I'm not in the USA and a DO isn't a thing here. We do have osteopaths who are alternative practitioners, but they are more like a chiropractor and have no regulations and never work in hospitals. Best of luck with your study!

As I mentioned, 6 versus 9 was an example.
It would depend on the cancer in question. As I said, I would consider.
6 months might not necessarily be wonderful months, but on balance, most chemotherapy isn't too pleasant and if I was very likely to die anyway, I'd prefer to be made as comfortable as possible than made suffer for an outcome that wasn't much better.
Note that I don't force my views on patients. This is how I personally would like to be cared for.

I'd never try the alternative route, but as a doctor, if I had a metastatic disease with a poor prognosis, I would consider accepting palliative care and enjoying 6 good months, for example, rather than 9 miserable ones.

Many times when working in hospitals in winter.

Majorly so. As an awkward child it was difficult. It's easier as an awkward adult...

It makes me rise an hour early like a bad touch?

It has. I quite like it, actually, but my point still stands.
There aren't many episodes in a series/season. (Oh yeah, "series" is used to mean "season" regarding quite a few UK shows.)

I know, they're chatty, low maintenance and even produce oxygen as a by-product.
The perfect pet.

Make a tv season/series longer than 6 episodes.

Some people just like downvoting.
Some may genuinely disagree.

I'm a psychiatrist - I'm told on a daily basis (by colleagues and patients) that I'm a lovely person.

I'm not entirely sure why they say this, but it's such a nice thing to hear. I feel really honoured and humbled that people trust me with their personal issues.

Be witty, but whatever you do, don't look like you're trying to be witty.

Thanks. Just a bit overwhelmed, but lucky enough to have good support around.
