MOney Making a derivative of Big Power Surgeryby PodResident (no login)From my experiences thus far as a second year resident I have noticed a few important points that may be helpful for pod students and potential pod students. You DON"T need a powerhouse 4 or 3 year program to be successful. I know of many 4 or 3 year program grads who do poorly due to the fact that they think that their "education" entitles them to more pay than PPMR or PSR12 grads. Education does not equal success in Pod or in any profession. It's business sense, problem solving, networking, personality, etc. I know of many PPMR grads who make 200K + a year due to their business sense, personality and the insight to HIRE Surgically trained people to work for them. Sure, all this PPMR guy does is injections, nails, callus and other not so glorious part of our professoin, but hey, the one doing all those WOnderful Triple Arthrodesis etc are working for this PPMR guy and making money for this PPMR. WHo is the smarter one here? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Now, on the other hand, I know of another PPMR grad who sits, complains and probably posts on this board about how bad our profession is, how lowly Podiatrists are to other professions, Oh this, oh that. Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Remember people, the world revolves around business, money, lies and politics. ppMR, PSR12, PSR24, PSR36, PSR48 doesn't guarantee or entitle you to anything. Seek out positive people, learn from them pick their brains, that is almost as good as picking their pockets. Unsuccessful people will find you out. Just look all over this forum. from IP address 66.176.54.4 Goto Forum Home |
