Talk:Podiatrist

message: Podiatry regulations differ from country to country. In Australia podiatry is a Graduate Degree, hence they, the majority are not doctors of medicine but health professionals specialising in the disorders of the human foot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.221.69.121 (talk • contribs) 12:39, 8 September 2003  
:The bulk of this topic is pertinent to Podiatric Medicine and Surgery as practiced in the United States. This includes certifying boards, educational standards, residency, and scope of practice. There are common areas with other nations, including Australia, but there are quite significant differences. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PunkPod (talk • contribs) 00:57, 21 December 2004
::I agree. We need to talk about practice of podiatry and podiatric medicine in different countries. I'm suggesting a subhead and will make the division shortly DrGnu 04:18, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

thread_title: Chiropody translation

message: Came across this while researching medical specialties. I was shocked at how poorly it's written. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.82.9.90 (talk • contribs) 00:29, 19 April 2006 
:I agree. Chiropody does not translate to "foot and ankle." Chiros means "to straighten, or bring true." Think of other uses, like chiropractor. --Legomancer 12:16, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: In a word, yes—hence chiropractor ("one who works with the hands") and chirality ("handedness"). Nonstopdrivel (talk) 21:09, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

thread_title: Podiatrist vs Chiropodist

message: Should there be a section on Dr Scholl in this article?  There is also information that is repeated several times--the whole article could use some cleaning up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Steveholt (talk • contribs) 19:57, 30 December 2006 
:Dr Scholl section not non-POV.  "This ethos endures across the Scholl product range to the present day." --68.11.105.91 01:51, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Dr Scholl section?

message: General cleanup is needed on this article. It needs to be wikified, it needs a more concise style, as well as sourcing for the data contained within. --Lendorien 16:02, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I put a cleanup tag on the page for other reasons, namely the grammar and style. You're reasons are correct as well. A major scourging is necessary. --Valley2city₪‽ 06:30, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Cleanup 

message: Removed tangent material:
Dentists and Optometrists likewise, have a separate educational school system and thus there are five medical professions that allow for independent diagnosis and medical and surgical treatment: M.D., D.P.M., D.O., DDS/[[DMD] and OD.
Might be useful later. Stevecalloway 18:14, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

message: hi all
this page has been restored. please asist in impoving
because there is a dentistry and dentist page, it makes sense there is a podiatry, podiatrist page. now ive managed to start of this article but now we need to improve it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by PodDPM (talk • contribs) 06:12, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Improving this article 

message: This statement seems questionable, non-neutral, and inadequately supported by evidence.  Certainly there are qualified orthopedists to care for the ankle/foot complex.  It seems inaccurate to entirely overlook the orthopedists.  I think this should be removed entirely, especially as the only current reference offered is to a podiatry website (hardly neutral on the matter).  
Thoughts?
