Whatever your thoughts on impeachment, to think that Brad Wenstrup’s line of questioning has in any way elevated the profession of Podiatry, you are nuts. First off, nobody watching the hearings knows he is a Podiatrist. In fact most people have no idea who Wenstrup is. It’s like living in another dimension when Barry published the article on Wenstrup. Guess what? You know what Wenstrup’s questioning of the impeachment did for Podiatry? Nothing. It did nothing positive. It did nothing negative. Nobody Cares.
podiatry’s future…spend 300 k at pod school to become an employee with an ortho group…..or a small non majority owner….ANYWAYS PAs WILL SOON BE DOING POD SURGERY..PAs are doing ortho residencies
So, how can Barry Block, Alan Sherman, the APMA, and the QUACK schools justify misleading the students and the profession by banning and censoring what the real world of podiatry is like? Does the shear accumulation of MONEY absolve the SINS of commission and omission, Barry? Who taught such materialistic immorality against his fellow man? Podiatry: There is a DIRTY UNDERCURRENT in it that makes and keeps podiatry unwholesome and suspect.
Podiatry does not make you the best foot and ankle healthcare provider. A DPM can not be the best when your AVERAGE DPM had a 3.10 GPA and poor MCAT SCORES from college. YOU CANT BE THE BEST WHEN YOU DID A SO -Called residency ( WHICH THEY ARE NOT LEGALLY) IN A NON TEACHING HOSPITAL. The students are brain washed, the insurance companies are not. Reality is Podiatry is slowly melting away.
The Dp WTFs did NOT complete any residency. The AMA only calls ACGME programs residencies, with ABITEs etc…Other allied health providers —-non MD/DOs or OMFS— are called post grad training programs. Dp wtfs were mostly a fraud profession governed by greedy shysters
Yeah, there’s something between EX-podiatrist Block and Pinker. He’s been getting a lot of press. I can think of many reasons why. One of them is I think insecure vertically challenged, Barry Block (who dropped out of podiatry) subliminally likes to “be above” the foot stigma and by printing our association with sweaty feet and drying behind the toes articles he feels he’s ABOVE IT. He’s not above much else. That would assuage insecurity about the, “why did you pick” feet questions. Pinker still calls himself an ankle surgeon. Does anyone know if he’s one of the VERY FEW in… Read more »
One of the most financially successful people we ever met got a GED and worked as a carpenter to put himself through undergraduate school. He became a pet shop owner and dog walker mobile. Made well over 2,400,000 during his tenure. Robert, that number you gave is a laughable for a “doctor”. Heck, pizza shop owners can makeover 6figs, and what is someone gonna “sue” for bad pepperoni? Too hot hot sauce for the buffallo wings? You get that drift, or the pizza whiff Robert. Podiatry is a terrible investment and too high liabiity filled with tons of docementations, reportings,… Read more »
AT NO time in history have more people been serially sodomized by the glistening D P M…The Stairway to Heaven, that’d be “Heavin’ Nebraska where the wild things grow in every toe– IS PODIATRY an investment? Dang—I thought it was a calling. Often the wrong number. Kids go into it because of promises (fallacies) by the foot clubs and schools, and haunted for years by assuming MOST of the MD hassles (documentation, EHRs, malpractice, paperwork, prior authorizations, and on and on, and nearly none of the benefits. However, there remain a few pods from dynastic podiatric families in, say, MOTOWN… Read more »
It appears to be a dog and three stooges pony (horse) show. Would bet 1000 bucks that most DP WTFS look down at pizza shop workers/owners, when they in fact many pizza guys cleaning up financially. How many pizza shop owners have 400,000 dollars in student loan debt? How many went to 11-15 years of skooling? Kissing some ass to some old fart residumpcey director? How many have to complete detailed documentations etc…about pizza metrics? Sausage proportions, onion ratios. Bell pepper audits? Steak and cheese attestations and PBMS? The DP WTF is the fucking loser (financially speaking), how many pizza… Read more »
Great post . In another life I should flipped piazzas and not toenails. Ugh
Podiatry was basically a collection of hucksters, hustlers, and boors, profoundly nasty, and self-deluded.
Nearly every bee in the hive was actively employed in search of…money; neither art, science, learning, nor pleasure can seduce them from its pursuit. Not gun smithing, bourbon tasting, gardening, extreme flatulence, nor walzing the matilda. There was no charm, no grace in their conversation. They had a rude, yet infantile, guillable indifference… so remarkably prevalent in the manners of spoiled children.
“Tales from Podfucketry.”
Bourbon tasting farting tap dancers sing the podiatry song. Ding dingaling sit at the kiddie table and don’t eat the cranberry sauce with your curette.
Happy thanksgiving to everyone
Jockstrup looked like a podiatrist.
Robert, Mr stinker has some very good advice. he states that people to need dry in between the toes. There’s apparently a problem with people not drying properly between the toes.
Very important stuff. Does this require a “doctorate”? Or 3-4 years back starring post podiatrical skoooling? Mr stinker- perhaps brain damaged?
Hey there Dr. Larry, “it’s Bruce the Pinker Stinker” from White Plains, New Yawk.
He is not certified in RRA. Dr. Bijak, “Bruce the Pinker” has no fucken rearfoot training.
