I stubbled upon this article. It is really long but quite interesting.

Are D.O.s losing their unique identity? (Doctor of Osteopathy)(Cover Story)

Oh God, that stupid article just repeats the same damn stereotypes that we hear over and over again.

1. DOs are supposedly more "connected" to their patients

2. DOs are the only docs who touch their patients during physical exam

3. DOs are somehow more "dedicated" to treating patients


What a bunch of crap. DOs are no better or worse than MDs at bonding with patients or doing a good physical exam.
