A good read on a study looking at the difference between how D.O.s vs. M.D.s approach patients. Done by a professor of medicine at the Univ of North Carolina, Chapel Hill and published by the American College of Physicians.

I like that the majority of the passage is what DO's AND MD's suggest together.



(at first I thought it was another bashing thread but thankfully it wasn't)

Thanks for the link.

That's a good article.

oceandocDO, you're my hero. Please keep posting threads like these. Not because we want to point out real or perceived differences between MD's and DO's but because to future DO's like myself, articles like those are very interesting and valuable and are a refreshing change of pace from the regular "bashing" threads.

I like how a big part of the article refers to the opinion of a doctor from COMP.😀
