While my opinion on the following topic can be deduced from some of my older posts, there's another key figure we need to add. While some may argue this is a sub-species of The Troll, I argue from an evolutionary biology standpoint, that, the following is a an entirely different branch on the tree of life:
MD vs. DO Thread Starter: Usually a goon that has an opinion on this subject. Likely will cite examples just to irritate you:
1. When someone claims MD > DO, this is what MD vs. DO Thread Starter will lead with:
"WAIT how could you say MD is better than DO? Look at ____ DO School Match List, one student matched ACGME Dermatology-Cardiothoracic-Neurological-Pediatrics(At Boston Children's, of course),-plastic surgeon-EM.
2. When someone claims MD < DO, this is what MD vs. DO Thread Starter will lead with:
"Then why do MD schools have higher gpas nd mcat averages"
-or-
"MD schools will help you match into more competitive specialties at more hospitals, like HUP."
The MD vs. DO Thread Starter elicits another commoner on Student Doctor: Have you tried using the search function? There's like a million threads on this topic already. This is the dude that has no filter and isn't afraid to say what everyone is thinking. Not the hero we deserve, but the hero we need.
