Cat Tenotomiesby (no login)Is it possibile for a podiatrist to hook up with a DVM? After all, there's only one different letter in the degree. I read recently that there was a DPM who had his cat chew off fungal nails and by accident the Siamese took a swing at three bulging extensor tendons at the dorsum of the foot. The DPM, I heard billed for the Cat Tenotomies and went on to adopt several other felines from the animal shelter in our small town. Since this is a relatively small town, the idea of having ones nails chewed off and tendons cut by well trained animals has caught the eye of a reporter for a national magazine. I am wondering if any of the very rich podiatrists who have paid off their student loans and make a lot of money, like that doctor who said he did 20-25 surgeries a week and is going to osteopathetic school has considered this before jumping ship for another profession. There are a lot of vets out there. Look at all of the Vet Administration hospitals and how few DPMs work there. I sure hope someone doesn't take this great idea to bring podiatry into the mainstream does not delete this from this very important message board. from IP address 64.157.146.67 Goto Forum Home |
