Oh my gosh! That was HILARIOUS! I was cracking up through the whole video. I'm not in Med school but in a medical program at my school and I can sooo relate to what you guys were saying. LOL! So funny! "Oh my god! I have no clue what I'm looking at!" LOLOLOL
@ppaattrriicckkF You could consider going to a school in the Caribbean. I've met doctors in the hospital who went to them and they got pretty good residencies. You still need to do well in school, and actually even better than in the states as the GPA requirement to pass is higher. Consider: Ross, St. George's University, SABA, or American University of the Caribbean. You can be an MD in any of the 50 states. You spend 2 years on an awesome island, and do clinicals and residency in the US.
@LuckyDukeSeven Thing is that I won't be going through a work relief agency, I am going to do it all on my own because I already have an exact place picked out (my family has property oversees that they have set aside for me to setup a free clinic). It's still a dream in the works and who knows, it may never come to life. But that's why I chose MD, to assure that I don't run into no problems down the road because there are lots of gov't hurdles to get thru where I want to go.
@bcblade69 to each their own. DOs are VERY proud of our extra training and school of thought. Most (not all, because we have some wanna-be MDs) of us prefer the DO after our last names.
@DrJK727 DOs don't get paid less. Residency determines pay. And the majority of DOs I know don't even practice OMM, which has more to do with muscles and nerves than bones. They're less likely to go into surgical residencies. They have their own AOA residency spots and the ACGME sports. Their's go largely unfilled because DOs often want to be primary care providers. For example, getting Neruosurg/urology (high pay) is easier for a DO than an MD because AOA has higher ratios & less competition.
@bcblade69 Just a quick comment off my phone- you realize that relief work agencies facilitate a completely different route for what you plan on doing over seas? Different jurisdiction, different legal codes. MDs and DOs are both involved in things like Docs w/o boarders and of the such. Only trouble is may run into practicing* (for pay) issues in smaller nations, where doctors are paid next to nothing. So I don't think it matters.
@LuckyDukeSeven Actually to me it does matter. Even though you can practice as a DO in many countries today doesn't mean its easy. Some countries require you to do extra training to be allowed to practice. I plan on practicing primarily in North America and will be going oversees from time to time to volunteer my services for free. So having said that, the best way for me not to get stuck in red tape is to go for the MD route.
@bcblade69 The UK, Saudi Arabia, the Russian Federation, Israel, Canada, South Africa and essentially every other industrialized nation recognize DOs and license them under MD/MBBS. Maybe a DO wont be able to work in Uganda are Lithuania with full rights without an exam, but really, does that matter?
@bcblade69 Ah, best of luck. I'd like to do something like that too, but I'll likely register with the government as a relief worker as opposed to going it alone.
@bcblade69 and to everybody else: The initials behind your name don't count, but what you do with it does! We can have all the credentials behind our names and knowledge between our ears, but neither of those things automatically make you a good or bad physician. Nobody cares if you're a DO or MD...they only care if you're stupid. Don't be stupid....A little advice I heard from one of the top Developmental Peds physicians in the country (a DO who trained under an MD).
Yes, what do MD's learn that DO's don't? If I asked what do DO's learn that MD's don't, the list would be a heck of a lot longer. DO's can do MD or DO residency programs, so many DO's training after the first 4 years is identical to an MD. Conversely, MD's can't do DO residencies. I think that answers my questions. MD's and DO's learn the same stuff, with the exception that MD's don't take OMM unless their school offers it as an elective.
@ppaattrriicckkF , Thanks for commentin! D.O. are totally "real" medical students. Doctors of Ostepoathic Medicine has the exact same practice rights, specialty choices and training as MD doctors. The only difference, is we are trained extra in musculoskeletal and learn osteopathic manipulation. We are eligible to take MD boards as well as our own, and do any residency we wish, while MDs cannot partake in our residencies. For more information, you can check out AOA.org. Hope this helps!
@ppaattrriicckkF DON'T GIVE UP! If medicine is really what you want to do, you will get there. maybe it's your extracurriculars? make sure it shows your commitment to medicine, as well as the fact that you're also well-rounded. if you don't have any clinical exposure- get some. also, make sure that you're committed to your volunteering position. in addition, add some shadowing and/or research (research is not for everybody) and it should show that you truly have a passion for medicine.
