Somehow podiatry came up ( I have no background in medicine) and I was wondering why in the world are feet doctors a specialty compared to a general surgeon or someone that might fix a broken arm or hand issues?

Podiatrists don’t go to medical school. They go to podiatry school. Ortho surgeons go to med school and can sub specialize in foot/ankle but a lot do not because podiatrists exist. There is overlap in medicine, which is a good thing overall for science
