Thoughts on MD vs DO?
I need to pick a new PCP. In the Family Medicine group for our old PCP, the three most readily available names I was given are DO (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine). Seems like training similar, but DO approach more holistic / preventive (?)
At this point in life, I prefer an MD If I’m choosing.

I would say that article is fairly accurate. It does not mention that in the US if you are a foreign medical school graduate you are called an MD by default.
Presidents’ White House doctors have been recently DO’s. * March 2018 to January 2021: CDR [Sean Conley,DO]* From January 2021: Colonel [Kevin O’Connor,DO]
There have been surgeon generals and brigadier generals that are DO’s.
There is a DO med school in Parker that is probably producing graduates who tend to do residencies in Colorado and stay in the area.

As the mom of a first year resident DO in family medicine, I’d say definitely more holistic. Med school rotations definitely took a whole-body approach, whatever the specialty.

Totally anecdotal but in my experience DO’s listen better and are more empathetic to patient situations.

As our family grew with the grands, Christmas gifts were a vast area around the tree. We got a small tree that sits in the bay window to preserve some room for the shenanigans.

Random question:
Do you this time of year switch your ceiling fans to go the opposite direction? So, to help keep warm air down instead of creating cool air down?
I have to admit we don’t because if I put them on I STILL want the “cool breeze”!
If you do, do you think it makes a difference in keeping your room/space warmer?
We have ceiling fans in all bedrooms, our upstairs loft and our sunporch. Maybe I should give it a try in the places we are not sleeping.
I never could feel the difference. So, I kept it at whatever felt better for a little breeze when sleeping or exercising.

In the cold cold we reverse, yes.
Teach me. When I C & P a website address here, it spits out a ridiculously long result. Can I edit it to a shorter version? How?

Starting with the “?” (question mark) delete the question mark and everything after it.

I have a random question. We are visiting our adult DD and her and her BF will be celebrating their dating anniversary during our visit. Normally I would not give anything for kids dating anniversary but it so happens that they invited us at their place for lunch that they will be cooking for us the day of their anniversary. What should we bring? Should we acknowledge anniversary somehow?
Dating anniversary? Eh.
But a bottle of wine is almost always welcome when you go to someone’s house for a meal.

I think it’s great that they celebrate a dating anniversary! Celebrate all things as you like!
I think it’s nice if you verbally congratulate them - and also think if you want to do a little gift it’s fine - also ok if you don’t (in other words, NO obligation). A bottle of wine, a fun something to add to the lunch (like a fancy dessert or a little charcuterie) or a little gift basket for them to enjoy together like Netflix snack basket.

I kind of got in “trouble” with my daughter-in-law when I implied that wedding anniversary was a more recognizable event than their dating anniversary. She explained that many people don’t even get married these days and they always celebrate their dating anniversary. OK then… I didn’t argue, but don’t feel a personal need to acknowledge.
Since you will be there and they are celebrating, I agree a bottle of wine or other consumable would be a nice gesture.

Our first date was at Geja’s, a romantic fondue restaurant in Chicago. We went back every year to celebrate the day we met. We married nearly 10 years later but continued to go to Geja’s because why not!
