Greed is a drug for some people.
I feel some podiatrists who have limited streams of making money (because they suck at surgery) would be more inclined to get involved in these kick back scams.
I also feel podiatrists are great targets because in general they are rather dumb. This treatment modality doesn't even make sense. The fact they would go for it and put these poor patients through these ridiculous treatments and pocket hundred of thousands or even millions of dollars is disgusting. Not only should they face jail time but they should have their license permanently revoked.
Let this guy get destroyed in jail and when he re-emerges he can only work at McDonald's. That would be just
