DOs Promoted on “Private Practice” 
by  John CrosbyNo presence information  on 4/30/2012 5:25 PM

Do you watch “Private Practice”?  The 4/24/12 episode of this spin-off of “Grey’s Anatomy” mentioned DOs and osteopathic medicine. During the show, character Dr. Violet Turner commented that an osteopathic psychiatrist whom she and her husband, Dr. Pete Wilder, had seen for marriage counseling "wasn't even really a doctor."   This line was met by a rebuttal from Dr. Wilder, who argued back, “Osteopathic medicine is real medicine. He was a real psychiatrist, Violet.”  While the conversation started with an uniformed jab against DOs, it is pleasing to see that the show took the opportunity to promote osteopathic medicine and our psychiatric specialty. View the episode online​ (scene begins at the 7:30 mark).
