1: do try to use the search feature...many have asked the same question.

2: DOs can do ANYTHING an MD can do. The can even apply to MD residencies. The one and only difference is DOs receive extra training in OMM. Do a google search for osteopathic orthopedic surgeons or plastic surgeons...see if that gets u anywhere

Yes I see now, sorry about the OP wasn't thinking straight there. I guess the harassment was expected here...

Meh, some days, when threads like these show up, people give the benefit of the doubt but when this happens,

it's hard to justify why you would still ask the question. Hopefully this is a lesson learned.
