Well, at least some of us will become physicians.
I will try to remember your sensitivity when I write orders for stool cultures....every 2 hours, NurseArtist.
I am not going to name call you Joshua Hazelton. I messaged you and warn you not to attack me for I am thankful of the question you've answered for me. But I can see how low a DO like you would go to resort to name calling as a tactic and even degrade nurses.
There IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING A NURSE. Instead of degrading the nursing profession Joshua Hazelton, D.O., you should be proud of their help and their contributions in the medical field. When you look down on nurses, that just show how arrogant you are.
I posted earlier that a four year of education will not make you a doctor. It might improve your skills. But If you have a character defect and you act like a scumbag, you can be in school your whole life and you'll still be a d-bag.
IF I AM GOING TO USE THE SAME LOW TACTIC AS YOU 'DOS' HAVE BEEN UTILIZED, I'd state the following:
1. A DO is not a real doctor anyway and OMM is a joke, and I have evidence to substantiate such claims. Also, If I need spinal manipulation, I'd go to a chiropractor instead of these arrogant DOs who claims to be physicians.
2. If you tell people you go to PCOM or LeCOM, it'd sounds like some internet web-site. They will reply like, "what! that's a medical school?" Remember the dotcom bust for the stock market? Well you can expect the COM burst for the osteopathic/second grade medical schools also.
3. Most of you should be studying to improve your skill to treat your future patients instead of dogging people on SDN. You should be greatful that DO schools gave you a chance to be a doctor when your bombed the MCAT and got mediocre grades during your undergraduate education; and you should translate that chance to go to school into positive actions for others instead of dogging people on SDN. There are good DO out there, but it's a shame that there are these people called, "DO" who claim to be doctor. It should be more appropriate to call those "DO" as "Dumb Osteopath." Good luck with answering what is a DO your whole life."
Do you see what kind of results that could be accomplished if I utilize the same d-bag tactics as you future DOs have been utilized? It'll be a turf war where nothing could be accomplished.
