Regarding my opinion the future of
podiatric malpractice trials:
This will allow all podiatrists that lack
the "formal podiatric training or
formal podiatric board certification"
credentials can finally be allowed to
perform podiatric surgical
procedures they can adequately
perform as well as have videotapes
backing up any claims that they
were adequately performed. Their
podiatric training and podiatric
surgical credentials should not be
used by any attorney to attack or
protect any claims if malpractice was
committed because a videotape is
present. Only relevant evidence as
to if podiatric malpractice occurred
regarding the specific podiatric
procedure should be allowed into
evidence. Since we are entering the
digital age, the photographing and
videotaping of podiatric procedures
for all podiatrists that lack the
demonstration of current
competence should become
mandatory in all hospitals OR's as a
start. Having a videotape opens up
the door to truthfulness and
openness as to if podiatric
malpractice did or did not occur. It is
possible in the future as we travel
through the digital age,
podiatric surgical training and
podiatric board certification may
eventually be disallowed as evidence
and instead the
photographing and videotaping of
podiatric surgical procedures will
instead be allowed into evidence.
What is more
relevant, a list of a podiatrist's
surgical credentials or a videotape of
that podiatrist performing any
podiatric surgical procedure that
comes up. I already posted these
opinions of mine on other websites. disclaimer: do not rely
on the above opinions.
They are only personal
opinions by a podiatrist
that is not an attorney .
For any legal opinions
please contact a
licensed healthcare
attorney. If you wish to

Podiatrist Malpractice was
not committed "please
disregard any lack of
podiatric surgical training
or certification." Only the
videotapes or photographs
should be used as
evidence.
