Guest guest Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 That sounds like something good! Do they prescribe all the meds we deed too? I don’t even know if we have one in this town. From: lonewolflinda Sent: Monday, April 26, 2004 9:07 PM To: LUPIES Subject: TO KAROL / D.O. VS M.D. Hi Karol, I hope I can answer your question..if not someone else in the group will I'm sure! D.O. stands for Doctor of Osteopathy......They get their medical degree from a school of Osteopathy.......I think they have the same number of years of training as an M.D......they just go to different schools. It has been my experience that Doctors of Osteopathy tend to treat the whole person .....Physically, mentally,and sometimes even spirtually..... For instance an M.D. treats ` (the Heart Attack in room 123'.).......the D.O. treat the patient in room 123 as (`Joe's Wife....mother of & ....who loves to garden and Paint in oils.) They seem to take the time to get to know the whole person.....and not just treat the symptoms that a person is presented with. When I was in the Osteopathic Hospital where I was finally diagnosed with Lupus.....there was a ` manipulation Therapist' that came everyday and did very gentle and slow manipulations of my body......and taught me how to breathe more efficiently taking very deep breathes extending my stomach muscles, not just my diaphram.....he even adjusted the bones of my head.....of all things.! I noticed that while he was adjusting my body......he watched my face....and then went back and did more manipulations of the tender or tight parts of my body........It was the most relaxing experience I've ever had. Nothing like a massage or chiropractic manipulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Hi Cheryl, Yes, a D.O. can prescribe all the medicines that an M.D. can.........If you look in your phone book under Physicians & Surgeons........You will find :(Physicians & Surgeons -Doctors of Medicine-M.D.) and then (Physicians & Surgeons-Doctors of Medicine-D.O.)......if you are interested in the Manipulative treatments.....Look in the D.O. Medical Specialty Guide.....and look for Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment. I don't know why that link won't take you to that site today, it did last night. Hmmmmmm. Just try again later.Or just type in your address bar of your browser." Osteopathic Medicine " . That's how I found it. On the first page it takes you to ,there is a listing of Schools and stuff......at the very bottom of the page......click on page 2.....scroll down till you see "History of Osteopathic Medicine- virtual Library."
