How this first-generation DO found his purpose through osteopathic medicine Alexander King, DO, shares how discovering osteopathic medicine revealed a philosophy that united his artistic talents with a whole-person approach to patient care.
There have been many DOs who have served as physician to our presidents and vice presidents. Perhaps it would be good to list them all and perhaps put this out to the press as PR about our profession. That there have been a number of DOs providing health care to the most powerful men in the world is note worthy. Mar. 14, 2025, at 1:03 pm Reply
