Seinfeld sings a different tune

[OhEmGee]

Jerry Seinfeld was at NYCPM last week to thank one of the Doctors for successfully treating his heel pain. He also made a donation to the school.

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld visited the New York College of Podiatric Medicine (NYCPM) today to express his gratitude to APMA member Joseph D'Amico, DPM, for ending his 30-year struggle with heel pain. Dr. D'Amico, a former chair of the orthopedics department at the school and a longtime instructor, succeeded where numerous other medical professionals failed by identifying the biomechanical basis of Seinfeld's problem.

Seinfeld told his story to a small group of NYCPM faculty members. When speaking about his eponymous award-winning sitcom, Seinfeld said, "I have a hard time watching the reruns because I see the shoes on my feet and remember how painful that experience was."

To show his appreciation for the outstanding care he received from Dr. D'Amico, Seinfeld made a donation to the Gait Laboratory for Biomechanical Research at the school, as well as an additional donation to fully fund the Richard O. Schuster Memorial biomechanics seminar.

Very nice! Wonder how much the donation was exactly.

Love Seinfeld. The episode with the podiatrist makes me laugh even though I plan on going to Pod school. The way I see it, if you're worried about not being respected by everyone, then you're doing it for the wrong reasons!

Why does a Podiatric school have a department of Orthopaedics? And why is there a chairman of said department?

 

[Sig Savant]

NYCPM has three departments - surgery, medicine, and orthopedics. Meaning podiatric surgery, podiatric medicine, and podiatric orthopedics.

While a podiatrist performs all of these tasks, it makes sense to have experts in each area as the chairman and faculty of each department.

 

[PADPM]

Why does a Podiatric school have a department of Orthopaedics? And why is there a chairman of said department?

In this instance it is referring more to biomechanics. As per a prior post the majority of the schools have a dept of surgery with the obvious emphasis on surgery, a department of medicine with an emphasis on non biomechanical or surgical issues such as dermatological issues, rheumatological issues, infectious disease issues, medical issues (diabetes), etc. And a dept of "orthopedics" for issues such as biomechanics, gait analysis, sometimes physical therapy, etc.

Hope this clarifies your concerns.
