Allow me to play through.......by Podiatrist (no login)here we go again....lol I hope you are learning something from all these chats. I'm sure those folks following our exchange here will come to realize who is indeed the "plain" one. I for one, allow my insight into your predictable arguments and responses, speak for me. The silly jibes about cutting corns and callouses never bothered me, you see. My self worth was never built on the impressions of others. Those poor misguided individuals who lack the inner strength to assume their full character in life, have their own misery to contend with. What I do know is this; I completed my residency about ten years ago. I found a job with an excellent doctor, I learned from my experience, I started my own practice, it grew, my investments grew as did my self-confidence. As did my net worth. My self-worth was never at issue, unlike you my friend. I could retire within the next 5 years, if I choose. Do I think the MD/DO's respect me? I don't really care, seeing as that I'm the one telling the Internist to clear my patient for Wednesday's case. Or telling the Radiologist to re-read that MRI, since he missed that 10cm soft tissue mass surrounding the achille's tendon. Or telling the Anesthesiologist to put my patient under light sedation as I perform an ankle block. And you know what? They listen, without a peep. Because in this world you command respect. And funny, never once in ten years of practice has one mouthed off to me, to my face at least. I'm sure there are ignorant fools that might disparage podiatry behind my back, too bad they haven't the guts to say it to my face. I guess It's kind of hard to speak directly against an honest, accomplished and decent individual. This may be a revelation to you, as you are still chasing your demons here on these Podiatry sites, perhaps it will give you something more; enlightenment. Hold on to that "Masters of Turf Management" degree, it may be the only evidence you have of your abilities in life. I'll hold on to my patient's good word and good will. Those kinds of things don't tend to go up in smoke when life get a bit heated. Keep up the good work, and keep working on that handicap. from IP address 205.188.116.134 Goto Forum Home |
