I Want to Work as a Podiatrist (Sarah Montgomery, DPM)
I offered a medical assistant job to Sarah here in San Diego, and unfortunately, it could not be arranged. I truly hope that this doctor gets into the podiatry field soon, as I told her in my e-mail. I truly feel saddened and have a kindred heart with this colleague. Sarah, you were wronged by your profession and the proletariat group that formed this cluster of nonsense that is known as a "podiatry residency standard". This is obviously a group of intellect devourers living and dining in a white, ivory tower.
You and the rest of the unmatched podiatry graduates have been long coming, and I am sorry that no administrator or educator or fellow student warned you of this. I saw this horrible cloud of unmatched residents looming on the horizon back in year 2000, as I was an unmatched soul looking for an out back then as well.
Somehow, I scrounged up a paltry program that should have had a flame thrower taken to it many years before, but this got me a foot in the door for a real residency program the following year. Sadly, this option is no longer available to you because of the impetus for podiatry to streamline their education profile.
Here is what I have to say to you, Sarah; do not despair, do not give up. Think about the times in school that you were the force, the guiding light. Your fellow students for sure relied on you many times for their educational lives during their time, and now, the deed will be repaid in spades. Please do not forget nor exaggerate the fact that you are a doctor, and are able to dispense the full armament of knowledge that a physician has at the helm. Expand your mind, forget about podiatry in the purest sense, work on humanity and the care it requires, it is still medicine.
Podiatry has abandoned you and your unmatched colleagues, and I stand by you all, and any future endeavor you may have in the wheelhouse. Philip Larkins, DPM, San Diego, CA, larko33139@yahoo.com
