use the search button 2 links away from the logout button. Click on advanced search and click "search titles only." As for what is MD, what is DO? go to wikipedia

Also.."naive"....there is a difference between OD and DO. For the difference between MD and DO, look in this forum. For what an OD is, probably want to look in the Optometry forum.

Now I finally have a way of explaining DO to everyone who asks. If you can receive some sort of witty award on SDN, you get my vote.

oh i thought the question would be something like should i even ask a question of that sort on this board knowing that it's meant for student doctors 😉 ?

If it's a guy who does it and he has a piece of food stuck in his beard, it might fall out while he's manipulating you and you can eat it.

So free backrub

and

free food





...I'm just saying.

MD = Medical Doctor or Physician.

OD = Optometrist or Non-Physician.
