I have a question.

What exactly is the difference between an MD doctor and a DO doctor?

We all know what they stand for but what is the difference in training and is there ever a time you would want one over another?

The president's lead doctor at Walter Reed has DO on his coat there by his name.

Enquiring minds want to know what's up with that.

Today virtually nothing. Once upon a time there were greater differences. They were supposedly more focused on integrative medicine but with today's holistic movement and recognition of interdependence of systems it's pretty much the same. I would have a preference based on skill of the practitioner in their specialty.

This is both political and covid related, as are most things in the US, I guess. This is the first thing that's really made me think you guys are actually going to turf the orange moron:

A NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll puts Biden’s advantage at 14 points nationally, up from 8 points last month. Biden leads by an astonishing 27 points among seniors.

Turns out when Trump basically said "Grandpa and Grandma are going to die so the Economy may march on", Grandma and Grandpa took it personally. And G'n'G always vote.
