How do ND's compare to MD's?

First, I would like to say that I consider Medical Doctors to be colleagues, not adversaries. I have good relations with many MD's and I recognize the need for all types of medicine.

How are we similar?
We all have the patient's best interests in mind when we make clinical decisions.
We both take insurance
We both use detailed history, physical exam, laboratory tests and imaging to diagnose.
We take the same basic science classes
We both spent a lot of time and money on education and carry huge student loan burdens
We both carry malpractice insurance
We both refer out for specialists opinions and treatment
We both can prescribe antibiotics and other pharmaceutical drugs
We both have national and state associations
We both take national board exams
We both have our scope of practice determined by our training and the state DOH
We both take the Hippocratic Oath.
We both must comply with ethical standards outlined by the state
We are both primary care physicians
We both have National Provider Identity numbers, DEA numbers, and business licenses

How are we different?
Our philosophies of health and healing are different
Our treatment modalities are usually different
Naturopaths generally spend more time with their patients
MD's pay higher malpractice because their treatments are usually of higher force
There are many more MD's in practice
MD's make more money in general
MD's can work at the hospital, ND's are in private practice
ND's cannot prescribe the most hightly addictive pharmaceutical drugs
ND's are largely not recognized by the US Federal Government and are not covered by Medicare/Medicaid
