AZCOM offers me the best chance to develop into the physician that I strive to become. The philosophy of study at this medical school is one that I agree with. Having experienced how patients are treated on a daily basis, I have learned how the average patient consists of more than a list of symptoms. There are multiple aspects to each case that must be accounted for in order to derive an effective diagnosis. I choose to pursue Osteopathic medicine because of its' preventative philosophy of treatment and the emphasis placed on the nervous and musculoskeletal systems.
Summary sentence 7: In the final paragraph of the article, it mainly talks about how osteopathy is becoming more serious and how they are coming into New York faster and stronger. Before reading this essay I had many thoughts on osteopathy. After graduating from Concord University I plan to attend to the Osteopathic School of Medicine in Lewisburg West Virginia. I was very curious about how patients perceive osteopathic doctors because they have different initials than actual Doctors. The article opened my eyes to how DO doctors are treated compared to MD doctors.
At that time doctors were not fully educated to the best of knowledge on
A lot of surveys have been done over the years about the ethological aspect of these practices since they are sometimes considered holistic and unfounded since many healing practices are composed of rituals and sacred bundles used by shamans or witches. To a foreign audience, it might be at first disorienting and doubtful because medicine in our world is considered a science and revolves around collected data unlike religious practices. A survey made in 1994 states that “Many respondents indicated that they were unsure what traditional Native medicine entailed and thus had difficulty forming an opinion on whether it would be appropriate in various settings, especially in the hospital. In fact, 16% of the physicians indicated this directly, and another 14% left the question blank, when asked for their definition of traditional Native medicine (Table 2). Eighty-one percent believed that the use of traditional Native medicine was not an important issue in their community, although 41% knew of at least one patient in their practice using such medicines, and 15% knew of more than five patients using them.
Osteopathic Assessment : Listen with your body Ever wondered why an osteopath can say a lot about you even though you just met? Do osteopath’s read your minds? What kind of assessments do osteopaths do? Why do we notice habits that even you do not notice? Why can an osteopath tell a lot about you after your first session?

There is much misapprehension about homoeopathy among physicians as well as among the laity. Among physicians there is a feeling that if we know the materia medica that is all that is required. The materia medica is indeed important, and its thorough comprehension and study is needed at all times; but unless the homoeopathic physician has a concept of the philosophy, of the reasons underlying the administration of the remedy, he will never make a careful homoeopathic physician. One of the first and foremost elements with which the homoeopathic physician must be conversant is the different forms of energy, for it is on this basis only that we can prescribe homoeopathically.
Since as long as human life has been recorded, humans have been creating and inventing countless things to suit each need. Whether that be how we shelter ourselves, to how we hunt, or now in day, how we can provide a cure to live a little longer. Or as some people call it- medicine.
We use herbs, like they did, but we use different ones specific to the patient’s needs. Affected the Lives of People Medicine helped the people get cured of common diseases. Faith healing, if it worked, also brought more people to become religious and believe that God saved them or their family.

The history of medicine goes back over thousands of years and is still developing today. Medicine was used to diminish illness and heal injury since the beginning of humanity. In ancient times, if one was to become sick or injured, Egypt would have been the best place to do so. Egyptians chances of survival would have been remarkably better than those of one’s foreign peer, but one had the opportunity of being treated by a physician whose work was displayed all over the ancient world and has made a huge impact and change in the modern world that we know today.
In the 5th century B.C. Ancient Greece became part and parcel of flourishing medicine. Although their methods were primitive, the ancient Greeks made diversity in the field of medicine going beyond religious superstitions to more scientific endeavor. Our ancestors prescribe regular exercise, baths, and nutrition regimes that include social interactions. The Father of Medicine would jump out of his skin if he sees how we are taking care of ourselves now. Imbalanced eating habits, stress, nerve-racking noises and the contaminated habitat became a second nature for every human being and this deep-rooted lifestyle poses a detrimental effect on our psyche.
Doctors have an incredible understanding of the human body and new technology is helping them make strides all the time. But all this amazing medicine and technology has only become available in the past
