Yeah Rightby TUSPM Sudent (no login)Well, could you name the town. I find it hard to believe. I've found many areas in the South with no foot and ankle specialist in populations >50,000. Also your post is very misleading because the town may have 15,000 people but if you include the surrounding population the area may have 150,000 people in it. You make it sound like there's 5 pods serving 15,000 patients, which is BS. Also, regarding these "footcare nurses", there already is a nursing shortage, I'm not too worried about tons of graduating nurses turning to foot care, its not going happen. The only people that need be concerned are those that treat their patients with about as much quality of care as a nurse (a lot of the folks in this forum). There's plenty of patients (unless your're dumb enough to practice in an already oversaturated area), I would be more concerned with decreasing reimbursments than anything else. The post below also makes a good point, the APMA survey may be a skewed sample, but it also shows average trends. And the trends over the last few years have been very positive, not negative. I can't waste any more time in this wasteland of the Podiatry Forum. from IP address 155.247.166.24 Goto Forum Home |
