RD M.D.?by (no login)I'm new to this forum and just posted in the section "why podiatry". I then started reading other posts through the forum, mainly by RD. He signs his name RD M.D., doesn't have a login or email to contact. I think RD is an imposter and if he is an M.D., he is a disgrace to his profession! Any real M.D. has respect for other health care professionals, and that includes podiatrists and orthopedists. Any real M.D. knows better. His posts appear to be full of comparisons of an M.D. vs D.P.M. as some kind of hiarchy. Well, this is an old and immature argument of someone who is completely ignorant. We have all run into these type of doctors and its a shame that they can't see past their noses. These doctors who refer only to "my othopedic buddies", etc, etc, etc are missing out. Thank goodness we live in a free country and people can choose their own doctors. Bigotry and ignorance is a vile attitude and does not have a place in medicine. One more thing. We know that our profession has its share of poor practitioners, but I'll bet you can find just as many M.D.'s , including orthopods, who think they own the world, but don't know didly about medicine, patient care, have poor communication skills with patients and have such poor surgical technique , I would'nt even let them tie my shoes. I've seen it from experience. So RD, get off your high horse and come back down to reality. Your argument that podiatrists are all just a bunch of toenail clippers and aren't 'real' doctors, just makes you look that more silly. The winds of change have blown by you like a frieght-train. from IP address 24.175.161.120 Goto Forum Home |
