You have no idea what you are talking about, and, sadly, Dr. Barrett, as much as I admire his history and work, is far behind the times on this. In the US, DOs are equivalent to MDs. They do the same postgraduate residencies. They are no more likely to be quacks than MDs. https://twitter.com/sapinker/status/1312975755815591936 …

"...I have found no difference in the overall quality of the training these students have received, and some of the very best clinicians I have ever worked with have been DOs..."

To be fair, outside of the US, there is a big difference between DOs and MDs. I get that confusion a lot from skeptics in Europe and Australia and have to explain the situation here in the US.

there was that DO in A2 who treated sepsis from acute diverticulitis with spinal manipulation. Internship back in the 70s. I think he's retired now. I hope he's retired now.

I had surgery performed by a DO last year, and I am still alive.

There was a study in JAMA Network in Dec 2018, that may not say incompetent but DO’s were more likely to be excluded from state and federal insurance programs for fraud. Admittedly there are limitations in what can be determined from the data reported via the strike force

For the record, I’ve always used DO for our family until only recently when my insurance didn’t cover the docs my family had been seeing for over a decade. But it worked out because now my doc is an old friend from college, small world
