After a “smooth”, superficial description of podiatry (it even sounded appealing to me!) you sense something is wrong. They’re “drs” but don’t go to a real medical school? (what?

Don’t kid yourself about 1996 being the date when they trotted out the MD carrot to put before the ass(s). In 1972 the Illinois College of Podiatric Medicine (aka Scholl quack school) remodeled a Y. W. ( yes w) C. A. moving from the Chicago Mafia Hit corridor to the “sunnier” side of the street. Cheers, accolades, back slaps, and proclamations about PODIATRY’S EVOLUTION TOWARD THE M.D. were the rage. Decades later toenail clinics were still half full. Hospitals were VERY SUSPICIOUS having to surveil NON MD’s in their building. Time marched on and the OWNERS OF THE CHICAGO FRANCHISE… Read more »

Podiatrists are like realturds (real estate agents). Scum bags. 1/2 a step above a used car salesmen. One of the top lobbying groups in CONgress.

What campy, cheap, quack profession exalts the retention of a SPINNING SIGN WITH HAPPY AND SAD FOOT FACES ON IT? It represents PODIATRY’S PERSONA at its cheapest, most mercenary, and most unmedical aspects. It’s so typical of podiatry’s long history of a cheap business hawking customers for money (“increase your profits SELLING SHOES AND BRACES” ) . A deep silent thread still runs throughout podiatry just like those from podiatry’s New York City Ghetto beginnings. Why does Barry Block continue to print such cheap stories? Money? Of course! Let me tell you something. If you’re not part of the foot… Read more »

Like a home in a bad neighborhood, like a scruffy shitbox car, like a stinky foot, like a slimy gastworthless, podiatry brings out it’s annual MD fantasy yammer masquerading as “news”. More like propaganda, right Dingle Barry? Yesiree dp wtf, let’s keep that (delusional) hope alive with someday we’ll get that MD or we need that MD dreams. Childish fanstasies for those pick up trucking fuck ups, or adult children with grey hair with those milky white big beer bellies UK, UK!

Happy Sunday! SHOES ARE AN INVESTMENT! Wow! They protect feet from the environment. Wow! They are the connection between the body and the earth. Wow! So, “DOCTORAL” BARRY, you fool. WTF. This is a 4th grade report and Barry Block prints it. No wonder MD’s think podiatrists are stupid. I do to. It’s not going to matter but Ira Baum says we need to become MD’s. really? Anybody else come to that realization in the last 40 years?! A little late to the party Mr. P.. Podiatrist Di Resta says podiatry school has to MAKE UP DEFICIENCIES AND NEEDS TO… Read more »

Quite an interesting read. Too bad it was mostly fantasy. She got the part right about the first two years. The last two? Unbelievable. I remember third year was spent learning a lot of shit that we couldn’t do legally in the morning, then staring at the empty clinic walls in the afternoon. Apparently it hasn’t changed since my time there over 30 yrs ago because I’m reading about it today. Most poddies earning 6+ figures/yr? In their own minds, maybe. There’s no way if you live in a poddy town where you can hit one with a rock without… Read more »

Ladies, Gentleman, Potential Students, and those young enough to still get out of podiatry. Let me PROVE ONCE AGAIN THAT PODIATRY AND PODIATRISTS SHOULD BE STEERED CLEAR OF. Confusion, disarray, and ambiguity is displayed today to such a degree that I fear this address will be longer than anyone desires, but let’s begin to chip away at it. BarryBlock has regulars he uses to FILL in the many empty spots needed for his business to remain profitable. Today he has another regular, Bruce Pinker, who parrots and proselytizes the SALES PITCH FOR PODIATRY that: (podiatry) gives LOTS OF FLEXIBILITY for… Read more »

Difference between Podiatry college and Medical School? Like the difference between a community college trade course in carpentry and a Graduate Architect. One saws manually, the other thinks, designs, and is fully licensed. A grimey fingered unshaven auto mechanic turning a wrench or a white shirted PORSCHE engineer sitting at an easel designing an efficient Le MAN’S winning engine!

More of nothing US “report” candy floss.
They seem to do these “difference” “stories” (propaganda/mythology) regularly. It was a way to advertize podiatry. It was a PR release disguised as “news”–which IS propaganda. Get the loot, show the doctor “lifestyle”, interview a bland smiling brainwashed debt-ridden lackee and See, see, although we may appear ‘different’ we’re really similar, so come on down, sign up, and be a Dp wtf. Monkeys and Homo sapiens are similar too but NOT the same.
