Replyby John Anderson (no login)Dear Sir/Madam: Thank you for your note. I was a member of the APMA even as a student since all students MUST pay for APMA student dues. I wrote many letter without a response, "went to bat" for many DPMs to be treated as equals without unfair prejudice and the APMA sits idly by talking about things or having another embarrassing walkathon or telethon for heel pain. I also taught for several years at podiatric colleges and was quite dismayed by the poor caliber students (some were bright and there for the right reasons) most were there to fill seats and add tuition fees to keep the schools afloat financially. The representative on the 20/20 program in 1995 was cut off and only snipets of his discussion were added in a pejorative nature. The blatant lies and mistruths purported by that "news" program did damage to the DPMs. and that is also libel. To write a letter is embarrassing because it lacks credibility and does not force/enact change. from IP address 134.174.248.160 Goto Forum Home |
