Most Ontario Chiropodists are unaware that if a Chiropodist has 4 years Chiropody School in Ontario due to the HARP Act that they are allowed to order, own and operate an X-ray machine. There are many Chiropodists who were trained in Europe, Australia, etc who have 4 years Chiropody School and are therefore qualified as per the terms of the HARP Act. I myself graduated from Michener and went on to receive an addition 1 year at Sunderland University in Durham, U.K., where I obtained my B.Sc., Podiatric Medicine as did may of my Colleagues and I therefore qualify to install an X-Ray machine and I am currently awaiting approval from MOHLTC, X-Ray Services.

As you may well imagine, this does not sit well with the Ontario Podiatrists who have been working in conjunction with the CoCoO to try to block this from happening. Great Colleagues we have in Ontario.
After receiving 8 complaints against my husband's foot clinic from the OPMA for such infractions as spelling mistakes and grammar mistakes, having the words podiatry and podiatrist on his website, my husband has set up a website under www.ontariopodiatrist.info to shield the 4 Chiropodists who now work at his clinic from further complaints.
We even had one so called respected Podiatrist place a complaint which was a complete bare-faced lie in order to try to bring down a so-called colleague. Thank god we were forewarned about this individual and my husband recorded his conversation with him and the College withdrew the complaint. What we can't understand is that this individual continues to sit on College committees even after he violated the College.
Thought that i would vent and let the profession know how things work in Ontario. Currently there are 22 complains ongoing at the CoCoO, the majority placed by Podiatrists against Chiropodists.
My husband was called 3 weeks ago by an investigator from the College of Physicians and Surgeons. Apparently he was stating on his website that he was a Doctor and stating that he was a consultant to the clinic, which he is. After a brief conversation the investigator sail he wouldn't even bother writing it up as it was frivolous. Off the record he told my husband that the OPMA places dozens of complaints to the College of Physicians and Surgeons against Ontario Chiropodists. Another way to hide under the cloak of secrecy. FYI, all the complaints by Ramsden and the OPMA were all withdrawn, but that is another story. Read my husbands website which he has just started to get going.
