To answer questionsby Trey Anastasio (no login)Blankenship, the PPMR that I am at is very poor in podiatry, but as I said, I do a PSR-24+ after this. I do 3 months of podiatry at the residency director's office. That's my exposure to feet this year except for my other rotations. The consult that I brought up was for gen sx, not podiatry. What was very disturbing is that the attending treating this pt was informed from ID that the lady "needed a BKA". He then, without seeing the pt, consulted gen sx. Fortunately, I was on their service and recommended a partial ray amp which I performed. Unfortunately, she was d/c'd by the same attending without proper f/u and has since returned to have the BKA after I finished my rotation. To answer how she developed a decub on her medial 1st MPJ, she was contracted in such a way that she could only lay on her side. This obviously put pressure on the medial side of the 1st. Dr. Szabo, believe it or not, you can be contracted in more than one position. I will however tell you that this program is strong in medicine. I do learn a heck of alot, and have performed many procedures outside of my scope. I actually delivered a baby, and his feet were wonderful. Trey
