[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Osteopathy is what? I know, I could google. I will google.
Apparently my mom's attending doc is a D.O. She told him she wanted a second opinion, so he said something about getting the head of cardiovascular surgery to review her chart. Mom's response - "Oh, Chris? Sure, he is good." As I said, she knows enough key people that everyone else SHOULD be careful.
{{{Anne}}} I'm so sorry.
Osteopathy is what?
The opposite of allopathy. Allopathy treats a local disease locally, while osteopathy treats the whole body.
Osteopaths have generally been more accepting of alternative medicine and medical practices outside of the normal sphere of doctordom (chiropractic medicine, acupuncture), but they are real, licensed doctors with degrees from medical colleges of osteopathy.
How would I go about finding a local osteopath?
Strange that he seems to be treating the blood clot issue separately from her kidney failure/dialysis issues then.
Loves me some osteopaths. They can do spinal manipulations and such, but they don't have the weird reputation that chiropractors do. Mostly because they'll admit that there might be something wrong with you that's not related to your spine being out of whack.
Oops, I had something scrambled there.
Osteopathy believes that certain manipulative techniques can speed healing, similar to chiropractic stuff.
And it's a chiefly American thing born of the post Civil War retreat from traditional medicine, emerging a decade or so before Graham's crackers and Kellogg's cereals.
