In detailing a simple car crash story, this newspaper felt the need to explain what a D.O. does, incompletely:
Baez is a doctor of osteopathy, a hospital spokesman said yesterday. Osteopathy is a drug-free, non-invasive medical practice that focuses on total body health by treating the musculo-skeletal system, including joints, muscles and the spine.
Reminds me of this story, where Time felt the public didn’t know what a D.O. was, and freely substituted “M.D.” instead. (via OnThePharm)
