    And so we bid farewell to all of these fine physician who so wanted to serve mankind as a physician that they practiced a lifetime without ever signing “MD” at the end of their signature; but instead of the coveted “MD” degree which is for some so important as to causes them to abdandon their ambition to become physicians because being an “MD” was the most important element of their desire that without it, they would rather spend a lifetime doing anything else. Instead, these fine physician went on to a lifetime of fulfilling their dreams and desires to practice medicine, never as MD’s but forever as medical physicians nevertheless under the banner of the still stigamatized, although to a lesser extent, degree of DO. Never MDs but forever physicians none-the-less in the eyes and hearts of their families, patients, and colleagues. Amen

    And so we bid farewell to all of these fine physicians who so wanted to serve mankind as physicians that they practiced a lifetime without ever signing “MD” at the end of their names; but instead of the coveted “MD” degree which is for some so important as to causes them to abdandon their ambition to become physicians without it because being an “MD” was the most important element of their desire that without it, they would rather spend a lifetime doing anything else. Instead, these fine medical physicians went on to a lifetime of fulfilling their dreams and desires to practice medicine, never as MD’s but forever as medical physicians nevertheless under the banner of the still stigamatized, although to a lesser extent more currently, degree of DO. Never MDs but forever physicians none-the-less in the eyes and hearts of their families, patients, and colleagues. We will miss their presence and contributions. Amen

    We all seem end up the in the same place. RIP
    I have loved this line from a very cool D.O who came to KCOM in 1976 to give a shout out to Osteopathy.

    “You take the best MD in the world and combine him or her with the best cirropracter and you get a mediocre Osteopath”
