| QUERIES (NON-CLINICAL) | |
Query: Controlling Theft of Instruments in Treatment Rooms
My office has been in the same location for over 35 years. This year, for the first time, I am running into a new problem: theft of instruments. The one instrument that they tend to be stealing the most are curettes. I wonder if they have some special use in legal or illegal drugs paraphernalia.
Has anyone ran into this problem and if so, how have you handled it? I cannot see myself and staff, having to put locks on drawers. Any ideas would be helpful.

| RESPONSES/COMMENTS (PODIATRIC RESEARCH) | |
From: Kathleen Neuhoff, DPM, DVM
When I went to veterinary school, one of the things we were frequently told was that the difference between a medical profession and a trade was research. Over my career, my veterinary practice participated in eight phase 2 clinical trials. Although they were a pain in the rear, and the compensation was never adequate, it was understood that it was an obligation to participate in them. As a podiatrist, I have never been asked to participate in any kind of clinical trial and nearly all of the podiatrists I know have also never participated in one.
Most research in podiatry seems to be done by a few remarkable and prolific individuals. I do not think the importance or value of research has ever been instilled into podiatry students, and the lack of such research is one of the obstacles that slows our road to parity.

| RESPONSES/COMMENTS (PM ARTICLES) - PART 1 | |
From: Joel Lang, DPM
When I first opened my practice, I had a great mentor, Dr. Charlie Turchin, a diamond in the rough. He taught me that if I could not earn a living in 50 weeks, working 52 would make no difference.
Another mentor was my practice management professor at the New York College, Dr. Elizabeth Roberts, who taught me to practice on my first day the way I wanted to be practicing 10-20 years later. Don’t start one way, thinking that someday you will change. You probably won’t (though in some ways I did).
Combining these two pieces of advice, I decided that I wanted and deserved a 2-week vacation each...

| RESPONSES/COMMENTS (PM ARTICLES) - PART 2 | |
From: Robert D Teitelbaum, DPM
Paul Kesselman's Podiatry Management article about "allopathic" medicine and how DPMs are allopathic doctors was a great lesson in the real meaning and the corruption of common words that we use to describe our professional status. I would also like to bring up three words that have held us back professionally and consistently for 40 years and I have not seen them much talked about. Those three words are "routine foot care".
My thesis is this:
1. There is no complaint about foot pain that is routine. A patient who realizes that her bent 2nd toe has a painful corn on the first joint that hurts in all shoes is in distress. They need someone to counsel them on the choices they may face and the treatments that are relevant. The patient wants our experience, knowledge, and ability to communicate. They want a plan of action--in other words they want...

| RESPONSES/COMMENTS (OBITUARIES) | |
My deepest condolences to Dr. Gerry Gorecki, my past Director at the West Haven VA Hospital Podiatric Residency program, and still serving with the Yale New Haven Hospital Podiatric Residency program, on the passing of his brother Richard. I had the pleasure of working with Richard in the past years, both at the West Haven VA during my residency, and in his office in Madison, CT. Richard was dedicated to his practice and the VA Hospital.
R.I.P. Richard and thank you for leaving your accomplishments in our profession.

A patient came in today concerned about the swelling in her lower legs and ankles. She wanted to know if I knew where she could purchase those "depression" socks?
