kinda suprised me
I have never heard an MD state that they were entirely jealous. However, I have heard many MDs that respect DOs as equal peers, respect their knowledge base, and believe that OMT may give them an extra set of tools. This whole bias against DOs mainly only exists in the pre-medical realm of those that have yet to experience real medicine or real life in some cases.
