@ThomasW68436181@fuqekgs An osteopathic physician. In the USA, they are fully licensed and equivocal to MDs. Physicians in the USA are both MDs and DOs. DOs just have additional education in osteopathic medicine.
On this timeline, we do not disparage DOs! We save it for naturopaths, chiropractors, and people who finished med school but decided to pivot to professional grifting instead of being useful to humanity
if a doctor who graduated medical school says you need something, it should be illegal for someone sitting behind an insurance desk with absolutely zero medical training to deny you coverage...
Me in college: I’d like to be a doctor
College boyfriend: Well who is going to take care of ME then?
Me dating in my 30s: I am a doctor
Men on apps: I’m looking for a woman who is going to take care of me, not someone who is obsessed with her job.
Me married now with a career
My husband to everyone he knows and even random strangers: I married a DOCTOR, y’all. And she’s a SURGEON. I am so lucky.
Ladies, never settle.
Healthcare is probably the only profession where people think it's okay to argue what the professionals on what they know. Nobody argues quantum physics with physicists, or law with lawyers. But everyone is an expert in healthcare.
