I think DO docs used to do spinal manipulation or something...still do, I think...or at least they're trained in it.
DO schools have lower undergrad GPAs. They're more focused on primary care and under-served populations, usually. They have the same prescribing privileges and such as MDs.
I googled it, and apparently some aspiring docs choose between DO school and a foreign medical school for an MD, lol.
Anyway...I don't think his DO status had anything to do with this. Shrinks in general aren't that great, and I've personally found that they tend to be either old and cranky or young and cocky...or middle aged and not interested, lol.
