I’ve heard of this type of stuff but didn’t know what it was called. Best of luck with your continuing education! I’d be interested in hearing about what kind of treatments DOs prescribe and/or carry out.

I think I would like visiting a D.O. more, because I like the whole person approach. I haven’t settled on a doctor since moving to Charlotte, but now I have a better idea of what to look for. Thanks for the info, and good luck with all that medicine stuff, I hear it’s pretty hard.

I agree with the whole person approach….sadly missing in a lot of physicians nowadays. I wish we could have that training overhere, since we see tons of patients with rheumatic diseases, just to name a few.

I had no idea there were two differing degrees in modern medical practising; it’s good to know. Looking at things in different ways is very important, especially in scientific schools of though where the correct decision and the right decision are often not the same.

Well written Doc. :)
