Ok, I get it, I think. I know my endo doc that was really good was an M.D. My gyn that first diagnosed me was not though. He had lots of initials after his name, I think something like D.O. F.A.C.O. G. something or other LOL!

I hope you are doing well today, and grandma too.. :0) Michele

>An M.D. is a Medical Dr where as a D.O. is a Doctor of

Osteopathic medicine. The D.O.s combine natural medicine with Western Medicine. The D.O.s can specialize in the same areas of medicine such as ob/gyn just like an M.D. I read a book several years ago about the history of Osteopathic medicine and it was fantastic. Sorry that I can't remember the name of the book. >
>Doctors of Osteopathic medicine diagnose problems by

asking about other problems that affect the rest of the body even though they can subspecialize as I said before. By working from head-to-toe they can get a better idea of what the problem that is bothering you the most. >
>Sorry that I can't answer anything about their education

b/c I can't remember. I think that they go thru a 4 year program also, but I don't know about after that training. >
>I've had a few good experiences with the Osteopathic drs,

and the dr who takes care of my grandma now is an Osteopathic dr. >
>I hope that this is of some help to you. Also you aren't

sounding dumb by asking this question. >

flowers, candy, finding a good ob/gyn who will truly listen to us, and finding a cure for endometriosis. >
