Sorry, deleted original post, maybe it had too much information...

Status Pre-MedicalHonestly, nothing will happen to you. What might happen is you'll probably just walk away with a warning.
Only the ultimate D -bags would make a big deal about that but who knows with some of the Podiatrists I've met? I doubt it would even be an issue in a MD residency.
I feel like its pretty brave of you to post this up for everyone to see. Especially the details of the attendings. It was an interesting read, but perhaps you should delete it?
Saw a comment in a derogatory vein re: plumbers, compared to a podiatry post graduate training, YR II.
Plumbers are truly needed, they meet integral needs, and do not create or define needs-that's a salesmen.
Many plumbers earn well over 6 figures and control their own shop rather, than being an employee and at the mercy of some corporate health "care" exec deciding what ya get paid, when ya get paid, if ya get paid, or slick of a pen and ya gone.
The arrogance of some thinking they are better or deserve special treatment because of an unknown triad of letters is laughable. And that goes for MDs, DMDs, and others. Every job is honorable. janitor to chief thief.
Plumbers are not dependent on ACA, ACOs, PPOs, HMOs, BOs, UFOs, lawyers, decreasing reimbursements, or jockying health "care" in a sinking ship country in a severe recession with no end in sight. That's economic reality for the 99%.
People are not going to stop paying for sanitation/clean water/plumbing in america.
They will think, twice, three times a lady, about paying out of pocket for podiatry service providers in this environ, especially when they have other more pressing medical issues, ie., rotting teeth, bloody sputum, and CHF. etc...
So the post-grad pediatric residecncy director can't bill, or get money from her/his trainees/lackies. So what, the hospital gets ~hundred thou per rezy. If radiographing his wife's foot is "unacceptable" it in the least, merely reinfornces the pettiness, cattyness, inferiority complexes, and unprofessional nature of some in podiatry.
Thank you.
