decision-replyby podsqd (no login)I am a proud graduate of the Illinois College of Podiatric Medicine. It was the finest decision I and they ever made. I took my training and skills and went into the Army where I had the opportunity gain furthur training with orthopods. The military showed no animosity toward Podiatrists because we were all too busy and helped each other. I taught them foot surgery and they taught me upper and lower extremity traumatology. I scrubbed in on their cases and they mine. I could not put a price tag on the military experience. The criteria for choosing which school came down to which ever school accepted me first would get my money. I saw something in them and apparently they saw something in me. I eventually married an army trained MD and life has been just wonderful. After 27 years of practice, I have gone to the VA and she does private practice. We have outgrown the prejudices and have a most gratified life. from IP address 152.131.10.70 Goto Forum Home |
