Deadlift in socks like a man

There are a few folks on social media that slob all over the proverbial knob of ABFAS after passing in their final year of eligibility. They spend 6 years complaining about the gatekeeping function of ABFAS and then start touting its superiority once they finally pass. It’s sad, and laughable...

Little late on this one. Have already interviewed and scheduled people to come out in person…meanwhile even ortho jobs in the area can be hard to fill. God bless podiatry

That’s below 10th percentile for a general ortho. They aren’t “just” making $50 per wRVU. There’s more to their contract/compensation that they aren’t telling you or you aren’t telling us.

$60’s exists. $80’s may but that’s more than some ortho get so it’s a pipe dream. $40’s is criminal but in some regions it’s unfortunately standard. $350k in an employed production model isn’t hard unless you’re $40 per wRVU, then it takes around 9,000 wRVU which is top 10-25th percentile...

There are still plenty of ways to protect intellectual property and current client contacts/contracts without non-competes. The employee can be free to work for a competitor with a non-solicitation agreement, for example. No business needs to completely ban former employees from working for a...

Median home price in AZ is $435k. Their home is not unreasonable. $20k in car debt is not unreasonable for someone who underwent 7 years of post-graduate schooling and training with the ability to practice some form of medicine in this country. Even $325k of student loan debt isn’t bad for any...

Refers to girlfriend or wife as “partner” and pays her rent. Sounds like a ****hold more than a freeloader. Any ways, what may be more sad about the Ramsey show caller is that I believe I know who it is and they own their own practice. You can do well in PP but with ever increasing labor costs...

When they aren’t stealing from their residents…

If you are applying for jobs where the first person reviewing your application is another podiatrist (or his wife)…then it is us who have overestimated you. A job in which a podiatrist is in charge of hiring you, is rarely a good job Kidding aside. It’s easy to explain the situation to those...

Even if you get a DVT on a post op patient, you’re only really in trouble if you don’t recognize and make the dx. They get treated with some xarelto and that’s it. I don’t anticoagulate anyone without risk factors, and even then I’ll only anticoagulate if they are going to be NWB for an...

I’m sure I have the old AACPM documents on an old laptop. But yes, there were 2 students at Temple who were 4th year students who had not passed part I. They even talked about it at an APMA HOD meeting.

Not true. You put the name of the program and call it “intern year” on your CV. Since plenty of real doctors actually do intern years at separate facilities and programs than where they completed their specialty training, the folks hiring you or credentialing you won’t even think twice about it...

They were in the 110’s for their first year class when I was in school and they regularly graduated 80 something students. 20%+ attrition rates. That was also when Kent (OCPM) and Temple would both graduate students who hadn’t passed part I and part II. So they had kids failing those exams...

I would enjoy the additional free time personally
