[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar II, post: 114558, member: 4391"] For anyone who has been reading along with my asthma or whatever it is that is the matter with me, I made an appointment with an osteopath internist. In the North where I am from, there are MDs. I am sure there are some osteopaths, but the preponderance of medical care is provided by MDs or nurse practitioners. When I noticed the pages of physicians with OD, rather than MD after their names in the phone book down here, I did some research to learn what the difference is and then, made the appointment with the OD internist ~ an internist being someone who treats only adults over eighteen. (I did not know that before, either.) Anyone have experience/opinion regarding OD versus MD provider? I am going to do a little more poking around on this, but I think that the osteopathic internist is the way I am going to go. Anyone care to share their experiences with osteo versus medical doctors? The research I did indicated that, while osteopaths train differently (and perhaps, less vigorously) than MDs, both must perform medical internships, and must pass the same medical boards in order to practice medicine.
