Something tells me that if the cover of Newsweek said Hero D.O. a lot of people would be scratching their heads and saying "what the hell is that?"He tried to pass as an MD but was caught by the AOA?
Or perhaps as part of the AOA's plan to get more DOs on TV?
Or perhaps he risked his life to save some fellow soldiers and received the Bronze Star with a Combat V and was featured on the cover of national magazine (and fooled the editors to think he was an MD)
Or if you believe some naysayers on SDN, he is a rarity because he's a DO (NYCOM grad) who ended up in a non-primary care specialty (urology) at an academic allopathic institution (MCG)
Hmmm ... I wonder if he will mention the error (Hero MD) on the show ... and explain that he is really a DO

I totally agree. I hope that he uses a little bit of tonight to talk about that. I will definitely be watching.But it would have been a perfect opportunity to spread the word about the DO's
But Newsweek's goal is to sell magazines, not do the AOA's job.But it would have been a perfect opportunity to spread the word about the DO's

Once you serve in combat (just FYI- before anyone accuses me of having no leg to stand on in regards to what I'm about to say: I was under fire on more than a couple of occasions when I was in Afghanistan so I technically have a little bit of room to say something ....MirrorTodd might have a comment about this too since he's been to Iraq) then you have a right to start spouting off at the mouth about being let down by someone who has been in the line of fire.I was anticipating, "Richard Jadick, D.O." in the tagline during the interview . . . and on the cover of his book . . . and in the book's description on BarnesandNoble.com . Must say Im a little let down.

osteopathic teaching hospitals
As a result most of these DO's will be viewed as and view themselves as MD's. This may be why Cmdr Jaddick, DO did not reveal his osteopathic background on the Daily Show, because maybe he views himself as being more of an MD.
More and more DO have to go to allopathic training for their post-graduate years and as a result of that they loose the identity and the relevance of their osteopathic background.
They had those.....I think most of them went out of business back in the 1970s and 1980s. There's one over in Indianapolis but most of the residents don't know it's there.

Let this be a lesson to all you pre-med kiddies:: NOBODY CARES ABOUT THE INITIALS AFTER YOUR NAME!!!!!! Why didn't he mention he was a DO? Was it because he's embarassed? NO. Was it because he was hiding it? NO. Was it because he wishes he was an MD? NO. It's because nobody cares! He's a DOCTOR, and saved lives and that is what the interview is all about and that is what being a doctor is about, DO or MD. Why would he talk about his schooling? If they had an MD on the show do you think they would ask him about where he went to school, where he did his residency, what made him decide to be an MD? Geez I wish some of you losers would get off SDN and stop your whining about how nobody is going to know what the letters after your name means. Just wait another year and apply again to MD schools or go to the Carribean, or do us all a favor and give up medicine completely, but stop embarassing the rest of the DOs who are truly in this to treat patients and not to show off the letters after our name.
"Swing and a miss, full count!"...but I do think that DO's in general care less about the initials but more about the progression of the profession. Some people want more publicity for the osteopathic profession because they are apart of it, and it's not necesarrily because they think initials are important. I would think the caribb students who choose that route because of the letters are what your post is more directed towards

they should have just changed the title to Dr. Hero and leave off the last to letters and there would be no confusion
One of the reasons patients don't become more aware of the osteopathic education of their doctors is because unless they read their id all they here is Dr. _insert name_

It can be but a lot of hospitals (read as: most of the places I have worked; including two academic medical centers) rely on the docs to provide their own coats if they want them embroidered with their names. So it's basically and largely a matter of personal preference.Isn't the DO acronmyn stitched on your white coat just like MD is?
Its sad that no one here is interested in what he's saying or the work he's been doing...
Dr. Jadick is on Fresh Air with Terry Gross on NPR right now.
What you are saying is untrue. In an ideal world, prejudice such as DO vs. MD wouldn't exist. But, it does. An analogy would be: a stellar residency applicant from say a Caribbean MD school have much more difficult time getting into top residencies than US MD applicants. Those are just the facts of life. It'd be nice to live in a world where one's virtues and abilities matter more than titles of MD vs. DO. Unfortunately, as far as this topic is concerned, there are still many people in the medical field who view DOs as being inferior. That's also likely a fact. Do I personally feel that they are inferior? No way. I've worked with enough medical staff to know that it's the person who make the difference not what degree or even the status of the institution he/she works at. It really is the individual who make the difference. But, saying that nobody cares about the titles MD or DO is like saying there are no racial issues in the US.
