A medical physician. Meaning they are required to attend the same

residency programs and must past the same Medical Boards for Licensing Certification. These are such entities as the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Board of Cardiology, etc. Chances are you have been taken care of in hospital setting by multiple physicians who are D.O.'s without even knowing.

If DOs can do it then why not?

Except a DO is actually a medical doctor.

Neat!

HansMoleman

A DO qualifies for all privileges afforded an MD.

MissBelyakova

2/21/20 3:35pm

So osteopathic doctor then?

HansMoleman

2/21/20 3:54pm

I guess you could call them that if you wanted to sound uneducated.

MissBelyakova

2/21/20 4:08pm

Lol. What, in your mind, does DO stand for?

HansMoleman

2/21/20 4:50pm

semantically you are correct

I think Hans was spurned by some DO schools

Except, by definition, those with PhDs are literally doctors

Either these guys are just trolling you or they are extremely stupid. Either way

stlcougs

2/21/20 3:28pm

most people are not familiar with the differences and/or similarities

Agnostic-alumni

2/21/20 3:31pm

True. I do wonder, have you experienced MDs looking down you? Ive heard

stlcougs

2/21/20 3:35pm

honestly none at all. They know enough to recognize competency

Aright, I'm game. I'm open to all of it. I have questions though (just b/c I'm

Jay Rick

2/21/20 4:34pm

MD and DO are the same. PhDs are weirdos. Everyone else are fake Drs.

WDaddy

Correct, the certifications and governing boards are the same.

If someone has a doctorate, doesn't that mean they are a doctor?

The Dark Knight

2/21/20 2:43pm

It's fine as long as they aren't all uppity about using the title in social settings. Professionally is fine. IMO

like all those lawyers?

Bob Vance

They have legitimate degrees that state — chiropractic doctor.

lightmann

2/21/20 2:43pm

Is it really legitimate if no traditional university offers the degree?

slappy

2/21/20 2:50pm

Uhhh . . . maybe?

lightmann

2/21/20 3:23pm

As a doctor myself, i'll let it slide.

shimmy

2/21/20 2:44pm

It's illegal in my state unless it is specified that they are a chiropractor
