What is a Physician?
Physicians: They're the people we call when the contractions come every five minutes. We rush to them for broken arms, and we make appointments when we find irregular freckles. We come to them with coughs and colds and when we suspect that mom might be losing her memory or that dad's heart is working too hard. They're obstetricians and gynecologists, ER doctors, dermatologists, primary care providers, neurologists and cardiologists.
There are two main types of physicians: a Doctor of Medicine or a Doctor of Osteopathy. Both diagnose and treat patients for a range of medical issues, although a D.O. might also specialize in preventive medicine and holistic patient care. Within these categories, there are a host of specialties, from radiology to allergy and immunology, plastic surgery to urology, and pediatrics to geriatrics.
