOSE QUACK SCHOOLS and… Read more »
Variations on Hitler Youth. Next generation of indoctrinated marks-dupes. They really thought podiatry was a « specialty ». Brainwashed and deluded whack jobs all. Yes old boots hamster wheeled into late 80s.
I loved Boots Horowitz ! He was the greatest. His sham bored certification allowed me to become bored certified.
Are you Boots (trademark) certified? Was it 87 dollars?
Nope ! Worked till 87 years of age and died at 87 years of age. Was it really worth it ? Nope !
Died at 87 years of age and worked till 87 years of age. A shame !
Robert-why does a person need that much a year to live on when retired? Is it a Manhattenite style living? Steak, shrimp, lux hôtels, first class airfare, kinda like gassyworthless?
Who gives a shut about podiatry other than podiatrists? It was a fraudulent, flatulent, field of fuck ups and failures. Nihilism. No one give a rip about that foot thing unless you’re the barryster and profiteers off of it.
A podiatry technician who’s also a lawyer states one needs 140-150,000 per year in Wyoming or Montana to have a comfortable retirement. Is this the same guy that got taken to the woodshed by Jacobs from Missery? Robert brings up a salient point. How does an Honest DPWTF save that much for retirement to live in a buck shuck state let alone other more pricey places? No wonder why Boots at 87 was still working? Or greed
My student loans are over $300k. Plus a studio apartment, shit box car, health insurance monthly premiums with tons out of pocket, utilities, taxes, dues, dental care due to tooth pain, etc etc etc…How are they saving that much?
Moshi I have partial answer. I know of several podiatrists who made millions – in jail or throw out of medicine….
Feel better?
Barry Glock has nothing today. Can’t even scrape enough lifer news except for some veiled advertisements by desperate podiatrists needing business. Another article about plantar fasciitis? Really? Go to the GOOD FEET STORE and read the same. A wtf gets a position in a church. Very professional. PODIATRIST OF THE YEAR? That’s as meaningful as custodian of the year or school bus driver assistant of the year. MEANINGLESS just like the M in dpM. Mister Levy wants us to know he reads. He tells us there’s a greater chance of a DM getting gout on a Na glucose cotransporter-2-inhibitor. As… Read more »
They’re not afraid of picking up a book. They’re just plain stupid. They drunk on getting money.
They’re probably in ACFAS to have the link on their website for SEO/clickbait.
Simply clickbait or some other typical us hustler monetization.
These guys are DOCTORS! Read their C.V.’s. Real live MEDICAL SCHOOL GRADUATE PHYSICIANS. 5 years SURGICAL RESIDENCY. Fellowship cherry on top of the cake. Indicators that they do severe TRAUMA RECONSTRUCTION and children’s deformities. Lastly, they list their name followed by only M.D. after it. That says it all. It says you’re dealing with ACTUALl MAINSTREAM DOCTORS fully associated with hospitals. BTW, the video explaining why a 3-D correction is superior to a 2-D correction would influence anyone who viewed it. Of course, the foot technicians are still arguing in Barry Glock’s non scientific blog why the 3-D correction is… Read more »
