A while back, someone posted a message about a few books which discuss osteopathic medicine. I am unable to "search" for the post, so could someone please post the names of some good reads on osteopathic medicine..Thanks!

I just finished The DOs: Osteopathic Medicine in America by Norman Gevitz. It's a great book. Perfect if you were ever interested in how osteopathic medicine began and evolved, as well as how the whole MD vs DO thing came about. 🙂
