Back in the day, there used to be a big difference made between the
two degrees and their separate approaches.  DO's usually didn't  have
hospital privileges and they were mostly generalists.  It was my
impression that they were looked down upon by many MD's.
 
Then California examined the situation and the training and decided
there was essentially no difference in abilities between DO's and  MD's,
and made equality between them the law.
 
As goes California, goes the country in matters like this, and soon  it
was a done deed nationally.  Further, DO's were admitted into  specialty
training just as MD's, and as a result the DO's are much more  diversified
now than in the past.
 
I had a good friend and fellow dermatologist when I was in  Frankfurt/M
(He ran the Military clinic at the Augsburg, Germany Army Hospital).
He was very well trained.  He suffered, however, from  narcolepsy,
and would fall asleep at the oddest times.  Driving was obviously  a
problem.
