DO : A doctor of osteopathic medicine has additional training compared to medical doctors. There is additional training in manual medicine and additional training to understand the entire person including social, emotional and spiritual. Ultrasound is a normal procedure done by emergency room doctors. It may be possible to see a heartbeat at 8 weeks.
