The DOs: Osteopathic Medicine in America is a comprehensive overview of the history and evolution of osteopathic medicine. This historical account opens with the influence of founder Dr. Andrew Taylor Still on the inception of osteopathic medicine.
It then discusses the obstacles osteopathic medicine faced to grow its institutions and expand its scope of practice, including the pushback it faced from the orthodox medical community. The text contains a thoughtful discussion on the principles and philosophy that constitute the core of osteopathic medicine.
Historian Norman Gevitz provides a riveting documentation of the progress osteopathic medicine has made over the past century from a form of medicine that was once antagonized and disregarded by the medical community to the well-established and widely-practiced medical profession it is today.
