If you are researching medical school and invitations to podiatry start appearing please be cautious.
Is there a story that supports this?
Oh yes. I started getting podiatry school invitations and I was pretty reckless; now both my knees are broken. Be careful!
The avatars are misleading like the field.confused.... are you attempting to portray yourself as this person (avatar) or are you pre-pod with a liberal interpretation of the user status badges?
Decent article either way. A little rhetorical and self-inflating, but overall not bad 👍
The avatars are misleading like the field.
Was pre med and did research on the field and discovered how limited the degree was outside of podiatry. I learned that podiatry was not a regular medical specialty and that the career opportunities very limited even after the terminal degree even with a three year residency the scope of practice is not that of a full body physician. The brochures and recruiters make it seem like another specialty of medicine but according to the AMA they are not. I was really excited at the prospect of research but a DPM degree does not have much value there.
Are you a podiatry student? You keep saying "was pre-med"
directed to Duped
That is correct.So basically you thought podiatry school was medical school.
That is correct.
so then your the idiot correct?
so then your the idiot correct?
*you're
While this thread is a little bit silly and I cant really discern the purpose of the OP.... Please do not come in here blindly spraying inter-disciplinary flaming if you're just as guilty of what you are bashing another for. I have a very sensitive hypocrisy meter and it tickles funny when it goes off![]()
Apparently so. Thank you for pointing it out.so then your the idiot correct?
Excuse me, but the expression that I came here "blindly spraying inter-disciplinary flaming" is a bit over the top. My hypocrisy meter must not be plugged in, but you have many posts of experience which by default gives you seniority. I will not post comments such as the OP again.
I hope that itch has been scratched and you have not been tickled too funny.
The purpose of the OP was intended to highlight the deluge of confusing information and reflect upon this at what seemed like the appropriate forum.
Excuse me for any transgression.
I was defending you..... while your thread is a little lacking in substance, the guy I quoted was calling you an idiot simply for looking into podiatry 👍
I think he was calling him an idiot because he thought podiatry school was equivalent to medical school.
He thought podiatry was a medical specialty. Outside of medicine it is a common misconception. Ignorance is not the same as stupidity and it was a douchey comment
What are you? An english professor? When i check SDN on my phone i don't analyze every post i make for proper grammar. Do you do that in real life? Probably not. Anyway i called the OP an idiot for thinking podiatry school was medical school. If you want to play jiminy cricket go ahead but i don't sense any "hypocrisy" in my post.
I'm only posting in this thread to say that I have a friend who took the MCAT the same day I did "just for fun" before having taken Physics or Organic II and not having studied one bit for it.
He got a 19M.
Subsequently, he was offered admission into Podiatry School prior to graduating college, and enrolled immediately after his junior year of college. He was "given" a retroactive Bachelor's degree from his Pod school.
Thanks for the information.
Nope. Medical student![]()
I don't need a half assed explanation from you. The asinine insults don't serve any purpose and you might as well not communicate like a cave man if you want to try to insult someone in the first place. The OP is a legit noob, no doubt about it. Doesnt make him stupid and doesnt make you look any smarter for pointing it out 😉

the OP or his friend are stupid for entering a professional school without properly researching it.
Except this isn't what happened. So we have poor grammar, poor reading comp, and propensity for butthurt to boot 😉. Again, please keep your nonsense to yourself. You can claim all you want how little you care about the criticism from myself and others but your behavior suggests otherwise
says the medical student trolling the pre-med forum.

Are you even reading the thread or just making things up as you go along?whether you like it or not, the OP or his friend are stupid for entering a professional school without properly researching it.
Why don't you go look up the definition of trolling. You came in here and called the OP an idiot (well.... technically said something about "his idiot"but we can leave your 4th grade grammar alone for now 👍) on the basis, per your earlier post, that he entered a professional school without researching it. However, in reality the OP is a graduate student working on a PhD and this issue arose WHILE he was researching the topic. I underlined the use of that word so you could see the discrepancy between your interpretation and the facts as they truly are.
here is what he posted well before you came in here and douched on him
so he said "wow, I, like many other lay people, thought pod was a medical specialty. I found out I was mistaken. However the pod recruiters make it seem like it is more than this. I thought I would give other people a heads up" This is noobish as all get out, but how does your response below have ANY validity?
Are you even reading the thread or just making things up as you go along?
So you come in here to call someone an idiot for coming straight out up front and saying he was mistaken and KNOWS that pod isnt medicine even though he had thought so previously.
Who exactly is the troll here? little hint: trolling has nothing to do with the "appropriateness" of the user title for the subjection. If you feel there are any other simple matters that you need me to hold your hand and guide you through, I am here to help. Help me help you, hemmi. Help me help you. I would like to help you refrain from looking like "your the idiot" as much as possible around here 🙂
pretty sure its the guy going into so much effort to win a forum argument. At least we know your a medical student for sure seeing as you have nothing better to do. pew pew more bro.
ps: about the grammar issue your so held up on, most people don't consider it very important to analyze every single online forum post they make for grammar issues.
Hemorrage, you're getting owned pretty bad. Just leave it be...

