00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:03,120
Hello and welcome to Podiatry 
Practice Mastery. 

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,600
My name is Don Pelto, helping 
you to get your practice to the 

3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,240
$1,000,000 mark and beyond in 
your personal production. 

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:13,320
So that ends up being about 
$80,000 in production per month.

5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,440
So I can kind of give you my 
tips today. 

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,680
I want to start out talking a 
little bit about ChatGPT. 

7
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,640
This is something that's quite 
popular these days. 

8
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:23,880
Many people are using it in 
their practice. 

9
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,600
I've recently been kind of 
discussing with some people. 

10
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:32,800
They're saying, oh, you have to 
use ChatGPT or AI for notes. 

11
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,560
I still use old fashioned 
scribes. 

12
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,040
I like my scribe. 
He becomes a friend. 

13
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,400
We're about the same age and I 
pretty much tell him we're going

14
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:46,200
to retire about the same time. 
And but there are some uses for 

15
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,400
for ChatGPT. 
I want to share a couple of the 

16
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:55,720
my favorite uses number #1 is I 
had to redo my, I did my web 

17
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,640
page. 
I added this urgent care web web

18
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,360
page. 
Now I always like to, whenever I

19
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,160
change something, I like to not 
just, well, I guess one of the 

20
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,720
problems I made in the past, I 
used to kind of skim the surface

21
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,440
and I used to, OK, I made the 
urgent care page and I didn't do

22
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,360
anything else with it. 
Now what I try to do is I think 

23
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:18,200
of, OK, I made the urgent care 
page, but what else can I do 

24
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,240
that would accommodate this 
urgent care page? 

25
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,760
What other things can I do 
that'll even help it grow even 

26
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,920
more, help get more patients? 
And so thus far, I, we made the 

27
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,000
page, actually had a virtual 
assistant make the page. 

28
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,320
I have a something through our 
medical record, which is Mod Med

29
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,360
and Clara where they can make an
appointment just for urgent care

30
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,520
slots. 
So urgent care is ambiguous of 

31
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,360
newer established patients 
because they're usually pretty 

32
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,320
simple patients and we want to 
get them in as soon as possible.

33
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,440
So I'm pretty much trying to 
guarantee 2024 to 48 hour 

34
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,280
appointments. 
And that's mostly because we 

35
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,280
have a new 4th doctor that has 
some opening. 

36
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,000
So that may change a little bit 
the way I'm marketing it. 

37
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,760
But right now that's what we're 
doing. 

38
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:07,440
And so, but with ChatGPT, I 
wanted to add something to our 

39
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,400
Google business. 
So Google My Business, we have 

40
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,360
these locations and I wanted to 
change a little bit of the 

41
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,480
description. 
So I had ChatGPT help me to make

42
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,640
one that would kind of publicize
and help with keywords for our 

43
00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:22,760
urgent care. 
So I just asked it and it made 

44
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,720
it so it was pretty easy to do. 
And I took it and I copied and 

45
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,720
pasted into each of our Google 
My Business profiles. 

46
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,240
These are our Google business 
profiles. 

47
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,760
Now we have, we have 10 of them 
and you might think, wow, 10s a 

48
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,680
lot. 
It is a lot. 

49
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,960
They're all under my like I have
like managerial access to them. 

50
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,680
So we have one for each office 
and then for each of the four 

51
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,760
doctors, there's 4, they have 
one, one in each location. 

52
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,000
So they have we have 4IN 
Worcester, 4IN Westborough, one 

53
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,240
for each doctor, the four 
doctors and then a main 

54
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,000
Westborough and a main 
Worcester. 

55
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,200
And what when we send out 
reviews, we send it specifically

56
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,720
to where that doctor is. 
So if I'm in Worcester one day 

57
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,400
it'll send ask for reviews from 
that one. 

58
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,560
If I'm in Westborough, it'll ask
for reviews to the other one. 

59
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,600
That is part of the way we kind 
of get more traction within 

60
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,080
Google that the Google business 
type of thing and on the maps. 

