Osteopathic Name Badges

Ok, so I was searching you tube for videos of OMM stuff, and I found a promotional video from the Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons of California that showed various DO name tags that would say "Osteopathic Neurosurgeon" or "Osteopathic Anesthesiologist".

So here is my question; what is the point of "Osteopathic Anesthesiologist" or "Osteopathic Neurosurgeon"?
What distinguishes osteopathic approaches and allopathic approaches in the fields of neurosurgery and anesthesiology that make it prudent to identify yourself not as a neurosurgeon, but an osteopathic neurosurgeon.

This is the second rude and uncalled for message I've seen you post today. Seriously, cut it out or you will probably be banned.

It is commonplace to refer to an MD as a physician and a DO as an osteopathic physician.

This stems back to the name of the degree:

MD = Doctor of Medicine
DO = Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine

Some feel that the added adjective is needed to distinguish oneself, which is actually true.
