Lol, aren't you one of the ones who was vehemently opposed to the idea of more Nurse practitioners?

Who gives yalls lectures on ENT and urology and neurosurgery and orthopedics and ophthalmology since its exceedingly rare to finds DOs in those fields

Probably MDs...? You do realize MDs lecture to other fields too right?

So because it's rare to have specialists we are ALL dumb and not physicians
Your arrogance sir is astounding

Our neurology was taught by a neurologist
Our opthamologist from a former LSU New Orleans prof
My ortho surgeon I worked with asked me how to do muscle energy

That's crazy. We didn't have that at my school

At least u agree it's not the same field

You're correcting my phone

Glad you're riled up about this. Probably the first time you've cared about something or someone in a while

What are you talking about?

So what arguements do you have left? They have all been debunked...

If a DO school helps improve access to PCPs in rural Louisiana then it will be improving medicine in La.

I'm not sure why you're arguing so vehemently against DO's. Isn't medicine supposed to be a field where everyone comes together, learns together and teaches each other for the betterment of the patient? So DO is a little different and in some cases a little more lax in their admission standards. Many believe that they are at a disadvantage when it comes to obtaining residency, but it's not like they aren't getting a residency somewhere, in some field, whether "competitive" or not. As long as they're accredited and the students are passing their boards, it shouldn't matter whether DO or MD.
