One of my best friends is a recently-graduated podiatrist that does surgery in our country's armed forces. I don't know if he's part of the set of services that you are talking about but he takes care of real soldiers with real problems and does podiatric surgery (without any MD assistants except for the anesthiologist). The patients are real, the medical pathologies are real, the surgeries are real, the complications are real. The money is real, too.

He loves what he does and is privleged to do it and couldn't give a rats-butt what most of the dissenting people in here peddle.

It's alright to have an ego but if your ego is so deflated because you have a DPM then go get your MD and be happy and let us carry on the fight. No one is stopping you from achieving what you want to. If it's not being a DPM then for the love of god, do something that does make you happy and earns you the money and respect you so desire.

Thanks for listening.
