Anyone qualified by SMAE

Maybe we will get a response from Medisrch - who is Mike Batt at SMAE - as I'm sure he is following this thread with interest. Over to you Mike....

 

Not what I heard;

Perhaps you beauty school is the best place for your ignorance, rudeness, apparant laziness and insurance ??

Go and have a little lie down in case your getting too stressed perhaps

You have no place here where your attitude problem is counterproductive to those requiring information and learning from this site :hammer:

Me too Si and dogs even more

Got the wrong Simon or that film would have ended with me retrieving the cat's anus through it's mouth. Either that or giving it a saucer of anti-freeze.

 

Your the man your the man !!!

Thinks that was the wrong target, Del - a case of collateral damage in today's parlance....

 

Interesting. Which "foot hospital"? When I was interviewed for Sussex in 1987, I was told that it was a female dominated profession, with around 3:1 female to male ratio. Certainly my year group demographics and all the subsequent year groups which I was involved in the education of seemed to reveal a big female bias.

 

Hello there,

I am qualified with SMAE. I havent had any problems myself but have heard of a previous colleague who registered elsewhere for her insurance. She was advised she was unable to use the letters after her name. I dont know how true that is

Sorry i couldnt be more help and sorry to hear about your problems

Gayle

 

Sorry Mark never thought of that
Cheers

Letters? Who cares? To quote the Goons: "Neddy Seagoon. A G G. Moriarty: What's AGG for? Seagoon: For the kiddies to ride ..." If you are paying for the letters, when you stop paying you can't use the letters any more, if the letters were awarded they stay with you... no brainer, right?

 

Wicked child! Sounds a bit rude....

Hi Gayle, bet she was well upset (as my offspring would say, using adverbs well out of context) But really, what is in a letter? Most are abv. of membership to a prof body...easily replaced.

All the best
Bel

 

I wouldn't have thought they could stop you using the letters indicating your qualification - only the letters indicationg that you are a member of SMAE?

 

I think there is a bone of contention about that one as well

BUT

My take on it is If I am not a member of the British Chiropody & Podiatry Association because I have resigned and they do not provide my insurance then I can no longer use the MBChA letters.

BUT

I passed everything required and paid for the teaching in full to obtain the rest of my qualifications. They are mine to keep forever irrespective of whether I am compelled to return the Diploma's. I don't think anyone can alter that.

Now that may not be the opinion of Mike Batt but lets hope we never have to find that out in practice and I don't know whether this has ever been tested legally.

I do know of a person that was advertising and working for age concern using a fellowship, and diploma in podiatric medicine qualification from smae amongst many others.

A patient came to me with an horrendous tale of woe as to the Tx she had received. I asked her to get the details of this person and put the complaint in writing to me which she did.

The person providing Tx did not put her name to anything only chiropdist podiatrist followed by a string of letters.
I forwarded the letter to smae and was informed they wrote to age concern requesting details of this person. That was some 2 years ago.

The woman in question ( claims to be a retied nurse)is still doing home visits for age concern @ £25 a time . I have sorted 2 patients recently who had ingrown nails from bad nailcare after this woman ministrations


So it would appear the smae's efforts were ineffective in this instance.
Cheers

When I next get a "tale of woe" about the treatment patients of mine have received from other practitioners, I must ask them to put it in writing to me, so that I can at last do something about it, as I have heard stories regarding 3 chiropodists, and one in particular whose name is always being spoken about, in my area. I myself would like to go and get some help for a foot problem, but I honestly dont think I would trust any of those three, and I am very keen to fine someone else in whom to place my trust! I am in Bournemouth UK

 

If Winchester is not too far ??

Ive sent you an email with a suggestion
Cheers
Derek

 

erm...I'm afraid it is lol

 

I just read your email though...thanks for that...

 

Del

Amazing how the thread degenerates rapidly when you contribute.

I do think you owe carolethecatlover an apology , having mixed her up with catfoot.

So- it is ok for you to run down a Smae pod who has caused ingrowing toe nails, yet whenever I have raised the very same point in the past over grandparented and unregulated , you come down on me like a ton of bricks.

I love the double standards- it suits your 'two faces..'.........

Cornmerchant

ps-you sounded like you were also having a go at retired nurses- dont forget you latest chum is just that.

 

hhhmmmm?

 

may be its all in the "attitude" CM?

 

CM

Funny how your always on the same thread innit

No I don't owe anyone an apology that can be that openly rude and offensive to someone simply asking a question and if she had the guts to put her proper name instead of using a pseudonym then perhaps she would attract more respect.

As usual your blinkered outlook has totally missed the point !!

I don't believe the woman I quoted was qualified to hold those letters. She had strings of different "qualifications" SRCh may have been another I cant remember but she never put her name to any letterhead or business card Just Chiropodist / Podiatrist then the string of letters.

...

I have a reputation for saying what I think, and that goes for speaking you as well, I tell it like it is from my point of view. Maybe you don't like what I say..Tough.

Show me an instance where I have shown "double standards or been two faced??

