I see you also are prejudiced against docs not born in this country. I have dealt with 4 Indian doctors over the years — different situations — different family members needing care. They were a rheumatologist, a cardiologist, a pulmonologist, and a surgeon. Each was an outstanding diagnostician, without arrogance, and they actually seemed to like “old people.” Curiosity and caring seemed to be a natural part of their psychological makeup. That’s my experience — which I just had to throw in here because when I see painting with a wide brush, it makes me grouchy — and I just have to speak up.

I want to join you in wondering.
I have been doctored by a few non American doctors...my experience has always, with no exception been fantastic.
And I had serious issues many years ago, resolved by a D O, and I asked about the DO part, never having been in the care of someone with that designation, and he explained it was his choice.
