This was a happy moment for me reading those words in November of 2014. There really is no question. There is and can be a spiritual element in osteopathic medical care. I spent two years trying to get the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) to understand I could not be one of their members because the philosophy and practice of osteopathy was spiritual. By being a member of the AOA and practicing osteopathic principles, I would be violating my own religious beliefs. It was a wonderful moment when they got it. Now the question was, would they accommodate me and find a way for me to renounce osteopathic religious spiritual thought and keep my allopathic\/scientific (traditionally called MD) medical training. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The answer was a resounding no!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The reason, I later discovered, is that the National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners (NBOME) has wed that spiritual element to my training, license, and all domains of patient care. \u003cbr\u003e -- Karen Melton, Physician\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"This book reveals an insider's view of the world of osteopathic medicine and shines a bright light on aspects of the underlying philosophy that are sure to startle and alarm the reader.
