My Point Exactly!by Dr. David Stellqwagen (no login)Truely. it is seemingly one of the sadest things to me to see such ungrateful souls. This is indeed an absolutely wonderful profession with a lot of great guys in it. Shure there are some schmucks too, but what profession is without a few of those? I practice with a group of pods in Georgia where the association is strong and the people are definately out here to help each other. All of the guys I know are making a wonderful living for themselves and their families. They are also doing an awesome good for the community. They accomplish sometimes what seem to be miraculous things and indeed they save lives in the literal as well as figurative sense. When That Diabetic patient can't walk and even just go to the grocery store, when they live in constant fear of amputation and or death from the disability they have and then they find help from a podiatrist who decides to CARE FOR THE PATIENT INSTEAD OF THE GOD ALMIGHTY DOLLAR; suddenly miracles happen, lives indeed are restored and great benefit to the community accomplished. Now you money grubbing posters out there, if money is all that matters to you, you are in the wrong profession. Not that podiatrists, myself included don't make a fine living for themselves, but if it's it wealth, real wealth you want, become a magnate of industry or chairman of Boeing, orWells Fargo Bank, or become an actor or pitcher or quarterback, or whatever. Doctoring isn't about the G*d D#mn money. It's about helping others. The money is a side effect! from IP address 68.155.176.7 Goto Forum Home |
