I am just wondering how other M.D.s consider D.O. doctors in general. Your honest answers will be appreciated. Thanx!

that's not exactly true...........DO's are very common in many institutions and in private groups. YOu may not even know you are working with or around one.

This reminds me of a song that Frasier and his brother sang on TV:
"Some guys go to Harvard,
Well we think that they are all wussies,
They get all the knowledge,
While we get all the Bum,de,bum,de,bum..."

Come on people, some of the brightest people I know are DOs. Example: U of Chicago grad: 3.96 GPA, 33T MCAT ---> 3rd Year DO student. Another acquaintance of mine scored a top notch residency as a DO & he wouldn't give up his DO for an MD if you paid him. In fact, I kind of wish they taught some of the DO techniques/philosophy in med school. It may benefit a lot of people and any knowledge like that is bound to be useful at some point in your career.
For those of you who believe "MD = genius," I hope you get your inferiority complexes in check. If not, I'm sure the DO stealing your residency spot will do it for you.
