First Visit to this Siteby Chris (no login)What a bunch of crap this website is. People have nothing better to do than complain about their sad state of affairs. Podiatry has enough good people in it, and good people coming up through the ranks that all the criers and losers can leave if they want. Just because someone doesn't have as good of a residency training as their peers, or the business sense to survive in the real world, doesn't mean that Podiatry is doomed to failure. All healthcare is feeling a crunch right now with escalating medical malpractice costs and "lottery lawsuits" based on nothing more than "it's my turn to get rich". This other crap about sending rearfoot to the orthopods, well if you weren't trained for it, then send it to whoever you want. But the truth is many of your podiatric colleagues are being trained to handle anything in the rearfoot and are being trained side by side with the orthopods. Podiatry is evolving and isn't the cash cow it was in the 70s and 80s with bunionectomies getting paid thousands of dollars. The world of healthcare is changing so either you adapt with it and continue to succeed, or you sit back and have nothing better to do than complain and whine to this site. Deal with it. from IP address 68.233.44.208 Goto Forum Home |
