Yes. Absolutely. This thought pops up in the back of my mind every time a newbie starts a thread on the DO forums and an SDN veteran growls 'do a search.'

So much yes. If anything, that's the only good reason to change the degree name. Its either "do", spanish "dos", Google saying "did you mean dog?", etc.

Or Google just drops it as an insignificant word.

Is there a way to make a Google search case sensitive?

"D.O."

It also has the benefit of screening out any website too lazy to appropriately spell the term. Full disclosure: I am too lazy to appropriately spell the term. That's a lot of punctuation.

I also can't tell at a glance whether someone is just emphasizing that you need to DO something... or whether it's a reference to being a D.O. :( Tough life.
 
It's D.O. So it shouldn't be a problem :D
 
Lately I've seen people using the abbreviations m.d and d.o

If you're going to be lazy it should be DO or MD. At least that is aesthetically more appealling than "m.d"

Did you mean illuminati?


Or maybe...
While MD schools have alumni,
DO schools have.... ALUMNIATI!

Heh, no. It was a reference to the series of jokes best captured in videos like this, which is incidentally the inspiration for my profile pic.

I watched that whole video.
Pretty sure I'm going to flunk out of medical school now.
Worth it.

Lebron James is illuminati. He played for the fighting Irish in high school. If you take a D.O. Degree and put it in between his name he becomes Lebron D. O'James. We are now all illuminati.

If my last name was do I would name my kid John or Jane. Wouldn't be able to resist.
