If you are getting surgery or some procedure then you want an experienced person who has a good reputation. schools don't mean shit really. residency is more imp't than school but even that isn't as important as just going to a competent person.

Also primary care doctors are not really doctors - they are GED-holding orangutans who wear white in order to impersonate the KKK. |

Date: September 30th, 2014 12:53 AM Author: Comical awkward native If they have the same specialty, honestly I would pick the one with the less prestigious pedigree because it means that person was more successful out of school because of having to fight against the "stain" of less prestige. It's for this reason that I'll always opt for a DO over an MD, ceteris paribus. The DO will have overcome anti-DO flame to have achieved the MD's same position, meaning the MD did better on the MCAT and had a better undergrad GPA, but the DO probably outscored the MD on all the stuff that really matters to get an equally good residency/fellowship and position after residency/fellowship (COMLEX, step 1, step 2, step 3, impressed the attendings/recommenders to ignore the DO degree, whatever). |
