Something something pull yourself up by your boot straps something something
Looking at the guy’s website, he’s okay. Kinda a Dave Ramsey “hustle in any way possible until you’re in a good spot” type. No time to watch the video today.

But if you want real mileage with someone from a different specialty, seems like getting a vascular or ortho etc. doc who covers pod residents makes more sense. Hey, how do the inter-specialty things really work? Heck, I can at least talk about similarities between fields per usual.

Man, they’re gonna want to delete those in a few years when they’re looking for jobs and only find $120k PE jobs.

That resident’s IG account is just a bunch of videos about shoes. Looks like she’s learning a ton in residency.
 
Would be nice if true so the majority of folks would be lapping the latest retina salary on Marit

Guy definitely doxxed himself and his $28/wRVU since there’s only one residency program in Indiana, and he’s the only one that fits the age range (impressive they’re bad enough to only have 2 docs).

Best part? Google has a decent amount of dirt on him cheating to win a Magic the Gathering tournament. Interesting claim to fame.

I used to kinda "win" at those MTG tournaments just by being in the the 20% who were normal BMI
....and in the 5% who was able to talk to girls (I didn't win so much at the cards part tho).
I honestly wonder how you cheat... mark cards to a bit to cut to them? Counterspell card up the sleeve?

Lol I assume this Was inspired by that Reddit post of the "top 10 residency grad" only being able to find 125K job offer.

It seems like a lot of podiatrist are catching on though, because the majority of the comments (even from people that have been in practice a while, and current residents and students) are saying all the stuff that we have been saying here for years. Usually on Reddit, there's a bunch of people defending podiatry, but slowly overtime I have noticed the tides have turned, and even people that are doing relatively well financially are not happy and think the field and saturation and just healthcare in general has gone to crap.

The most recent ACFAS podcast teaches residents how to find jobs.

They featured two “fellowship-trained foot and ankle surgeons.”

Guess where they work?

One is in private practice, and the other works for Upperline.

The podiatry job market is so saturated now that you apparently need to do a fellowship just to land a PE podiatry job or PP.

Ive never understood how a night splint is actually beneficial.

Only works if you hold your knee straight. Once anyone falls asleep in an uncomfortable splint the knee will bend. Gastroc relaxes. Very little achilles/p fascia stretching is happening at the cost of poor sleep quality.

Isloated Soleus equinus? Yes. But how common is that?

I dont recommend their use.

You don’t have to wear it when you sleep I tell most my patients it’s be super uncomfortable to do that. Best to do when sitting on the couch, watching tv/doomscrolling/making podiatry memes on sdn

But good points otherwise
 
My theory is what does a night splint do that regular daily stretching doesn’t do? If they’re going to be compliant and stretch 2-3x times a day, then save them the trouble of the night splint.

But now the memes thread is starting to sound like PM News.

As a nerd (obviously as an eye doc), I surprisingly never played MTG. The Reddit thread says he likely marked sleeves, fake shuffled, and had a weird blend of cards to make stacking easier. I don’t know how egregious this is.

Sounds like a TFMTGP. Doubt he can be a TFO in academics. Have to see if I have contacts over there and get the scoop.

Now I’m probably going to have to look up some Comic Book Guy greatest hits on YouTube.
