Hasan Minhaj Do
Hasan released a video to response to criticism from members of the osteopathic community and their MD colleagues, explaining his negative remarks about DOs and their qualifications. In September, he made the disparaging remarks on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
Aside from comparing osteopathic physicians to RC Cola and allopathic physicians to Coca-Cola, he stated that DOs couldn’t “afford the good letters” and related a story about his own physician while dealing with a fertility issue. The AOA couldn’t find any proof that the doctor he mentioned even existed. The AOA, DOs from across the country, and hundreds of MDs banded together on social media to demand an apology. The video continues to make fun of DOs and mentions MCAT scores several times, but the comedian acknowledges that osteopathic physicians are excellent doctors who provide excellent patient care. It also mentions the fact that allopathic and osteopathic physicians are fighting a pandemic.
