Hahahahaha I bet no one in their sane mind any longer believes that an MD from a piss poor Caribbean third world country is(or ever was) better than a DO. With the merger and the massive expansion(25% of all current medical students are becoming DO’s) going to the carribean is going to put you in a massive pile of excrement! Can’t believe there are people who don’t do thier basic homework and think that a foreign MD is better than a DO just because of the degree hahah, your gonna be in a world of hurt. Also to anyone arguing that there are “programs” that take imgs over DO’s doesn’t realize that those are the img sweatshops that no American MD or DO would ever want to train in, in reality a mid tier program in any specialty will always prefer a DO over an IMG.. also there were more DO’s who entered surgery this year then did both img’s And fmg’s combined despite there being far more Img’s and fmg’s in match, ohh and that not even counting those DO’s who matched in the 2019 AOA match, it’s not even close boys

Actually the troll started a new thread and I guess someone moved it to this old thread...frankly I was hoping no one would respond to it and it would just die off...which is still not a bad idea.

On the bright side, that image will never not make me smile.

Can we lock this thread before any more brain dead posters try to administer CPR to this corpse of a thread?

Oh and happy halloween I guess

Am I the only one who immediately went to the OP's page to see if they ever matched only to be profoundly disappointed they stopped posting in Sept 2013? If it's going to get necrobumped I at least want some resolution

And if you haven’t posted 8 days later, it would have died a natural death...follow your own advice!
