High Risk Profession

OMG!! Here's a thought...what if Rothbart IS Geier...bored now from suspension, he has become a DPM, or just like posting random things on poor unsuspecting forum members who get sucked into the drama? ;O Not a conspiracy theory at all...

 

Dear Perthpod,

When you state "like claiming insoles affect the jaw, obviously you did not read my paper, Vertical Facial Dimensions Linked to Abnormal Foot Motion, which was published (after passing rigorous peer review) in the Journal American Pod Med Association (2008). In that paper I discussed how motion in the foot affects the cranial bones. Proprioceptive insoles do affect the jaw, as well as the jaw affect the feet.

I have published more on this subject in the following (online) sites:

Rothbart BA 2006 Cranial Lesions Initiated by Abnormal Foot Motion. Health and Healing Wisdom (Price-Pottinger Nutrition Foundation Journal) Vol 30(1):6-7.

Rothbart BA 2004. Postural Distortions. The foot connection. Online Journal of Orthodontics, May 10; 6(1): 1-8

Rothbart BA 2008. Malocclusions Linked to Abnormal Foot Motion. Positive Health Online, Vol 151, October.

But all this is taking us off the topic in this thread. Namely, I started this thread with what happened to Dr Geier being denied due process. This is what I wanted to discuss, this was the intent of this thread. But almost nothing has been discussed about this. Why not? Don't you consider this an important issue. Even serial killers in the US are provided with due process. Why not physicians? Do we have less rights then serial killers?

how may I use the jaw research in practice?

 

Or of course she might have read it and thought it was a complete Crock. Think of all the possibilities.

Seeing as how like all your publications it is simply your opinion, with no whiff of any test data to support them. That was the conclusion I reached.

We've talked lots about the Griers. They did have due, and transparent, process. Perthpod even published it. So what's your point Brian?

Nope. Brian lost his license for a completely different reason.

 

Thank you for your erudite comments.

Professor Rothbart

PS Love your website Robertisaccs, especially the part of using hypnosis to reduce the pain when you give injections.

 

This thread reminds me of a U.S. pod who lost his license for performing pelvics on female patients. Yes, pelvics! The salt on the wound was a pod local to me who actually defended his practices as an expert witness in court. Someone check the circus; the clowns have escaped! :dizzy:

You're a peculiar and colorful guy Brian. You seem to have made a career out of stepping over the professional line of podiatric scope of practice, not to mention common sense. You published a paper in JAPMA (after passing rigorous peer review...bullpuckey) did you? That doesn't make you correct in your scientific (sic) method, nor is it relevant and it sure as Hell doesn't make you interesting.

Were you afforded "due process" when they stripped you of your license? Oh, that's right you fled the country and the decision was handed down in absentia, correct? No wonder you're having this conspiracy theory moment regarding license revocation.

Hall of Shame thread?

 

Glad you approve Brian. The use of hypnosis in control of pain and anxiety in uncomfortable medical procedures is of course rather well supported in evidence, including in randomised controlled trials. Be happy to point you at a few if you're interested. Drop me an email. Its Robertisaacs by the by, not Robertisaccs, but don't worry. Its a hard word.

On the topic of titles, I can't seem to see at which university you hold a chair, or headship of a department, from any of your websites. Out of interest, which university does your "professor" title come from? Or is it self bestowed, like your "father of Chronic pain elimination" title. Informed minds want to know.

But then we both digress in our overwhelming outpouring of affection and respect for each other. Perthpods posting of the whole process does seem to somewhat give lie to your claim that the griers' did not receive due process, or that it was in secret. Anything to say on the topic of the thread you started?

Let me ask a very clear question, Given that the PUBLIC hearing found that the fellow used Lupron, "A drug used to chemically castrate sex offenders", to surpress testosterone and delay puberty even when the patients did NOT have early puberty and did NOT have abnormal levels of testosterone, and that he carried out this potentially dangerous intervention OVER THE PHONE...

Are you seriously contending that it was WRONG that he lose his license?

 

Growing up we had a local family practitioner who used hypnosis instead of locals to stitch kids up. He was our favorite physician and when we remember and ruminate about him, it is with respect and reverence. I believe that he relocated to Mexico to serve the poor, imagine that?

The turd thickens..watch your step!

 

Hint: in much of central Europe the term professor = lecturer

 

Ah. Self bestowed then. I wondered if it was a legal title but I can't find any good citations for that.

So you run a few private courses, which makes you a lecturer, which makes you a professor! Very nice!

 

Dear Robert,

It is always a great pleasure to hear from you.

I believe you are mistaken. The Medical Board in Maryland held a secret meaning. Again, note the word secret (I hope I spelled that word correctly, it is a difficult one to spell, or is it Robertissacs that is the difficult word to spell, I am getting confused here). Well, leaving that point aside, during that secret meaning, in which the physician in question was denied representation, his license was suspended. That is the issue of my thread.

Now, apparently this is how you feel (those that have responded):

If you don't think like me, then suspending due process and revoking a license is appropriate behavior. Correct me, if I got it wrong.

Now, if I got it right, there is nothing more to say other than I, for one, totally disagree with you.

Or, by the way, the title Professor comes from the fact that I earned a PhD (my dissertation was on the Free Radical Shunt) and then taught at Podiatry School in Rome for several years (while at the same time holding a position in research at the Instituto Superiore di Sanita, Dept of BioEngineering). I also taught at the University of Washington, School of Medicine for several years. If you go to the Ann Arbor Archives you can download my dissertation. Or, if you have trouble finding it, go to my website. You will find a link to that paper on About Professor Rothbart.

Thank you for your inquiry and the opportunity to talk about my training. By the way, where did you earn your podiatry degree? The informed want to know.

with regards,
Professor Rothbart

 

More bull****. You do not get the title of "Professor" in any country for doing a PhD. You are making that up and giving yourself that title when you have no right to it. That makes you a fraud.

See this wikipedia article on the title:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professor

 

No, DaVinci, that makes you a fool to say such a blatant prevarication.

Professor Rothbart

 

Dear David,

It is always a pleasure to hear from you. And thank you for your inquiry.

Unfortunately, I was denied the opportunity to attend my hearing. At that time I was in Cuernavaca Mexico involved in researched with the Aztec Indians. My findings were published some years later in Biomechanics. You can access that paper by going to: Rothbart BA 2005. Tactile therapy shifts patients towards equilibrium. Biomechanics. Vol XII, No 10:61-68.

with warm regards,
Professor Rothbart

 

So if you did not bestow the professor title on yourself, which University bestowed it on you?

 

Dear DaVinci,

I am sorry, but your question makes no sense. A University does not bestow the title of Professor on anyone. That title is given to someone who holds a PhD degree and then teaches at the University level or higher (in my case at the School of Medicine, University of Washington and the School of Podiatry in Rome) where he/she is addressed as Professor ____________

with regards,
Professor Rothbart

 

I have added this topic to my alerts and will periodically add to it.

This one just came through as the first alert:
