The Podiatrists graduating today want to earn a good living. That is what kind of Podiatrist they want to be. If the Podiatrist sees they could earn a good living in wound care that is what they will do. If the Podiatrist sees they can earn a good living in rear foot reconstruction that is what they will do. If today’s Podiatrist sees they can earn a good living doing chip and clip that is what they will do. While I am sure it is great to wax poetic about peoples’ admirable ambitions the reality is 95% of Podiatrists just want to have a comfortable living in a nice house. Nothing more, nothing less.
Podiatrist treating feet during procedure
Dear F, You’re right. Block will never leave his cozy racket BUT, BUT, if the profession had REAL MEN IN IT, who were honest and also didn’t want (need?) to BE PART OF THE CON, they would complain to, and/or boycott his advertisers and deride BLOCK at seminars. When you can’t get a little rat to leave you starve it. Apparently, the weak spine’d, insecure, foot technician population, must feel a NEED to have THEIR lie reinforced and supported. Block serves that purpose by supporting the “LIES”. Secure, confident, NEEDED men would throw “AFABBARY” on his ear. He’s BAD FOR… Read more »
“Bad for podiatry” “This man must go…” anything for a buck b? Why would he???? Corn hole states reality eloquently. Why would limp bisket leave a lucrative profit center selling silly stories, selling (empty) hope and pandering to podiatry flunkies who think someday that ship will come in? That’s his livelihood, why would he stop doing that? He loves money. He f-ing loves it. It’s all that he was about. That’s all that he has going on in this “life” and it help pay for the life he chose to lead. Some practice the foot thing, some hit balls for… Read more »
THE DAY THE FOOT STOOD STILL! CLEVER PLAY ON THE KLATTU LINE. Too clever for someone who’s strapped with just a wtf certificate. PS: One of my favorite Sci Fi 50’s movies. The back ground music sound effects are eriee and ahead of its time. True Classic.
Was anything for a buck Barry ahead of his time?
The day the foot stood still! LOL.. Nice reference Corn Hole. anything for a buck barry. “the wall of rationalizations, defense mechanisms, walls of defensive posturing, straw man (aunt sallies) arguments to justify the anything for a buck existence”….was this a mental derangement/s? Esp the obsession with silly shoes and socks. Loss of contact with reality. Hustlers and hucksters.
What the FUCH! GIRL technician SUZANNE FUCHS, a BARRY BLOCK regular FILLER for Block is discussing OVER THE COUNTER anti-inflammatory lotion with ARNICA in it. This low life lying FAKE NON MD has a red stethoscope around her neck and calls herself a PODIATRIST AND ANKLE SURGEON. Podiatrists don’t even use the term foot anymore. They jump right to ANKLE because, in podiatry, you’re further from being a wtf the farther you go above the foot. Some NON MD’s even touch the bottom of the leg. They’re podiatric Gods. I wouldn’t at all be surprised if the GIRL “ankle surgeon”… Read more »
Robert; Nothing will alter the actions of anything for a buck Barry. He has constructed a wall of rationalizations, defense mechanisms, and straw man arguments to justify his anything for a buck existence. Perhaps just as sadly, he understands that people use him for their own selfish purposes. Again, so long as anything for a buck Barry gets his money, his sole mission in life is completed. He is a tool of the APMA, AAPPM, Presents, anyone who pays. Much like any strumpet, he finishes the job with a happy ending and moves on to the next customer. Brainless and… Read more »
maybe he needs to speak to his Rabbi. Ethics, morals remediations.
I did not see an “Outrageous Shoe of the Year” in the exhibit hall this week at ACFAS. I also did not see Mr. and Mrs. Block walking the exhibit hall passing out PM magazines. I also did not see Jeff Lehrman walking the exhibit hall right up Jim Christina’s butt. Horrible meeting this year without Mr. Block, Lehrman and Christina in attendance.
Next year I will try to attend the pseudo-surgeons meeting at ASPS (aka ASSPass).
Has the AAOS or AOFAS thought about having “Outrageous shoe of the day” plenary session? They can get Mann, Myerson, et al to give an overview of those funny shoes that little man is so inflatuated with? Surely MD Foot and Ankle Surgeons would be very interested in outrageous shoes?
You did not see Lehrman because this was not an APMA function where he pockets $2,000 – $4,000 of your APMA dues money each weekend. Always with the blessing of his boyfriend the executive director and the useless APMA board. You see, ACFAS draws accomplished people. That is why there is no Lehrman, Schoenhaus, Rogers or any Presents morons like Sherman. No practice perfect plagiarists. No AAPPM frauds. No Moore. No Guiliana. These are guys who function at a much lower level where the one eyed man is king of the blind. Worms attached to the lower end of the… Read more »
Is there a podiatric gynecology board yet? Maybe the mile high pody can help create another board?
Rosenslum,
Mile High podiatrist …………………………….. Is that Hal Ornstein that has sex on an airplane ?
Attention Barry Block :
There is a new organization in Canada. It is called the Canadian Society of Celebrity Shoes (CSCS). Hartley Miltchin, DPM is the founding president. He is looking for an attorney to write the Bylaws. I was thinking of you.
Cornholio, You are right on the money. I knew there were some smart honest pods out there. Now, let’s overthrow the podiatric crooks, liars, and greedy men. Start with Barry Block and PM News. He’s been a one man banner censor and propagandists propping up dead podiatry like the movie,” Where’s Bernie”. Barry Block is Bad for modern podiatry.
