if you put podiatry malpractice into AI this is what you get back
Podiatrists are commonly sued for medical malpractice following elective procedures that result in permanent deformity, persistent pain, or severe complications like amputation, with 94.5% of such cases involving surgical errors. Common allegations include improper surgical techniques, failure to timely diagnose conditions (e.g., Charcot foot, infections), and fraud, such as misrepresenting wound severity for unnecessary treatments.

Same names, same culture, same delusions and lies, same stagnation. Some of the reasons I’m ashamed of podiatry.
Something is very wrong with them.
Ok, the test posted, so here goes. I’ve always thought of Allen Jacobs similarly to Sen John Fetterman who, though a Democrat, was as reasonable as a conservative. I’ve looked at Dr Jacobs as a pod advocate but also as a realist of what podiatry was. However, Dr. Jacobs seems to have slipped back to the LIFER philosophy spouting PODIATRY AS LIVING IN LIGHT NOT DARKNESS. Sure. Compared to days gone by podiatry has come “into the light” somewhat, but let’s get real. Allow me an analogy. Pre millennial podiatry (< year 2000) was similar to a prisoner in solitary… Read more »
Whadda expect from a jacobs?! This thin lipped imbecile defends rogers, armpit, jokeseph, etc. He is and was status quo. Worked for him dinero wise of course.
Misseri Boomer ought to retire already. Jesus h christ—how old is that imbecile 80s?
Jacobs seems to have slipped back to the LIFER philosophy.’
Of course—bc he is and was a lifer!!!
Water is wet department.

Fucktional medicine? Do I have that right? AI predicts fucktional medicine will be the future of medicine? Does that include the Ivar Roth 100% fungus cure regimen? Podiatrists implanting spinal cord stimulators? Make pretend arthritis cures your state board does not seem to understand? Bunions treated with carrots and peas? Charcot’s joints stabilized with supplements? Somebody is getting fucktioned with fucktional medicine.
Robert, you have reasonable arguments you raise. However, I ask you to consider, just consider, an alternate view of podiatry. Maybe, just maybe, podiatry was and is what it what it was intended to be. That’s correct, a doctor with a limited scope of practice. Like a dentist. Or chiropractor. Or optometrist. Or physical therapist. What if the world of allopathic medicine does not need podiatrists to do anything but care for feet. And reluctantly concede ankles. What if we accept that premise. A podiatrist can do anything reasonable but only if they are treating a foot or an ankle.… Read more »
An interesting perspective on the nature of podiatry. An elephant is an elephant, a camel is a camel and no force of nature can change that. Too many years without a change or rearrange as had osteopthy failed for podiatry. Litigation sans education cannot alter the quiddiy of a thing. Yet dissapointment is abundant. Robert’s dedicated to change vis-a-vis education and training and fot many that would be a good thing. For others, the responsibility of being an MD is a tremendous challenge which for many podiatrists is beyond their desires. And that’s the rub. Maybe this dichotomy incentives some… Read more »
You’re talking Darwinian sense Eddy. Podiatry is podiatry as Optometry is optometry. The problem, as I see it, is that “camels” are CALLING THEMSELVES LIONS. (pods calling and thinking they’re physicians!) Either there is a fundamental mutation changing pods to MD’s, or pods stay pods doing pod things. The confusion stems from some pods doing so called, “rear foot surgery” then thinking that, compared to the everyday pod, THEY are superior and more physician like. Since the advent of 3 year preceptorships they equate rearfoot and ankle mechanics as PHYSICIAN status. YOU AND I know how far mechanics is from… Read more »
will this post
Once again I replied only to have it lost in posting. Given enough negative reinforcement incentive disappears, Posts disappear, Blog disappears. Let’s try it again Hallux guy. Then, why do dirty podiatrist keep saying we’re “just like”, “we’re physicians”, “We’re the best at foot stuff, “we sat in the same classes MD’s”? How often to lifers refer to podiatrists as podiatric PHYSICIANS? (illegal in NY) If podiatry didn’t CON students into thinking that, “because they do surgery (minor) “they must have learned medicine first”. How often is LIMB SALVATION used? Only by passes and stents save limbs. You can patch… Read more »
I replied twice. Seth is either blocking them or this site won’t post for some reason. Either way this all works for Barry block’s bank account and maintains the CONTROL over money and the power structure. Both which demonstrate the cheesy, sleezy, non academic side of this dirty profession. Men make it and if you look at the lies etc in podiatry you see the quality of the men in it.
Plymouth Rock is Plymouth Rock. Podiatry is podiatry. It is what it is. Some pilgrims wandered off to migle with the natives and returned to their fellow pilgrims with ideas:”Some day we’ll be living in teepees, counting coo, and have ceremonies just like the natives.” They were loud, outspoken pilgrims who believed they were just like the natives.” The natives didn’t accept the pilgrims no matter what. Even if they were board certified non-native trained pow wow rappers and wore war paint feathered headgear and mocked the other pilgrims. Nothing changed the lifer pilgrims remained steadfast and Plymouth Rock remains… Read more »
Did shyster shlock and co screw with this site?!
I feel like I have something between my teeth and no one is telling me. What is going on with this blog? Is there some arcane Holiday I’m not aware of? Where is everyone? Why doesn’t the blog owner respond to questions? Is everyone on “spring break” or has BARRY BLOCK AND THE APMA proffered a sweet profit to shut this blog down. Afterall it’s the only one I know of that is honest about the podiatry scam it’s well know crooks and it’s misleading titles and need. I can see why Block and the APMA might bribe someone to… Read more »
I think the podiatry post has gone out of business.
Well, what ya know? A post went through! I asked if there were now certain times of the day for posting, but there’s been no reply to questions. I think posters have a right to know what’s going on if they are to continue to support this site. Open for posting business 24/7 or not? If not, when?
Robert, Not you but some of nasty , hateful vitriol is terrible.
Yah, reality is tough. Truth is nasty to USians.
Get a life madam or sir , with decency
Then leave here and this country.. see ya
When one has no factual argument they resort to ad hominin attacks. A sign of psychological immaturity and an irreconcilability of their rejection. That’s a common denominator in the podiatric Lifer class. They wouldn’t make good MD’s either. They have no introspection or humility.
Those personalities flourish in the “controlling class” like the APMA, BOARDS, QUACK SCHOOL FACULTIES, AND “FAMILIAR NAMED LIFERS”. This is why a generation later podiatry remains on its own biomechquactic orthotic island.
