I am apologising to all hard working D.O.'s If I have offended any one. Actually one of the best doctors, I worked with is D.O. and they are all great.

it should be noted right about here that sheikh1, who was called ignorant etc, has acted far more graciously than those who chose to take issue with his original comment. Feel free to disagree with others here, but you may NOT do it by insulting them.

That's grossly irresponsible statement, and not a very smart one. D.O. represent some of the finest doctors in just about every field of medicine.
I'd take US D.O over Carib M.D. anytime, and I have no problem paying for it
then you've spent an amazing amount of time on this board with over 100 posts most expressing interest in SMU. in fact perhaps, not a very smart statement even.

My group covers 3 hospitals ( and I work at an additional 2 hospitals as moonlighting coverage )....for a total of 5 hospital badges.

4 of these hospitals are "allopathic" and one we cover is "osteopathic"
the badges from the 4 allopathic hospitals list me as "FLK" MD--staff physician

the badge from the osteopathic hospital says " DR FLK"( no degree is ever shown )I find this very odd, like they are hiding their degree and just calling themselves doctors the way the spine poppers ( chiros ) do

So when I round there I don't show their badge, I wear the one with the largest MD on it.

Funny thing is that my own phycian is a DO. Good doctors are good despite caribbean or DO on their diploma. I have worked with more than a few total quack MD's from harvard. Best resident I ever had was from SUNY Buffalo
