D.O., Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine

Newsweek managed to make a huge blunder, one which Gawker has kindly pointed out to us all. It turns out that their Hero M.D. was not an M.D. at all, but instead a D.O., or doctor of osteopathic medicine. Osteopathic medicine "takes a holistic approach to medical care, emphasizing prevention and focusing on the body's musculoskeletal system." Sweet. It's funny, because I also take a holistic approach to medical care. Maybe I should be on next week's cover.
