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 …
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.

Which raises the question, why continue to have the DO degree? They’re not taught osteopathy in the sense that anyone understands it. Just re-title the degree as MD and be done with it.

Maybe a DO can answer that. I don't know. I think they believe there's some value in their philosophy.
