Thought on Dr. Rby Anomalous (no login)Did he really say "4th highest paid main medical specialty"?? That's pretty funny. There ARE only 4! (MD, DO, DDS, DPM). Pods treat 60% of all foot and ankle problems? I really doubt it when you consider all of the minor stuff that's treated by FP's, etc. Even if that stat were true, what does it mean?? "Podiatrists are higher trained today with a larger scope of practice than ever before" Yes. "Podiatrists treat nearly 70% of orthopedic foot and ankle problems". Probably. "Podiatry is one of the fastest growing specialities in medicine". HAH! Is this based on the dwindling numbers of matriculating students? On the insurance panels strictly limiting pods? from IP address 63.206.141.167 Goto Forum Home |
