By Ortho1This review is from: McGlamry's Comprehensive Textbook of Foot and Ankle Surgery, 2-Volume Set (Hardcover)
How can any Podiatrist write a book on Ankle surgery? It is like a blind person writing a book on art appreciation! How many Podiatrist do a Orthopedic residency, Foot and Ankle fellowship, take acute trauma on a daily basis at major University trauma centers? At best maybe 1% of the Podiatry profession has any ankle training and usually they are from the military. Podiatry training is very sketchy and they can't handle their own complications for any number of reasons including 50 different scopes of practice in 50 States. How can people who are limited by law in most States from even touching the ankle decide they will teach Ankle surgery? The Podiatry profession is good at billing and performing procedures they decide are legit without any literature on the subject except what they decide is valid.
Podiatry should stick with bilking the public with their "lazer" toenail procedures that are about 30% effective and cutting corns and calluses. If I had an ingrown toenail I would go to a Podiatrist but of course get a bill consistent with cardiac surgery. They are Allied Health Professionals who can't admit without a physician co admit and in most States and cant even perform a legit H/P. Unfortunately the public falls victim to their nonsense. Students who had 2.86 gpa in unknown undergraduate schools playing DR. and expecting parity. Sorry, ain't gonna happen. "
Please go to amazon and email amazon.com authorities this untrue rendition of our profession. Please dont let uneducated individuals defame our training.
