No. "DO" means "Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine." In the USA, DOs are equivalent to MDs in all medicine practices and surgery.
However, this question is not entirely incorrect. Perhaps, DOs in the USA should possibly change their archaic degree from "DO" to "MD" to help patients realize they are indeed Medical Doctors. The fact the old and aged DOs in the AOA do not change the DO to MD degree, then perhaps this old DOs should be labeled appropriately as Dumb Oxes (from new DOs graduating who definitely want this degree change to MD).

I believe what the author above is trying to convey is that the AOA leaders, who run the AOA and collect the fees of all AOA DO members, do not want to change the DO degree to MD,DO or MD, as most of the AOA members. These aging DOs do not want change for the better or for modern times. These old DOs just want to keep the DO degree the same and collect checks for due fees from the modern graduating new DOs. These old DOs never send out a vote to its DO members asking for a 1 DO - 1 vote for the DO to MD or MD,DO degree change.
The Patron saint of schools who was once called the Dumb Ox is Saint Thomas Aquinas. He was given the nickname "Dumb Ox" early in life due to his quiet demeanor, but later he became known for his profound intellectual contributions to the Catholic Church, particularly in the field of philosophy and theology.
Ox = Tuller
The raw, untreated skin of an Ox
Saint Thomas Aquinas was called the 'Dumb Ox' by his classmates and teachers during his time at the University of Paris because of his large size, quiet demeanor, and perceived slowness in speech. However, his nickname was more a reflection of his humility and simplicity rather than his intellect, as he went on to become one of the greatest thinkers in the history of Western philosophy and theology.
