My boss, a psychiatrist, is a D.O.
Campbell University, within an hour of me in Buies Creek, NC, will accept students for its first class of osteopathic physicians in 2013.

When I was a surgical tech in Indianapolis in the 70's, we had an osteopathic hospital open on the west side (Westview?), and the head RN of the operating room asked the head nurse of our O.R. to help train her staff by sending over some experienced RNs for a while. When the president of the medical staff of the hospital, a surgeon I frequently worked with, heard about it, he exploded, saying, "You can tell any nurse who goes over to that bone-cracker [sic] hospital, that they can plan to stay there!"

I was shocked a couple of years later, when arriving at Kettering Medical Center (Ohio), I found both MDs and DOs on the staff of the Emergency Department. I thought the animosity was the norm.
I had a clinical rotation at Grandview (osteopathic) Hospital in Dayton and one of the sharpest docs I ever encountered was an internist D.O.

I was surprised you mentioned DO, most people don't know what they are. Until recently being a DO was talked down by MD's which I think is funny because we take the same classes plus the osteo stuff. Some of the best doctors I know are DO's

I prefer a DO over an MD....I have found they are more interested in getting you healed and preventing further problems...... MDs seem to only want to treat the problem
