Oh boy.

This just goes to show how many people make claims without actually researching anything about them. If you would like a good laugh, take a look at this article. I can't believe Forbes would actually allow something so biased and inaccurate to be published. Oh well, I'm still excited to learn some pseudoscience next year!

Thank you for this enlightening article that hasn't been posted on SDN even once in the six years since it was published.

It's nice to see that he partially came to his senses, but he's still incorrect about using the term "allopath/allopathic physician" for MD's.
If DO's are osteopathic physicians, then what are MD's? Physicians? No, because both are physicians, and if one used the term in a sentence, it would simply be unclear as to whether one is referring to an MD or DO. His thoughts on the term as, "pejorative," are again, incorrect; it's simply used as a means of distinction. I wouldn't feel it as pejorative if someone referred to me as an osteopathic physician in the future, because that's exactly what I'll be. His logic is backwards.

Overall though, this guy's a ***** and has no business talking about things he knows nothing about. Ffs...

This f*cking guy. Why do they let reporters write on things when they don't know what they're talking about?

I thought the same thing when I read it. Completely ruins his credibility and even assists in ruining Forbe's credibility. Not to mention the only data he was concerned about was US news rankings....lol

I don't even think US news ranking credibility is that trustworthy anymore. Maybe not the list of riches people in the US lol