61
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,440
And then I, so I did that and 
then I also added into each one 

62
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:23,000
of those pages a you can add 
like the main category would be 

63
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,160
the podiatrist, the sub there, I
think they're called accessory 

64
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,640
categories or subcategories. 
Surgeon is 1. 

65
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,040
I added sports medicine clinic 
and then I added an urgent care 

66
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,000
clinic. 
So I added that in there and 

67
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,800
then the keyword search 
description. 

68
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,400
So I think I'm hoping that is 
going to increase even more the 

69
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,520
people coming in for urgent care
appointments in the office. 

70
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,960
And I, and I think I was, as I 
was thinking about this, I was 

71
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:55,240
reading recently about like it's
called the unique selling 

72
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,200
proposition. 
And I think this whole like 

73
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,960
quickness or getting people in 
for urgent care, I think that's 

74
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,680
a pretty nice unique selling 
proposition because patients 

75
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,560
want to get in, they want to get
things better faster. 

76
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,680
And I'm even finding that with, 
with Shockwave, for example, if,

77
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:13,320
if patients, they're given the 
option to come in 6 * / 6 weeks 

78
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,680
or they can come in six times 
within three weeks, doing it 

79
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,880
every like 3 days or 72 hours. 
I'm finding that some patients 

80
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,240
are choosing that. 
I think they just want to get 

81
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,880
the treatments done faster. 
So they can get, either get it 

82
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,080
done with or they can kind of 
get better faster. 

83
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,760
I don't know if it gets them 
better actually a little bit, it

84
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,680
might be a little bit faster, 
but I don't think much. 

85
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,280
But I, I think they just, people
just want to get things done. 

86
00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:35,240
So I think speed of service I 
think is something that we have 

87
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:36,160
to offer. 
So that's one way I've been 

88
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,440
using ChatGPT. 
Another way that I've been using

89
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:45,160
ChatGPT is then now I'm taking, 
if you notice each of these 

90
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,120
podcasts, I used to just call 
each of the podcasts $1,000,000 

91
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,680
minute and in the description I 
just put $1,000,000 minute. 

92
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,560
And well, that didn't work too 
well for SEO because frankly, I 

93
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,200
have very few people listening 
to this. 

94
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,160
I'm trying to figure out how to 
get more listeners. 

95
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,840
So if you listen to this and you
like, excuse me, if you like 

96
00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:06,800
this, please put a review on it.
And wherever you're listening to

97
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,200
it, if it's Apple, put a review.
I have a few reviews, but I need

98
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:10,880
more. 
And then more importantly, like 

99
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,480
share this with others because I
feel like a lot of people don't 

100
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,600
know about this podcast. 
And so I'm trying. 

101
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,000
What I do now is I take the 
transcript. 

102
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:23,600
So the kind of the workflow is I
do this with like a handheld mic

103
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,440
in my car before work. 
I, I do it on my phone in the 

104
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,240
recording section. 
So I just take the transcript 

105
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,040
and I paste in the ChatGPT and 
it gives me like 3 little posts 

106
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,880
for LinkedIn and it gives me a 
description and a title 

107
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,320
suggestion for the actual 
podcast. 

108
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,960
And it can do more too. 
I just, I don't personally want 

109
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,280
to do that. 
Eventually I might do that with 

110
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:47,240
my, my virtual assistant, such 
as like doing a, A blog post on 

111
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,320
each one or like a, you know, a 
separate web page for each of 

112
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,680
the ones with the transcript and
things like that. 

113
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,040
So I'm not specifically doing 
that yet, but that would be 

114
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,480
something that would help 
increase this podcast. 

115
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,520
So that's another way that I'm 
using ChatGPT. 

116
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,680
I'm not usually using it a ton 
in the clinic yet, but I'm using

117
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,040
it for like AdWords. 
So I had to make some Google or 

118
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,560
actually Facebook ads for the 
urgent care. 

119
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,720
And so I put it in there. 
Can you give me some good 

120
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:21,320
Facebook ads, ad copy and 
suggestions for like pictures, 

121
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:22,000
right? 
What could I use? 

122
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,560
And so it didn't. 
It did make some it has an 

123
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,240
integration with Canva. 
I didn't think it was that 

124
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,280
great, but it had it has kind of
good ideas. 

