DOs and MDs both practice in accredited and licensed health care facilities. Together, DOs and MDs enhance the state of health care available in the U.S. While DOs and MDs have many things in common, osteopathic medicine is a parallel branch of American medicine with a distinct philosophy and approach to patient care.
Bee Gees star Maurice Gibb has died in a Miami hospital at the age of 53. The singer had suffered a heart attack during emergency surgery for an intestinal blockage. A spokesperson for his family said he died in the Mount Sinai Medical Centre's intensive care unit about 0045 local time (0545 GMT). Gibb, together with Robin and Barry, was one of the biggest disco stars of the 1970s as part of the enduringly successful Bee Gees.
The Bee Gees were all born in Douglas, the largest town on the Isle of Man and the main port of entry. Barry Alan Crompton Gibb was born on September 1, 1946, and the twins Robin Hugh Gibb and Maurice Ernest Gibb on December 22, 1949. They are Manx by birth, but English by nationality.
