I'm happy for you!

I am sorry your experience with podiatry has not been the same as mine. I do know that if you are not happy and do nothing about it then you're a whiner and spineless.
You are doing something about it and I applaud you. It takes courage to make any career change and I wish you success.
I will always support podiatry because I care deeply about it and have done well within this profession. I work with several DOs who are excellent doctors but a few are frustrated MDs and share some of our discrimination (usually behind their backs). I must disagree about the foreign country assessment since I have lectured and done surgery in several foreign countries and know that DOs are restricted in most. But you put it best when you said who cares. Be the best DO and I wish you success. Your marriage will be fine, people who are logical and have a spouse who supports them when they are not happy are bound to grow old together.