125
00:06:28,280 --> 00:06:31,640
So those are anyway, those are 
some ideas about using AI and 

126
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:36,120
ChatGPT in the practice. 
So let me go now into the day. 

127
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,160
This is a recording from a 
Monday 1st patient, 12 year old 

128
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,120
for flat feet. 
He was here for an orthotic 

129
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,280
follow up. 
He had a little bit of pain on 

130
00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:49,680
the medial aspect and so I 
heated it up with a heat gun and

131
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,240
I dropped it down and he was 
fine. 

132
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:52,440
I'm going to see him back in one
year. 

133
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,480
Now this type of thing, it's 
very simple for us, but this is 

134
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,920
something that I think that 
patients like to see. 

135
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,160
So I made this into a YouTube 
short. 

136
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,760
I'm starting to kind of tell you
which ones I make into YouTube 

137
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,640
Shorts. 
So you get an idea of kind of 

138
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,120
what my, my, my thought is. 
So I made it into a YouTube 

139
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,560
short because I think they like 
to see patients, like to see 

140
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,800
behind the scenes, something 
that's pretty obvious to us, but

141
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,240
it's something that's kind of 
new to them. 

142
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:23,680
Next patient was a 35 year old 
that had a poorokeratoma on the 

143
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,160
foot, so like an IPK. 
And I always say that kind of 

144
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,520
that my explanation is, you 
know, this possibly could be a 

145
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,080
wart because it could be most 
likely it's like a big deep 

146
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,000
callus and I'm going to treat it
kind of as a wart. 

147
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,360
So that way I can get the lesion
destruction and office visit. 

148
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,640
And she also had some issues 
with her kids, some nail issues.

149
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,560
So I, what I said is I said, 
would you please just send me a 

150
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,400
picture? 
So I offered you this is 

151
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,800
something I just kind of do to 
patients. 

152
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,160
If it, if they have a just a 
quick question, they can text it

153
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,640
to me via the office texting 
message. 

154
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,400
Next patient was a 55 year old 
female shoe status post left 

155
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:04,240
bunionectomy and she developed 
pretty much arthritis in the 

156
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,520
first time PJ and I think it was
because I tried to shift and 

157
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,320
Austin a little bit big because 
I do not do Lapidus. 

158
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,160
I just don't that's just 
something I don't I don't feel 

159
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:14,520
comfortable. 
I didn't really get as much 

160
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,040
training in it. 
And so I'm going to send this 

161
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,240
patient over to my colleague for
kind of a second opinion. 

162
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,920
I'm afraid that she might need a
fusion, but potentially he could

163
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,640
do something else for that for 
that patient. 

164
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,160
Next patient was 75 year old 
man. 

165
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:35,799
He had bilateral plantar 
fasciitis and he had equinus 

166
00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:38,640
bilaterally. 
So I started out doing once 

167
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,120
again, my dynamic demonstration.
I take this ore ball, put it on 

168
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,159
the back of their leg, roll it 
around, and then all of a sudden

169
00:08:43,159 --> 00:08:46,360
his heel pain reduces. 
And I think the heel pain of him

170
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,800
is is mostly due to Aquinas. 
So I'm not going to start with 

171
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,640
with everything. 
I'm going to start out with the 

172
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,760
night splint foam rolling in 
morning stretch, and he's going 

173
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,000
to get bilateral night splints. 
So that was a good thing. 

174
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,880
And then I, I got an X-ray and 
I'm going to get an ultrasound 

175
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,440
next time. 
And so I got meloxicam. 

176
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,240
So that got me to the level 4 
visit and I'm going to see him 

177
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:06,960
back in four weeks. 
If it's not better, then we're 

178
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,640
going to go to the next step, 
which is going to be an 

179
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,880
ultrasound. 
Next patient was a 66 year old 

180
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,080
female status post 
metatarsalgia. 

181
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,600
She had six sessions of 
shockwave. 

182
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,560
She's doing much better. 
And she said, oh, by the way, I 

183
00:09:19,560 --> 00:09:22,600
have these nail issues weren't 
really that bad, but she's 

184
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:23,960
feeling better after the 
shockwave. 

