Yes, when I moved cities I specifically chose my new PCP because he was a DO. This is because in my past experiences, I was brushed off and ignored by multiples MDs and it was a DO who actually listened to me, found out the problem and was able to treat me.
I always choose a DO over a MD. I find MD's have no bed side manner are very rude always trying to medicate you after three visits. My experience with MD has always been a bad experience. I am a living breathing human being. Please stop treating patients as they were cars. You can just plug us in and run a diagnostics. So you can push us out the door. Oh yeah one more thing they never get right and makes you feel under appreciated. Is the scheduling. Come in at 10am sit for a hour. Then get called back just to wait another half hour or more. Just so the doctor can come in for two minutes and waste my time. I've had so many misdiagnosis that I lost all respect for doctors. Other than the specialist doctors. The rest of you, really act like you did it for the money and found out you live pay check to pay check like the rest of us. So now you get bitter care providers. Don't even get me started on the way doctors treat nurses.
Doc...you and all the DOs I know are so much of a huge blessing to your allopathic colleagues. Bless you ..... For me and my practice and patience is OMT above all.... Thanks
A DO was the first doctor who looked at Ehlers Danlos as a whole rather than each individual joint and there issues. He was the first to suggest a combo of low dose naxltrone, trigger points and acknowledged that I wasn't making it up. My PCP is now a DO and I personally perfer them. I also live near UNE so we have a slightly higher amount in the area. If I hadn't seen him, and he hadn't pushed me to get a second opinion on my shoulder it MGH is wouldn't have a working arm or be able to work.
I just learned something new today so I thank you! So I decided to look into it more. I do have some questions after this. Why are DO's not licensed in countries such as mine(Sweden) and why do DO's seem to be more prevalent in the US?
You should do a video about CNP's and possibly compare them to an MD as far as what they can & can't do. The reason I bring this up is because i've been seeing a CNP for a few years now and even seen one that specialized in Neuroscience basically to just treat chronic pain.
Doctor Mike has something very similar. I like this video better however. As a nursing student this really helps me out with learning. My question would it be easier to go from a RN to MD or DO? In regards to advancing in a career?
@@MuhammadZAzhar DO is harder to finish though. DO takes 2 board exams (COMLEX and USMLE) and will take all the same classes as MD, as well as OMT (about 500 hours!). Either way it is a trade off.
This is the first video I’ve seen of yours, good job, I subbed. I have a question. Is there any kind of brain food, nutrient, or vitamin to increase Nuro plasticity?
Hey Jordan, I heard in a Tik Tok that if you get stabbed in the kidneys you can't scream, and WW2 soldiers used it to kill people silently. Is that true? The kidney screaming part, not the WW2 part.
In WW2 according to both the Soviet and the German Drill Manuals for Hand-to-Hand-Combat when you silently approach an Enemy you should stab him in the Back right under the Rib-Cage to either puncture the Lung or go right into the Heart. If you can´t aim for that: Slit Throat and Problem solved.
I don't know if you met Doctor Mike yet but you two should do a collab if you haven't. I just wanted to say thank you, your videos are not only informative, but they also have helped me get over my dislike of doctors I don't like doctors, doctors offices, seeing doctors going to hospital I don't like anything in the medical profession. With that being said, people like you and Doctor Mike have helped me not this like them anymore I've usually had nice doctors, but even though they were nice people I still don't like doctors I don't like medical professionals and medical scenarios and medical locations make me uncomfortable and very agitated, irritated, and anxiety-ridden.

I know that med schools in America are 4 years, but what I wanna know is what subjects do you study in which year and how many subjects are there in total?
It is school dependent, however the "block" system is very common currently which splits the human body into different distinct systems (cardio, MSK, neuro, repro..etc.). The school year is split into several blocks and each block focuses on one system. At my school, we go through all the systems during the 1st year learning about "normal" functionality. 2nd year we go through the systems once again but now focuses on the pathologies, aka "abnormal". 3rd and 4th years are for clinical rotations where students go through different specialities within medicine.

As far as I know the U.S. is the only country in the world where real doctors can have a degree that includes osteopathy. It didn't use to be like this. Until recent decades osteopathy was recognized as unproven hackery in the U.S. as well. I'm not really sure how it overtook the mainstream there. Everywhere else in the world, osteopathy is still recognized - at least by the medical profession - as the pseudoscience that it is.
The osteopathic degree in the US is much different then anywhere else in the world. The osteopathic degree in the US is simple the same MD education with an extra course in osteopathic manipulative medicine. Much different then just studying osteopathy only. Make sense?
@@DoctorER I know this. Like I said DO's in the U.S. are real doctors through and through. I just don't understand why osteopathy should be tacked on now...
TLDR: MDs are physicians and DOs (Osteopaths), much like PAs (Physician Associates) and NPs (Nurse Practitioners), are advanced practice mid-level providers. DOs are as important members of physician (MD) led teams as PAs and NPs. I am glad we're finally getting recognized as such!
Not exactly. Otherwise, they would have the same initials. They are both considered 'physicians', however. Only physicians can open our inflight medical kits. I prefer MDs only because I have been going to them for the last 60 years. But, I don't avoid DOs when it's necessary.

