All my life until about 10 years ago, my doctor was an MD. Whenever a blood test came back with something too low or too high, a prescription was promptly issued, and I marched down to the pharmacy for another bottle of pills. Switched to D.O. (Doctor of Osteopathic medicine) Blood test numbers were questioned: ie, have you changed any eating habits, exercise habits, etc. Why are you on three different blood pressure medicines? Has your blood lead level been tested (after lifestyle was discussed)? The D.O. just seemed much more thorough in asking about why something was happening instead of automatically slapping a bottle of pills in my hand. Just sharing in case some pards are getting tired of the bottle of pills merry go round. And yes, I am feeling and doing much better.