Now PUT UP OR SHUT UP CORNMERCHANT

Only in that twisted little mind of yours I suspect any reasoned thinking person should be able to distinguish between the two, it really isn't that hard....
Cheers

Del

Please go back and read the thread- carolethecatlover, who isnt even in this country, has never been rude or offensive. You have made a mistake, just have the decency to apologise. Your argument should have been with catfoot.

Maybe your posts are not always easy to grasp when you go off on one??

Regards
Cornmerchant

 

Yes

You are correct the error was mine and I accept I made the mistake.

I Apologise to the offended party ( not you CM) and readdress my comment to the appropriate pseudonym.
Cheers
Derek

 

Can't you all just kiss and make up?? lol

 

R U SURE !!!!!!
Cheers
D

 

CM

Having complied to your request to apologise for an error.....

If you cannot comply with my request then perhaps you can apologise to me for your untrue statement and slur on my character??


Cheers
Derek

 

.....

 

Nah Michael not quite at that stage yet

cheers
D

 

You Guys

I would actually be disappointed if you DID kiss and make up.:drinks

Cheers,
Bel

 

I promise not to disappoint you then Bel

Enjoy the ride

A few years ago the Royal College of Surgeons wanted to chase up those using the letters F.R.C.S but not paying annual subs. Their lawyers advised that, as the qualification was obtained by examination any attempt to force them to give up the letters would surely be unsuccessful. They took no action.

 

To those it may concern,

Er, no Mark, I would class it as "friendly fire", this wasn't fallout from the right target, it was totally the wrong target !

Originally posted by Mark,

I am happy to toddle off back to the "cesspit" where there is quite an erudite discussion taking place - but of course that would be no interest to you chaps would it, because maybe you wouldn't want to be seen with effluent on your shoes ?

Catfoot

And I'm sure we are all happy to see you go there

You will be in like minded company and continue to damage the profession with your bigotted attitude problems towards other "colleagues" that have made a greater success of their career than I suspect you and many of your like in the cesspit.

Bang on there catflap

Cheers
Derek

 

Del

I dont do all this quote" he said she said business- any discerning pod can read the thread and sum you up in minutes.

I do not need to blow my own trumpet- I dont really care if you think I am a lazy degenerate who is to blame for the woes of the profession- it is enough to know that the people who count do not see me as such.

It is a little bizarre, dont you think, that you never contribute to clinical issue threds but get on your soap box for anything to do with character assasination and pseudo podiatrc politics?

I have your measure Del, lucky for Bel that we will never kiss and make up- I would rather chew an onychgryphotic toe nail.

All the best Del, in everything you do and those things you cant do and rely on others for. wink wink

Cornmerchant

 

John - I have taken this quote and transferred it to the relevant thread with my response.

CM

Probably ...for the honest guy I am with an opinion

I have not addressed you in that terminology ??

BUT

I don't believe I saw you at Craigs Boot camp or the Diabetic foot conference and and and .... If you look you are wrong again I do contribute to many clinical threads .

If you have that fetish ,should you not report yourself to the HPC ?? With a mindset like that ..you are ..SPOOKY

Ahh now you are forgetting where you are and bringing the cesspit to the Arena, innuendo and gutless drivel are the hallmark of that site along with the ranting of the fanatically obsessed .

There is not much left to salvage now of this profession, you and yours do your best to finish it off

Come on then oh gutless one wheres your apology????

Cant back up your statement and haven't the balls to admit it

Sums you up perfectly:wacko:

Bye Toss back to the cesspit with catflap for you

Cheers

Del

Lets just agree to disagree, I would not like to be responsible for you having a heart attack- do calm down dear chap.

I confess that you do indeed say what you think, its just a pity you dont engage the brain first.

Double standards- how about claiming that you do all pod treatments including nail surgery and needling. Where do you actually state that you are not able to administer LA? That you pay someone to do this? Not dishonest of course, just slightly stretching the facts. I do not have to do that.

This thread will be closed shortly no doubt.

CM

 

I had orthopaedic surgery recently. I wasn't too fussed that it wasn't the surgeon who administered the anaesthetic in person, but I was quite happy that the surgeon performed the treatment as oppose to the anaesthetist.

I think you may have strayed from the OP though. BTW, my cock is bigger than both of yours and pierced. Have a nice day.

 

With respect Simon
Del is not an orthopoedic surgeon, everyone knows they dont do their own anaesthetics.

Now that we all know the size of your member, the thread will be closed- as no doubt was your intention.

CM

 

CM

If I have a heart attack it will not be the drivel you talk as the causative factor...

Posts from you and your like minded bigots are not that important to me or able to induce the emotions you think you do...just contempt, no stress in that

Then that is for you and yours to disagree with which is your right.
That's what makes a discussion

YET AGAIN you make assumptions you cannot back up !!

You have no knowledge of my business arrangements only your fantasy ,and yet feel it is acceptable to try and discredit me on a public forum

Bring the evidence of your claim on here show me with hard evidence :boxing:

OR

As it says... put up or shut up, Toss
