Huh?

By your yeah right are you agreeing or insinuating I am fabricating my story? It's true I do receive many surgical refrrals from orthopedists. Why does that surprise you? Many orthopedists work with DPMs and even hire them as part of their groups. I personally know 10 who are working full scope in large ortho practices and 3 of my residents have been hired by ortho groups in the last 2 years.
In addition 2 others have join large multidisciplinary groups that have orthopedists and do all of the foot and ankle work.
The problem with many on this site is they admit they are not making it, are not members of the APMA, ACFAS etc and therefor are out of touch of what's truly going on out there. They assume whatever is happening to them or a few friends is the average/status quo. Quite the contrary. This year there were more residency spots than graduates. PSR-24s went unmatched. Job opportunities now exist in previously untapped markets. One of my residents last week should me his contract with a starting salary of 140,000 plus bonuses. The rest have 70-100,000 bases.

You can believe it or not but things are not bad for everyone

Yeah right