Yeah, if there's one thing I've learned during my short stint on SDN, it's to never pick a fight with Specter. Not only do you have zero chance of coming out of it victorious, but you run a very high risk of embarrassing yourself in defeat.
1) *you're x2 (srsly...... )
2) it isnt so much careful analysis as just reading the post for what it legitimately says. In this case: "my a med student" and "my so held up on". Either way, the fact that you can't write proper sentences is secondary to the fact that you did so while questioning the intelligence of someone else for something that isnt actually related to intelligence. I don't really care if your grammar sucks (thats the appropriate use there, btw), I just care that you are being a douche to this guy only for initially being interested in podiatry and for discovering for himself that podiatry is not a medical specialty. Classy - and way to not address anything else in that post
3) also, since you seem incapable - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(Internet) We were on topic until you decided to come in here and demonstrate to all of us how cool you is 👍 So you can be "pretty sure" all you want. I am pretty sure there are plenty of other things you are also wrong aboutbut willingness to engage a troll is not what makes a troll so whatever amount of effort I am putting into this is completely irrelevant 😉
i'm responding to your stupidity on my cell phone so i don't have the patience to check for grammar on every sentence i write. I know 3 languages and unfortunately i don't have the patience to analyze grammar and learn its intricacies, why? I just don't give a crap about grammar. Believe me there are several people on this forum that will feel the same way. Doctors aren't graded on how well they write and most physicians that publish books have editors that fix issues like this. If your going to sit around and knock me for my lack of interest in grammar then go ahead but just FYI there are several people in your medical school class that will feel the same way as i do.
Now lets talk about you. Who are you? You claim to be a medical student, yet your in the pre-medical forum wasting your time on a forum argument. I could have simply forgot about this whole ordeal but people like you have a pole so far up your ass you just cant leave it be can you? The amount of effort, analysis and quoting your spending on this thread alone attests to the fact that you most likely have NO life outside of academics. Do i care? Not really. I have a right just as you do to say what i want. This forum is hosted on a datacenter located in the United States. If you want to hose me for calling the OP an idiot, go ahead, but realize that 1. i really DONT care what you have to say (primarily because you come off sounding like a self-righteous c***) and 2. your concept of "teaching me a lesson" by creating forum posts circulating improper use of grammar is pathetic. Get a real argument and something REAL to humiliate me on if your going to try.
I'm not trying to be cool, i just don't like people like you in real life or on SDN
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD,
you're = you are
your = belonging to or associated with the person or people that the speaker is addressing
You messed it up three more times, and you still can't seem to grasp the idea that SDN is but one facet of "real life"

No, I'm just one of several people who think you should stop making an ass out of yourself.
you feel like punching me in the face? bring it on you ******. I know multiple fighting styles, and I also carry a switchblade with me at all times. Something ****ing tells me that you'd be better off keeping your arms down at your sides. If you can't ****ing put "cause" and "effect" together in that pathetic brain of yours, I'll help you out here. You'll be standing face to face with me, and let me ****ing tell you, it'll already be too ****ing late to back down at that point. You might decide "well ****, I might as well stay true to my word and throw a ****ing punch". This is where you will go wrong. I hope you don't have a job that requires two ****ing hands, because you're going to be missing one after I'm done with you. I'll casually divert your fist off to the side, as you suddenly realize you may have gotten yourself into something you can't back up. You'll try to regroup and pull your arm back, but that wont be easy when I jab my spear-pointed Benchmade switchblade straight through the bone in your forearm, and proceed to rip your entire ****ing forearm and hand off in one quick pull. At this point, you'll probably spend 2 seconds in shock. I say 2 seconds, because thats the amount of time you'll have before I reverse the knife in my hand, and uppercut it straight through your throat. You'll spend your last few seconds gurgling blood, and wondering where you went wrong. After that, I'll be forced to take care of any witnesses who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Nothing a few quick choke slams can't fix, followed by a nice gentle slice across the jugular with the Benchmade.
Now, mother****er, you sure you want to go through with that punch?
