A DO qualifies for all privileges afforded an MD.

So osteopathic doctor then?

I guess you could call them that if you wanted to sound uneducated.

Lol. What, in your mind, does DO stand for?

MD and DO are the same. PhDs are weirdos. Everyone else are fake Drs.

If someone has a doctorate, doesn't that mean they are a doctor?

As a doctor myself, i'll let it slide.
