So, while some believe that osteopathic schools are inferior to allopathic schools the truth is that they receive the same training and experience before being board certified in their specialty.
However, Your post makes your ignorance of the medical profession very clear.
Just cosigning this.
It is true that people who get DOs usually have trouble getting into MD programs, that doesn't make DO programs quackery. Just easier to get into. All DOs/MDs to the same post-doctoral training required to practice (residency, fellowship, etc.).
Dr. Moskow has plenty of personality flaws on display, such as her need to refer to herself as Dr. in the poker community. But attacking the legitimacy of DOs just shows your ignorance.
