Is your physician an MD or a DO?

[LostinVA]

We have a DO.

Since I see more hematological specialists I have yet to encounter a DO

[LostinVA]

6. He's not a real Doctor, but he plays one on TV.

If I fail to pay my cable bill my healthcare gets canceled.

8. Yes.

[Gormy Cuss]

9. There are many DOs in southern Maine (even a college for them)

When I was growing up the DOs all accepted Medicaid and thus were the docs of choice in my 'hood. We went to an MD when I was little and only osteopaths later on.

I'd have to work very hard to find a DO around here in the SF bay area.

[LostinVA]

10. THis is a very suburban area, but there are alot here

I think because there are quite a few O schools in the NJ/NYC area and New England.

I read an article recently about how many traditional MD programs are using a good chunk of the DO approach now (ie whole body-mind approach).

23. Love my DO. He fixed my back in two seconds.

An MD would have given me drugs instead.

Yay DO!

12. He's a shoe salesman. I thought they all went to medical school.

[LostinVA]

14. DOs and MDs go to totally different schools

[Midlodemocrat]

15. Which one do the shoe salesmen attend?

God, I'm confused. I'm all warred out.

[LostinVA]

17. Thom McAn U

[Left Is Write]

13. My primary care doctor is a DO.

[LostinVA]

16. Like us! I was wondering who the other "DO" was

[SoxFan]

18. She's a DO

We have quite a few around here, as the University of New England sends many of its graduates to Concord Hospital for their residency.

[sammythecat]

19. I've had 2 DR's over the past 30 years

both DO's.

Never made a choice, I just take the first available.

Witch Doctor. Makes a mean voodoo doll too. :rofl:

[hippywife]

21. I watched my mother's mother

and her sisters get totally awful care at the hands of DO's and so I've never trusted them. I'll only see and MD.

[LostinVA]

25. They have the same MEDICAL education

[mainegreen]

22. DO

[WinkyDink]

24. Now an M.D. But my entire childhood until college = the most wonderful man who was a D.O.

Dr. Musick. Made house-calls. Had "Highlights" in his waiting room. Always gave lollipops. Really believed in penicillin! LOL!

[LostinVA]

26. The eye doctor I had as a kid had Highlights

"Goofus and Gallant"!
