From: Bret Ribotsky, DPM
With zero sponsorship, spending my own money, I attended the APMA board summit on Monday in DC. 100+ luminaries in our profession, came together with a significantly noticeable absence of the surgical board. I climbed the ladders within our profession to become certified in the separate boards that were available when I practiced; ABPO, ABPPM (merged into ABPOPPM, now ABPM), ABPS (now ABFAS). Each certification required significant requirements, training, testing, etc.
Over the last 10 years, I have advocated simplifying the incredible alphabet soup of initials. The concept of unification of our board certification process has begun. As ABFAS is the pre-eminent certification, I believe that their level and recognition needs to be preserved. So how do we get there? This was the purpose of the summit on Monday, but the failure of ABPS to formally participate was disappointing. A few of ABFAS’s board members were in attendance, and were quite cordial and productive in the discussions.
Moving forward... It’s crystal clear that representation in a weighted manner from all the principals to a new summit must occur. I recommend a number of well-trained clinicians who are no longer in practice, and have no dog in the fight, be used to protect and insulate the egos and agendas of each representative group. Our profession needs to move beyond respecting tradition, and needs to move into the future respecting innovation. What leverage is needed to start discussions?

REMEMBERING 9/11
Editor’s note: On this, the 23rd anniversary of 9/11, we continue our proud tradition of publishing the following note from the editor, which was published in PM News on 9/12/01 and circulated via the Internet throughout the world.
It is just after 3 AM here in New York City and I simply can't sleep. Looking out the window of my bedroom on the 17th floor, there is an unobstructed view of the Manhattan skyline. I search again for the once familiar sight of the two tall white buildings that marked the lower end of the skyscraper-filled island. All I see are some eerie search lights of the rescue crews.
Like everyone else, I have been in shock all day, particularly since I witnessed in real-time the morbid views of the second plane hitting the World Trade Center and the sequential collapse of both towers.
 |
World Trade Center 9/11/01 |
The gamut of emotions runs from shock, fear, sadness, to anger. Barely one half-century after the Holocaust, despite all our technological advances, man remains uncivilized. The realization sets in that the terrorists who committed this crime could have and still could set off a nuclear bomb, killing millions. The safety and security we have taken for granted in America is and will never be the same.
My phone has been ringing all day. Family and friends call to determine that everyone is safe. My mom calls to tell me my brother was scheduled to be at the WTC at 9 AM and was at the subway station when the first plane hit. Had the plane hit five minutes later, he would have been on an elevator headed for certain death.
Unfortunately, many thousands were not so lucky, including many employees of Blue Cross/Blue Shield, which only a few years ago moved from midtown to this location. There will be many tears shed as the names of those murdered in this horrific disaster become known, many unnecessary funerals to attend. So many innocent lives lost for no reason. So many families destroyed.
Later this morning, my wife and I will donate blood and attempt to do what we can in this time of crisis. We know the entire podiatric community will collectively pray for those affected by this catastrophe and provide whatever support is needed.

RESPONSES/COMMENTS (PM ARTICLES) - PART 1B
From: Paul Kesselman, DPM
The article cited in a recent PM News edition requires some updating. Since it was written and published, CMS has made a change with respect to the process of prior authorization of bone stimulators. Due to some technical issues with various generations of this technology, CMS last week announced that they were halting the prior authorization process on bone stimulators. When enforcement of this process takes place, CMS promises to make another announcement.

RESPONSES/COMMENTS (PM ARTICLES) - PART 1
From: Ali Davis, DPM
I just wanted to make a comment about the AI article recently written. I have explored AI in my practice but a big concern is the reason this is free or cheap to us is because they are planning to phase us out- we are feeding the computers the data and knowledge to phase us out- it is allowing computers to collect data and eventually a company will use this to charge patients money to diagnose and treat themselves- not good for our profession. I personally do not plan to use this technology as it is helping to phase out physicians. It is not good for our profession.
