Is MD better than DO?

[sizillyd]

Why is it harder to get into MD schools than it is for DO schools? I've heard them be called "separate but equal" programs. What's the deal with this?

Am I missing something? Why is this funny? It is a legitimate question. Bury me with my ignorance, but explain my folly to me please.

because they usually lead to flame wars from both sides. So they are usually closed.

MD and DO debates exist all amongst these threads. Its nothing new.

People don't want to be dragged into those debates cuz they turn ugly.

I think the better question to have been asked here was "What are the differences b/w DO and MD?"

lol

Yes MD is better and I'm better than you also.

 

[engineeredout]

Without DO you just have ctor. If you wanna be a Ctor, which is basically a programmer*, then go ahead and get the MD.

There is NO difference!! My primary care doctor is a DO, and he's the best out of the five I had in the last 7 years (all others where MD's). I'm also kind of dating this doctor I met at the hospital where I'm volunteering, he's a DO, and he said it did not affect him whatsoever (I know he makes great money, if that's what you care about). The nurse who supervises me says she can't tell the difference between the two unless someone specifically tells her who earned what degree!!!

"I only go to M.D.s. In my mind, the MD is more qualified and has exhibited the extra effort to earn my patronage."

the link above is the best answer to the OPs question.


It seems that this thread never really had a chance, I would like to ask that in the future you wait for the flame war to start before jumping in and derailing the thread with comments about how the thread is going to be locked.

That said, you've done enough of a job side tracking this thread without an actual flame-war that I'm going to go ahead and close... good job, guys.
