RESPONSES/COMMENTS (NON-CLINICAL) - PART 2A

RE: Discrimination Against DPMs (Jonathan Michael, DPM)

From: Richard Haas, DPM

 

I have been in practice 44 years and can’t understand why the APMA has not been able to make podiatrists physicians in the eye of the law. I have seen pharmacists giving injections and physical therapists giving wound care freaking our profession out.

 

Being recognized as a physician should have always been the most important goal of the APMA, not worrying if we are MDP or PMD, etc. Who cares about that if we are not recognized as physicians. Where does our dues money go? DOs and dentists seem to know what to do with their money in regards to political action for their members.
