| Posted over 5 years ago I've never heard of a holistic doctor. I have heard of a holistic approach to nursing/medicine. When I think of holistic, it means to me taking care of the whole person not just a disease process. To be holistic you would take into account the psycho-social, spiritial, physical and mental well-being. MDs (medical doctor) and DOs (doctor of osteopathic medicine) have a different philosphy of medicine. MDs look for and treat disease processes whereas DOs do the same but have a more holistic approach. I hoped this helped. |
