He will tell you flat out if it is above the ankle he is clueless. He knows nothing about the rest of the body. He makes no qualms about it. He says I am a foot doctor and that is it. That is as far as my expertise goes.

Podiatrist
I recently went to the podiatrist and have a repetitive motion injury. This guy has an associate by the name of Dr. Achille - I didn't think it was very funny, but I know that some people keep up with this sort of list.

I had a podiatrist sm...
Who liked to dictate on a Sunday late morning. Fine, do your OP reports then, I don't care. One morning he had a distinct echo and I am thinking...he is in the bathroom. He dictates with a few pregnant pauses. I hear what I think it TP unrolling, but I am not sure. He cuts himself off at a point where I think I hear a toilet flush...

He gets back on and picks up where he left off. Fine. More pregnant pauses and this time, he flushes in the middle of the dictation, but waits for a bit to start talking again. He finishes that report.

Next report, still with the echo. He has been dictating about over about 20 minutes at this point. Someone calls him from another room. "I'm in the bathroom dictating," he says, "I'll be in out in a minute." More pregnant pauses, rolling sounds, but he finishes that report.

We go through three more flushes over the next few reports. The total time span for his intermittent dictations is about an hour and 15 minutes. I mean, I can see the time they were dictated! He was on the mug a LONG TIME.

By the end...buddy...I don't know what you ate, but I know what it did to you. Please take a dump on your own time, next time.

I didn't once hear him wash his hands and THAT is what really grossed me out.

My daughter's podiatrist doesn't have that, but
he has his own laptop in the exam room and her whole history is on it. He just presses a few buttons and everything's in her chart without having to transcribe and without any paperwork. Our eye doctor has one too. Too much technology nowadays.

LPN.glorified CNA..I'd not want to work in a podiatrist office if I went through the time to get
