And what is an Osteopath?
A graduate of a medical school dedicated to teaching traditional medicine and also what went on to be the roots of chiropractory.

Can they do surgery?
If they attend a residency program that teaches surgical procedures, get the appropriate number of cases, and graduate in good standing from that program and have a hospital or surgery specialty center that allows them operative privileges, yes.

Where is the complaining about that?
No one is complaining about groups that are required the same amount of training and report to the same board because, well, they're held to the same standards.

I guess a dentist isn't a doctor either. How long till the ODs decide it's within their scope to do Botox. I'd imagine if it's within a dentist's scope to give injections around the eye, it should be well within the scope of an optometric surgeon's scope.

A dentist is a dentist.
A lawyer is a lawyer.
A doctor is a doctor.
It's really pretty intuitive.

You're dumb , doc.

Well, call me simple, but I am still confused over this whole 'whose a doctor' thing.
How about this one: Naturopathic Physician? Naturopathic Physician
"... may prescribe drugs and perform minor surgery ..."
Anybody here a Naturopathic Physician? Any preference for surgery over an Optometrist, Naturopathic Physician, or Chiropractor? ( Chiropractic Surgeon)

Dumb in what way?
Posted on 6/2/14 at 10:37 pm to LATigerdoc
Well, for starters you can't reply to the proper post.

Posted on 6/2/14 at 10:42 pm to oilmanNO
Yeah but I mean who starts a thread and then up and leaves it half-way thru?

You can stay here, just spread the wealth to other boards and threads also
Posted on 6/2/14 at 10:44 pm to LATigerdoc
I think you really don't like sports though
Posted on 6/2/14 at 10:44 pm to LATigerdoc
And to leave a bro hanging on something as good as a Naturopathic Physician. That's just wrong.
Posted on 6/2/14 at 10:45 pm to oilmanNO
I'm not too sure about this "spreading the wealth" concept
Posted on 6/2/14 at 10:46 pm to LATigerdoc
There you go editing again like 95% of your posts. D'oh!!!!

Isn't an Optometrist to the eye sort of like what a Podiatrist is to the foot?
Funny you should say that. Podiatrist are trying to become doctors of the lower extremity. They have been creeping up the leg for sometime. First it was the knee, now they want the hip.

It's been a fun thread to watch.
Posted on 6/2/14 at 10:48 pm to oilmanNO
A lot of envy on both sides of this thread.