185
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,960
I'm not going to see her back. 
The next was a 5051 year old 

186
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:33,120
female right, Plantar fasciitis 
#5 out of 6 of Shockwave, she's 

187
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,640
already starting to see some 
improvement. 

188
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,880
I tend to find if you do 6 
sessions you you start to feel 

189
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,160
better about the fifth session. 
5th to 6th session. 

190
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,160
It's nice to be present for 
that. 

191
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,400
Next was a 36 year old man. 
He had a right. 

192
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,400
He had a split nail on the 4th 
digit. 

193
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,440
So basically just a split that 
goes down the kind of the 

194
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,160
lateral aspect. 
I talked about trimming it 

195
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,280
short. 
That's the easiest way of 

196
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,040
putting super glue on it and 
then possibly doing a 

197
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,040
matrixectomy if it continues to 
bother him. 

198
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,240
And then he also had a wart on 
the left 4th metatarsal head. 

199
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:08,560
I did canthered on that. 
And I think he got, yeah, he got

200
00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:12,320
Aldera as well. 
And I'm going to see him back in

201
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,360
in two weeks to do it. 
So when I see warts, I give him 

202
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:17,600
the option. 
You can either see me once a 

203
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,520
month, but if you want to get 
better faster I can see you back

204
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,440
every every two weeks. 
And he opted to see me every two

205
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,240
weeks once again. 
I think the patients like these 

206
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,920
things about speed right? 
So like to get better faster. 

207
00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:33,440
Next was a 56 year old man. 
He had to write a sesmoid 

208
00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:38,360
fracture status post 6E pads. 
I did a 7th today at no charge 

209
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,000
because it was the follow up in 
six weeks. 

210
00:10:40,680 --> 00:10:44,040
I looked at his X-ray and I 
ordered him a bone stem. 

211
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,040
He had a gap at that fracture 
site. 

212
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,640
I talked about removing it but 
he still wasn't interested. 

213
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,920
So I'm going to try to get a 
bone stem covered and I'm going 

214
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,440
to see him back in in two 
months. 

215
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,080
Next was a 59 year old female 
status post a second MET 

216
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:58,520
fracture. 
She's doing fine. 

217
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,400
I'm not going to see her back. 
Next was a 59 year old. 

218
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,080
She had a bunion. 
I had a couple of these patients

219
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,520
today that came in for bunions 
and they did not want surgery. 

220
00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:11,120
So when they don't want surgery,
I do, I do a long spiel. 

221
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,000
I take off my shoe, take off my 
sock liner, show them what a 

222
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,400
sock liner should look like with
the space in the front. 

223
00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:18,360
That's the first thing I do. 
So I talk about shoes. 

224
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,840
Second, I talk about orthotics 
to help. 

225
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,800
If there's like first ray 
Elevatus on the X-ray. 

226
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,120
And then third, I talk about 
correct toes. 

227
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,840
That's what I say. 
I, I, I give them my, my 

228
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,000
treatment sheet on, on bunions. 
And actually I have a page on my

229
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,360
website on bunions and I send 
that if they want to learn more.

230
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,520
So I did that a couple of times 
today for some patients that 

231
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,760
didn't want surgery. 
Next was a 20 year old female 

232
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,600
who had an ingrown toenail. 
I did an Ind. 

233
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,440
Next was a 56 year old. 
This is that was the morning, 

234
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,080
this is the afternoon. 
Next was a 56 year old that a 

235
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,120
fourth toad non union that's 
been not healing. 

236
00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:54,040
It's been about over a year. 
Still swollen. 

237
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,640
So I did shockwave #3 out of 6 
with focused only. 

238
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,800
So when it's a non union, I tend
to do focused only. 

239
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,120
Shockwave next was a 18 year old
man. 

240
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,440
He had a granuloma status post 
Ind that was recurrent. 

241
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,640
So I did another Ind, took out a
little bit more nail. 

242
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,880
Next was a 37 year old female 
for a right carry flex #3 so 

243
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,840
this one had fallen off. 
Now carry flex, I probably 

244
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,480
should stop doing it, but 
patients really like it. 

