Dear future DO physicians

A couple of days ago I suffered from a spontaneous pneumothorax, and was misdiagnosed by my doctor. It wasn't until the DO resident ordered an ultrasound (the attending didnt!!) that she saved my life. I have made disparaging remarks questioning the capabilities of DO and I want to formally apologize. My comments were ignorant and unjustified. False narratives perpetuated by the internet and peers have reinforced these false beliefs. As your future colleague and partner, I am very sorry.
