Pensar en positivo

He estado leyendo varios foros, me gusta mucho leer sobre la experiencia de otros podologos.
Este mes la revista de la sociedad, Podiatry Now estaba dedicada a las practicas privadas, con relatos personales de los pros y contras en el camino. Llevo un tiempo leyendo lo que la gente escribe en los foros, ayer estuve leyendo al inquisidor podologico, hoy he estado leyendo a un estudiante finalizando la residencia en Estados Unidos en podiatry arena. La verdad que es bastante deprimente la vision de algunas personas de la situacion de la podologia. Afortunadamente en la espiral de negatividad he encontrado esta cita del Dr Kevin Kirby. Que maravilla leerla, y mas viniendo de un Podologo de su estatura. He pensado que la voy a poner en mi blog para poder tenerla a mano cuando la necesite, en los momentos esos en los que las dudas nos acosan. Pongo tambien la direccion de todo el thread para el que la quiera leer.

"HappyBigFoot:
You do not seem very happy so why the name??? It would be nice to have a name behind your complaints about my profession unless you desire to remain anonymous for some reason.

Podiatry will live and thrive much longer than you will live. Why? Because the population continues to increase in age, the mass of the bodies continue to increase (especially here in the States), and since gravitational acceleration of Earth remains constant, more force will exist between the plantar foot and ground with each step (F=ma).
In the end, increasing age and weight will lead to more injuries, and, therefore, more potential patients looking for positive-minded, intelligent health professionals that enjoy helping people improve their lives with state-of-the-art footcare.

There is no conspiracy against you or your family, even though this currently may seem like the case. All of us who have successful podiatry practices have had to deal with personal setbacks and hardships to get to the point where we are finally comfortable. I suggest you start talking to podiatrists that have successful practices and try to learn why they are so successful since, I can tell by the tone of your postings, you definitely need some positive role models at this point in your career. I think that you should stop wasting your energy trying to fight the residency council where you will get little satisfaction for a lot of hard work. Better to fly with the eagles, they say.

And by the way, if I were to believe your words, I suppose that I am the only podiatrist in the whole United States that has become busier and busier in their practice every year?!! Like I said, you need to start hanging with a different crowd since all the podiatrists I speak with (I don't waste my energy associating with negative-minded podiatrists who only are happy when they are complaining) are getting busier every year and love their profession. Maybe this website http://www.apma.org/s_apma/doc.asp?CID=11&DID=18788 will help you start getting that dark cloud from hovering around your head so that you can focus on the positive aspects of the profession that you have worked so hard to excel in. Just some friendly advice. :)

Sincerely,Kevin"