The amount of cognitive dissonance is eye watering. They call themselves surgeons! Doctors! They really believe their own lies. The worst lies are the ones we tell ourselves. Caddy Pod
Check out linkedin >>>> see how many DPMs list themselves as anything but Podiatrist, all BS titles, and you wonder why MDs And DOs and NPs and PAs laugh at us…..lower extremity reconstructive foot and ankle surgeon, Peripheral nerve surgeon..etc etc etc….then look at the Scholl college grads…..they graduated from what ever you want to call it University but they dont say Scholl college….LOL
Dr Stein youre correct. Do a cursory look and one will see the P word not mentioned. It’s even garbled by some foreigner on a school recruitment video by an Indian girl. They are all diabetic salvationists, reconstructionists, surgeons of the ankle, LE neurologists, pathologist, ID LE expert, the foot, sports physicians, medical practice CONsultant, etc..etc…no P in sight! Bullshitters all. Nonsense titles. Who the fck falls for this excremento?
Sun stroked Sherman in Boca Raton is really trying to be relevant. Perhaps its attempt to keep his lecture selling business flush. He’s gaga over another mixed up New Yorker, Elliot Udell, who compares the foot technician trade to the TRUE MEDICAL SURGICAL SPECIALTY OF DENTISTRY. ONLY a PODIATRIC FOOL compares podiatry to dentistry except for the commonality of a limited license. That’s it. The rest of the difference between dentistry and podiatry is a PARSEC. Dentists don’t walk around calling themselves physicians or that they’re just like, (though dental schools are mainly affiliated with REAL UNIVERSITIES), or that they… Read more »
Let us see now. Presents spends money with Barry Block and PM news. So Barry publishes tripe from Presents Sherman. And organizations such as the so called pediatric podiatry society spend money with Presents. So Sherman tells us how great these fake bullshit organizations are. In fact, Sherman praises fake pediatric doctor DeCaro. And DeCaro uses his position in the make pretend pediatric society to sell his make pretend orthotics. There you go. Pay Barry and he will print anything. Anything. No credibility with any of these clowns. Certainly not Barry, who clearly has established his lack of shame. Trump… Read more »
Nice summary of Podiatry .. corn
Love it Corn Hole. Anything for a buck Barry–President Trump. And that ain’t theater. “Intellectually challenged” posters on BM news? More like brain damaged, brain dead, or IQ<70.
Board Certified, Silly Shoes
Air Farce Agonsteillfetucini He was their bitch. Yes sir, no sir. Their employed dp WTF. Where’s the need? There was no real need for dp wtfs. However in unfettered US capitalism you have nonstop hustlers and hucksters who lust after $, and will sell useless shit ala Willy Loman style anything and everything. Create needs. Not meet them. Go anything for a buck Barry! Go Trump
The interesting aspect of Sherman’s uninvited and unwelcomed commentary in PM News is his assumption that he somehow has any academic standing. He is nothing more than a podiatry grifter. A carnival sideshow barker who believes that successfully running a knock down the Queppe doll stand makes him a major league pitching coach. He has little to no experience educating residents. Accounts say he was a nobody with a nothing practice in Florida. He has no academic bona fides. He needs to go off in his corner, circle jerk with his buddy Mike, and count his money. Hitting the lottery… Read more »
Fart Shartman does sell other’s lectures. Very nice business.
Well, evidence doesn’t matter to lifers. They’ll still cry “I’m Just Like a Doctor” but every now a then Barry Block slips up exposing podiatry (purely accidentally I believe).. I love this one. “Tennessee technician explains why DIABETICS SHOULD WEAR WHITE SOCKS”. Of course he does because he CAN’T explain how to TREAT Diabetes because he’s forbidden by LAW so all he can talk about is socks. After all SOCKS AND SHOES ARE THE “VOICE OF PODIATRIST’s specialty. A pod says he had a customer with only10% of his toe attached at the skin. He wants to know how to… Read more »
Eddys around.
Yep, rotations for poddies is a waste. Like tits on a bull. Other than a great resource for referrals, after “gradiate training” they can’t legally do what they learned. Podiatry is dead. Long live podiatry.
It comes down to what type of pod you DONT want to be. Robert, there are many MDs who are more business men than doctors. Look at the scum who run insurance companies.
Agree but what is the % of the total? That’s apples to apples.
Podiatry just dropped its pants. It’s showing what it is. A JOB that is designed to get maximum money. Podiatrists want to do what pays them. That’s what kind of podiatrist podiatrists want to be. Unlike MD’s and PHD’s ( who intrinsically do well) but who’s main interest is scientific curiosity and/or humanitarianism differentiates TRUE ACADEMICS AND HUMANITARIANISM vs. Rhetoric and pretense. Lifers won’t accept this or understand this. They don’t understand that there ACTUALLY ARE people who find a discovery, the search for it, a cure, or a battle against mother nature’s entropy just as, or more seductive than,… Read more »
If podiatry dropped its pants, it would be a Ken doll. No sac. No balls. Definitely not Lou Rawls.
The question should be: who has a silly shoe, which socks are best in the winter time, and which badly aging DP WTF gave 70 bucks to the PTO. That’s what life’s about.
To get rich, buy shit and then die. What else was there?