@ppaattrriicckkF , DOs are NOT ODs. ODs are optometrists. DOs are medical doctors. Totally different. May I suggest saying screw it to your advisor, pull up the grades, and see what medical schools you are competitive at. DONT sacrifice your dream because someone says you arent good enough. EVER
If the guy is gay, Jus' gotta say, you're really cute :) Not sure still if I want to go DO or MD. Or go to Med school at all. meh, I still have to finish undergrad first. Anyways, best of luck to you guys!
@nerdface92 KBearRawrRawr did take it personally, hence why I replied. I don't have any issues with what other people have said. I totally agree with the comment "to each their own." I was just making a little joke in the first place. I have nothing against DOs.
@catchthis620 Dude you couldn't do what we do ever. We learn what you have to learn, and apply it to the human body with 200 extra hours of OMM. Ass, you weren't going to get into a DO School anyways!
@JCarma1991 are you serious? You go to DO school if you can't get into MD School? Seriously? You're.....damn son. If you don't know why that statement is more offensive than what other opponents have said on this video, than you may want to think a little more.
@ppaattrriicckkF your advisor said you couldn't really be a doctor, so he told you to go d.o.? it's obvious that this advisor of yours is misinformed and should not be given the responsibility in helping to guide students to reach their future goals. a d.o. is a doctor. my advise is---raise your grades, do well on the mcat, and volunteer. apply m.d. or d.o. and if you get in to either one, you'll become the doctor you want to be.
@bcblade69, you clearly have no idea what you're talking about bcblade69, there are plenty of incompetent physicians in every side... MD or DO... and no i'm not in medical school but in another health profession. What matter is properly diagnosing the patient in a timely and correct manner, MD, DO, or MBBS are just superfluous titles, and in no way predictive of how good a physician practice.
@KBearRawrRawr You need to learn how to read. I said I rather have a MD beside MY NAME not by my side. I'm not here putting down DOs. I just made a little comment that I prefer the MD title for myself.
@medstudent1229 For one, DO isn't recognized worldwide as much as MD. The fact that it is harder to get into a MD school than a DO school even though there are way more MD schools tells you a lot. I'm not trying to make this a MD vs DO war. In the end, we are all becoming doctors and we will all be treating patients. All Im saying is that my preference is MD. And if your preference is DO, good for you.
Oh my gosh! That was HILARIOUS! I was cracking up through the whole video. I'm not in Med school but in a medical program at my school and I can sooo relate to what you guys were saying. LOL! So funny! "Oh my god! I have no clue what I'm looking at!" LOLOLOL
This was awesome! XD Love it!
"OMG i have no clue what I'm looking at." LMAO i'm in tears
I literally laughed out loud when he's like "I'm sorry, I really have to go study right now."
"Mommy...I know I failed. It was so hard. You don't understand!" -me, every week
"Oh my god, I'm so sick of this.
All I want to do is be rich."
^Truer words were never said!
"This is nothing like Grey's Anatomy" haha, brilliant!
"I just want to be rich!" Haha ! :D I love it.
OMG...I went to this school!! :) Definitely don't miss those days :-)
1:30 = funniest part. i can tell everyone in this video is awesome.
“Omg I think I have endometriosis” hahaha

hahah this was awesome!! Where do yall go? researching places to apply! would you recommend your med school?
"I haven´t slept in days!", "I need to study", the know it alls (who i secretly envy) in the front of lecture XD and the last part especially!
hahahahahahahahaha!!!!! so true!! I'm a med student and I've said almost every line here! xD
LOL this is so funny!! XD

@bcblade69 they didn't take it personally they said "to each their own" meaning that they understand that it's your personal preference.

I think I have endometriosis hahaha
Regardless of them being the same, I rather have a MD than a DO beside my name :p
::pops out of bushes:: u still got last years exam?

I've probably said about half the stuff in this video

@Williamjosh11 you obviously arent a med student. Or arent far enough along in med school to relate. Or are a ginger and have no soul
wowwwww. DOs are real doctors. And there are ortho DOs. Check your facts
@ppaattrriicckkF your advisor said you couldn't really be a doctor, so he told you to go d.o.? it's obvious that this advisor of yours is misinformed and should not be given the responsibility in helping to guide students to reach their future goals. a d.o. is a doctor. my advise is---raise your grades, do well on the mcat, and volunteer. apply m.d. or d.o. and if you get in to either one, you'll become the doctor you want to be.