Barely any forefoot training.
ho hum, I really wanted to get info on the COMBAT SURGEON (impressive) moniker. The military still categorizes practitioners into PHYSICIANS, DENTISTS, AND…. “ALLIED HEALTH CARE”. You guessed it. PODIATRISTS ARE DEFINED AS ‘ALLIED’ ALONG WITH NURSES, LAB TECHS, OPTOMETRISTS, AND PHARMACISTS. There appears to be NO increase in SCOPE for MILITARY WTF’S. Foot, ankle, leg. Nothing more. Nothing systemic. Physicians must be licensed to PRACTICE MD/DO MEDICINE. Wtf’s must have gone to PODIATRY school. There’s a distinct delineation between a physician and a podiatrist. There doesn’t seem to be that “made up” “podiatric physician” definition in the military. PODIATRISTS… Read more »
Jockstrep was a clown. A podiatrist who needed to not to do actual foot things. Now he’s an actor playing a diff role
Pods are allied health providers in the departments of war services. The scum pretend as if they’re doctors/physicians. They’re lumped with optometrists and chiropractors. Keep denying reality
Read that Brad makes $174,000/yr as a Congressman (plus perks) and has a net worth of 2.4 million dollars and practiced wtf’ery for 21 years in Ohio. He went to the Scholl foot school and is 61 yo. Undergrad degree in psych. Nice gig. No touchy feet any more.
174k plus big benies for CONgress
Psych degrees were well known as joke easy degrees especially if gotten at Beltcherville College types. Grassy worth’s net worth likely higher. No touchy smelly feet
2.4M is peanuts after 3 decades of pretending doctoring?. What did gasworthless get not doing the foot stuff?
Go ahead tell me where I’m wrong. An apparently Love Sick podiatrist, Steven BLANKen , is “SO PROUD” of the former foot technician, Brad Wenstrup, who dropped out of the worlds greatest profession to go into a more lucrative con….Con GRESS. Perhaps Blanken has canine like senses. Just as dog here’s a “dog whistle”, Blank en must have heard some positives about podiatry that we didn’t. I didn’t hear him herald podiatry, did you? Wtf, Blanken, also wishes Wenstrup becomes PRESIDENT! A PODIATRIC PRESIDENT! Maybe the other 40 states forbidden to touch the ankle will be able to. Well, at… Read more »
Robert you’re 100% correct. Sorry, 110% correct. Podiatry was a 2nd, 3rd, 4th chance club. A brotherhood of losers. You’re also correct about that odd looking guy mr carpet bagger shatpirro. looks like the subway fast “food” shit house spokesman
“Intelligence” and podiatry was like oil and water.
There are chimpanzees scratching their heads at this very moment.
As soon as they learn to speak they take over Podiatry.
They spoke bullshit. They ate bullshit. They sold bullshit Like a realturd. Nows a great time to buy! Nows a great time to sell! Realtard.
Trying to get my Saturday going. Lot’s to do today but I have the TV on FOX NEWS. BRAD WENSTRUP being interviewed. Unshaven, looks tired, no tie, open collar with white undershirt beneath it. Looks like Josephson at a foot seminar. The scrawl below his name says, Member of the house INTELLIGENCE committee. I’m sure some of the readers here had him as a classmate. How was he in quack college? Was he a “brown nose”? Aggressive selling in clinic? Great grades? Did he have a practice before being called up to the military? Residency? Year graduated with that MD… Read more »
He was a podiatrist , what else to know? He was yet another clown. Scum bags. Podiatrists
There’s been a lot of bemoaning about the dearth (death?) of biomechquactics and the disinterest in it by new podlings. Perhaps, after 3 years of seeing what real DOCTORS do in the hospital, (certainly no orthotic labs there) they that see biomechquactics is NOT part of medicine anymore than an ancillary function, say like, Occupational or Physical Therapy. The pushing of ORTHOTIC biomechanics has been proven over and over to be NOT recognized by mainstream medicine and insurance companies. No one is saying that KINESIOLOGY is a false science but the extrapolation into a shoe insert is ludicrous and not… Read more »
I’m sorry to be a hog but I can’t stand it. I went quickly to the “student podiatry site” where they interviewed podiatrist Whitaker who say’s he spends 2-3 FULL days in the OR and is a STAFF PHYSICIAN AND PROFESSOR AT THE CLEVLAND CLINIC. Now, to me, this FAKE NEWS IS CRIMINAL AND MISLEADING STUDENTS into thinking podiatry is “just like” medicine. This guy, if true, is certainly not what you can expect to be as a wtf. DO PODIATRISTS EVER STOP LYING. He said he wanted to be a “surgeon” since he was 10 years old and podiatry… Read more »
Where did he go to uni? Likely Beltcherville State. Grade inflation is well known. They were scum bags and liars.
It’s pretty hopeless dear students and young technicians. This schizo profession is still fighting (Kevin Kirby) to learn SHOE MODIFICATION, ORTHTOIC BUILDING, STRAPPING AND “prescribing”??!! shoe inserts. BTW: shoe inserts are NON Rx. Anyone can dispense them. Look at the GOOD FEET STORE. ORTHOTICS are NOT considered medical and their efficacy is questionable. Most insurance won’t pay for them. (of course Hal Oreinstein types might have a billing code trick up their sleeve) Look at the dichotomy between medicine and podiatry. A technician writes in about a 62! year old MALE customer with met adductus and foot pain. He says… Read more »
They were scum bags. Follow the money. They loved money.
Look at Wenstrup. All congressional and professional but we know he leaned over thick toenails and clipped and buffed them. He scraped calluses applied moleskin and sold shoe inserts for a profit and we know what kind of school he went to. If he learned any medicine or surgery it was in the army by MD’s not in his quack school. Can you imagine him in the elite congressional dining hall saying I noticed you had a little varus and a touch of equinus and your shoe depth could be adjusted. No. Podiatrist FLEE from podiatry like bats out of… Read more »
They were scum bags. They were not honest men. They were scum bags.
Use of the p word was professional suicide
Perhaps it’s cognitive distance ? Too much reality?
