Yes, these docs told me that they do NOT "cut on people."
How can a DO be a surgeon; I thought they promoted "natural" healing. What is a DO?

It looks like you have a lot of researching to do if you're going to enter the medical field. Knowing what a DO is is just as important as knowing what a nurse or physician assistant is. DOs are the equivalents of MDs just about everywhere in the United States. Their scope of practice is the same. Insurance companies treat DOs just like MDs. DOs go through the same training as MDs, except there might be a little more focus on holistic medicine and manipulation. There is really not much of a difference between how DOs and MDs practice these days. You might find more DOs who choose to practice alternative and complementary medicine, but there are also MDs who do this. A DO not performing surgeries is a choice. Most DOs choose to mostly practice in the same way as MDs and have the training and legal standing to do so.
