DO's aren't doing too bad matching are they?

Once these "medical doctor" impostors have been properly disposed of and relegated back to their chiropractic roots; the lack of public awareness within the general public will cause an even further decline of the profession. People will wonder why they would ever get their back adjusted by an optometrist when they could use an actual chiropractor. In other words, i believe that a 94' civic is a stretch.

Hhhmmm.....maybe just an old 1990's aluminum frame bike? You know, the kind you buy off of some guy in a back ally that looks like it has been left in the rain for 3 years straight? I'm talking rusted gears and the works. You would easily be able to tell who the DO's in town were....they would be riding with their white coats on to the chiro office everyday peddling that ole Huffy!!!! Hahahaha

Here a quack, hear a crack, every where a quack quack...

Gotta admit, at least patients know what they're getting when they go to a chiropractor.

Search your heart, you know this to be true...

What's a DO? I don't have a bone problem! Are you guys real doctors? Why are you touching me so much?

I aspire to own some sort of late-model Honda when I finish combining my practice fully with the Scientology one down the street.

Good thing I read SDN. I didn't know optometrists can do doctor stuff.

If I get appendicitis, I'm going to Lenscrafters. Waiting at the ED is for suckers.

Dude believe it or not I read on SDN recently that some states are now considering allowing optimetrists to manage "simple" health problems like diabetes so there ya go!

How dare he, right? Not to worry though; It was brought to my attention that HL cut out his own tongue after speaking such blasphemy...

Soul, please enlighten the unintelligible pre-osteo forum of the obviously superior preparation that is provided by the almighty MD institution vs the well documented, sub par training that takes place for those family practice back crackers known as DOs.

What the hell kind of childish attitude is this? To say, however, that DO schools are on equal footing with mid to low tier MD schools (when it comes to residency placement, as the prep is largely the same) just isn't true. You have DO students in this thread saying that they had to apply to double the number of residency programs to get the same interviews as their MD counterparts, and I'm sure these counterparts weren't all coming from top schools.

No one is saying that DO's aren't doctors. They're just as qualified, but the reality is what it is. I know many pre-osteo students like to pull out the "Are we even doctors? LOL" self-deprecating humor to mask the reality, but it just has to be said.

Makes no difference...every post I've contributed to this thread has been sarcastic.

Obviously you were being sarcastic, but I just wasn't sure what the point was.

I'm not sure what language he's speaking, but there's no pill or Osteopathic treatment for that.

BTW, I didnt notice while going thru this thread anyone to the reams of NRMP data that are out on the web.

Calling people out for not looking at the National Roach Management Program is a low blow. We're DOs, only when we fail out of DO school do we have to resort to managing bugs and rodents out of people's homes.
