During my first year of college, I remember my anatomy & physio teacher, who I knew was a physician, saying that he was "DO", and I just assumed that he was also some sort of chiropractor as well. It always stuck me as odd that he didn't choose to have MD behind his name and instead went with his chiropractic letters. I never gave it a second thought after that.
I just realized after responding to the "how did you find sdn" thread that it wasn't until I found this site did I find about about the whole MD and DO thing. I saw pre- "allopathic" and "osteopathic" and thought, "What the **** is allopathic and osteopathic?" This was about 3 years. I was about 24 then. So I was an adult when I found out.