245
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,760
So I'm trying to get more my 
nail tech to do them more 

246
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,160
because it doesn't really 
reimburse that much. 

247
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,080
We charge 125 for the first nail
and 50 for the other nail. 

248
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,680
So it's much more I guess, 
profitable to do Shockwave, but 

249
00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:32,840
there's not always Shockwave to 
fit in there. 

250
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,520
So I think it's an OK procedure 
and patients like it. 

251
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,320
Next was a 72 year old female 
for a right poro keratoma or 

252
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,720
IPK, got X-ray, did the lesion 
destruction as we talked about 

253
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,320
before. 
Next was a 68 year old man for 

254
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:52,640
PTTD with tendonitis on the 
right #5 out of 6 for shockwave 

255
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,240
and he is already starting to 
feel better. 

256
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:59,120
Next was a 38 year old female 
bilateral E pad for the heel #2 

257
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,400
out of 6 starting to feel a 
little bit better. 

258
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,240
This is actually my my kids 
Taekwondo instructor who had a 

259
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,280
Achilles rupture. 
Next is Q tenza #3 for a 

260
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:16,320
gentleman that was 77. 
He has a little bit less 

261
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,560
shooting pain and he was 
wondering if he should stop. 

262
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,520
And So what I'm saying currently
for Cutenza, I recommend doing 4

263
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,040
sessions and if they're seeing 
improvement, they can continue. 

264
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,320
But if they're unsure, they can 
stop. 

265
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,640
And then if the pain comes back 
or the symptoms come back, they 

266
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,640
can come back. 
But the way I understand Cutenza

267
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,640
is it's like Chili Peppers and 
it kind of burns and 

268
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,280
hyperstimulates the nerves. 
So the nerves will come back 

269
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,400
after about 3 months. 
But he wasn't wanting to 

270
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,640
continue forever. 
And also this guy, he actually 

271
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,800
came from a local podiatrist 
that was doing the nail care and

272
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,240
came from me for Q Tenza 
probably, I don't know, from an 

273
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,640
AD he saw. 
I started the Q 10's and I also 

274
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,600
reached out to this other doctor
and I said, hey, you know, you 

275
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,520
guys do contended you want to 
take this over for I think it'd 

276
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,840
be better for you because you're
doing the nail care there as 

277
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,600
well. 
I don't do a ton of Qutenza, but

278
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,200
I know some people do and it's a
it's pretty, it's reimbursed 

279
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,640
pretty decently for your time 
for applying it. 

280
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,320
Next was a bunion with a 
tailor's bunion. 

281
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,520
I had that shoe conversation 
that I talked about before. 

282
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,720
Next was another bunion 
discussion, talked about the 

283
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,520
shoes again. 
Both of those got X-rays. 

284
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:26,640
Next was a 57 year old female 
for #4 out of 6 for Achilles 

285
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:31,080
tendonitis. 
Next was a A5 year old little 

286
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,720
boy with a right heeled wart. 
And we talked about Katherine 

287
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,560
and we gave Aldera and they got 
the office visit from that. 

288
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,400
And the last was a 55 year old 
for a right Achilles. 

289
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,800
There they after the My Pelto 
special, which is the night 

290
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,560
splint foam rolling in morning 
stretch and the other things 

291
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,000
about 50% better. 
So I think it's mostly due to 

292
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,120
the Aquinas or the tightness. 
And so I'm going to see her back

293
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,800
in eight weeks. 
And if it's not better, we'll do

294
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,680
the ultrasound. 
And then I talked to her about 

295
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,760
either physical therapy or 
shockwave. 

296
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,880
So that is the day. 
Once again, hope you guys 

297
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,440
enjoyed this. 
I'm putting together a 

298
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:04,800
challenge. 
If you want to learn more about 

299
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,560
it, you go to put out your 
practice mastery.com challenge. 

300
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,160
It's a kind of helping you to 
challenge to get you to the 

301
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,920
$80,000 mark per month in 
production. 

302
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,080
I know a lot of you may be 
there, but a lot aren't. 

303
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,960
And if you're in the 5060 realm 
that this would be a perfect 

304
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,760
thing for you. 
I think you can add a good 10 to
