That’s a good catch! I sort of liked Bruce Campbell’s portrayal of a defensive osteopath in one of his movies - The Great Healer, he was called.
Here, it may be that they are hiding a lot about Joe by keeping him away from real doctors.
Was thinking the same (i.e., they’ve likely got a cooperative dunce in the job of presidential physician).
Now before anyone accuses me of saying all that D.O.s are hacks, I’m not saying that. However, let’s just live in reality. The less selective nature of osteopathic medical schools means that they’re not exactly the first-choice destination among the most high I.Q. would-be doctors.
