The title of this thread is asking if DOs earn more than MDs, I am asking the question in terms of both populations, US trained MDs vs DOs, a US trained MD is more likely to be in a specialty, and therefore make more money than a DO. That is just the way things are.
Many DOs who are primary care doctors, provide OMT to increase their incomes, so there are cases where DOs can earn more than an MD in the same field of medicine.
A lot of my classmates came to medical school hoping to get into specialty field, but many wind up in primary care.
It seems that some people might be forgetting that questions posed on SDN usually lead to a multidimensional discussion about said question. So it is absolutely appropriate to bring up another side of an argument or pose an additional question which facilitates discussion that may or may not answer the OP's exact inquiry.
I couldn't imagine having to read the same answers to the posed question a hundred times without some variety to the discussion. These forums tend to be repetitive as is, so let's welcome other viewpoints and approaches to answering a question or spurring new ones.
