then you dont rotate with a lot of DO residents. Its funny to see the transformation from interns. First they explain it very nice to the patient. Then by the time their a pgy2 they just yell "I AM THE DOCTOR!" kinda funny.
I contemplated DO but in the end decided that yes i am superficial and if i want to go thru all this I want the MD after my name. Kinda the same with swimming, if I'm going to bust my butt in the water every day of high school and college for 2-5 hours I am going to make it to the most competitive meets......kinda bad example but hey im studying
also if i waited for DO i wouldnt be graduating soon and im ready to graduate
nothing against DO's, i rotate with a lot of DO students and residents and theyre all as clueless as the rest of us