I don't like taking medicine, if not necessary!, even Vitamins if Dr did not tells me , what I need it, I would not take it. emergency life threatening yes with MD Dr, but if it just normal sick yes with OD, I have pulled 2 teeth out before, and Dr prescribed me Tylenol 3,I did not even take it, I rather use salt with warm water to heal it!, I only take a few Aspirin a year for my headache that's it, thanks God, I never get sick, or on any medication 🙏🙏🙏
First of all, an OD is a Doctor of Optometry, DO is a doctor of osteopathic medicine and MD is a medical doctor, in the US there are practically no practicing differences between the two besides philosophy which that in itself is currently kind of a blurred line as many MD schools are now approaching medicine from a DO like philosophy. In the next several years, a massive amount of DO doctors will graduate and even more in the next 10-20 years. Soon there will be no discernable difference. The DO philosophy and MD allopathic philosophy do not define how good of a doctor someone will be as I personally have worked with some MDs who are amazing, others who do not know how to talk to people. I have also worked with DOs who are amazing and others who lack bedside manner. So I would be careful before perpetuating a stigma that is no longer being recognized by a large majority of people especially when one finds there life on the line. After all, it is a Physician's decision to put those letters next to their names on their scrubs and when your life is in danger, I know I would not be looking for the DO or MD next to that name if I'm dying in an ER bed, OR bed, or out somewhere random, or being intubated. As someone who is a healthcare worker and applying for both, an upcoming MS Biomedical graduate student, and someone who will be applying for both MD and DO schools, I would suggest you do research before commenting stuff like this. Also, osteopathic medicine is a lot different in the US than osteopathy, which is uniquely European. Insinuating that you save the "hard stuff" for an MD lets me know that you actually haven't looked at the curriculum that both schools of MD and DO thought teach, because if you did, you would notice that they are exactly the same. The DO in addition, integrates 200-300 hours of OMM which is osteopathic manipulative medicine which is an ADDITION to the DO philosophy, where they get their name. AT Still wanted to form a new medical variation of healing that integrated this OMM from osteopaths he had observed and thus the DO was born. Therefore, a DO is a fully licensed practicing physician, surgeon, generalist or specialist that in addition to medical school has OMM integrated into their curriculum. AT Still was both an MD and DO. Like I said, insinuating that a DO is for "normal sick" lets me know that you have no idea what your talking about, no offense. I know DO trauma surgeons, neuro surgeons, cardiothoracic surgeons, cardiologists, ER physicians, ENTs, PCPs and MDs of all those, and let me tell you, I base their doctoring off of them, not their title. I know some MDs and DOs that are mad smart, insane next level, and some that are timid, some that do not have bedside manner, and some that know how to estabish that Patient-DR relationship in an instant and teach the patient, cognizant of their cultural and social differences. A doctor is a doctor, and no MD or DO that I know will tell you otherwise. Also, my girlfriend is in Optometry school (thats an O.D.).
@@christopherperez7674 Most people don't know much about DOs, especially that in the US they are fully licensed physicians, so these baseless types of comments will abound here on the internet. I've had internet experts say that I am mistaken and cannot treat with or prescribe meds. I guess I missed that memo b/c I've been treating patients since 2000 lol.

@@christopherperez7674 Yes, we also had a mix of MD/DO instructors at our school.

Have you ever specifically requested to see a doctor based on if they were a MD or DO? What was your reasoning?
Yes, my PCP is a DO and I felt she would be less likely to just prescribe a med. My first choices are vitamins, herbs, homeopathy.
Nice video it must be hard to be a doctor and a TH-camr👍👍
Yes, when I moved cities I specifically chose my new PCP because he was a DO. This is because in my past experiences, I was brushed off and ignored by multiples MDs and it was a DO who actually listened to me, found out the problem and was able to treat me.
Simplified answer
DO: Panel Beater
MD: Mechanic
Not hating just different skill sets

Love this guys channel, so informative.
MD or DO, I never had a preference. They're both medical doctors and attend the same duration of medical school. It's all that matters to me.
Choosing between a MD or a DO is simply a matter of personal preference.
@@DoctorER or a choice (or forced) that is hugely dependent on your intelligence.

The meaning of a DO and the training is much different in the US compared to the rest of the world. In the US, a DO is the same as an MD
It’s because the European DO’s aren’t the same as MD’s but American ones are. Leads to a lot of confusion

As a nursing student this really helps me out with learning.
My question would it be easier to go from a RN to MD or DO? In regards to advancing in a career?
It would be the same.
Easier to do DO, requirements for admission are less competitive on average.
@@MuhammadZAzhar DO is harder to finish though. DO takes 2 board exams (COMLEX and USMLE) and will take all the same classes as MD, as well as OMT (about 500 hours!). Either way it is a trade off.

It is clear that YT isn’t the best place lol.
