Q

In his autobiography, what does AT Still describe as his first lesson in osteopathy?

A

I made a swing of my father’s plow line between two trees; but my head hurt too much to make swinging comfortable, so I let the rope down to about eight or ten inches of the ground, threw the end of a blanket on it, and I lay down on the ground and used the rope for a swinging pillow. Thus I lay stretched on my back, with my neck across the rope. Soon I became easy and went to sleep, got up in a little while with headache all gone. As I knew nothing of anatomy, I took no thought of how a rope could stop headache and the sick stomach which accompanied it.

48
Q

According to HH Gravett’s recollection of AT Still’s opening address, what is the first step in osteopathy?

A

The first step in osteopathy is a belief in our own bodies. the next step is to advance that belief to an intelligent understanding. You will learn that the body is self-creative, self-developing, self-sustaining, self-repairing, self-recuperating, self-propelling, self-adjusting, and does all these things on its own power. It will use only those things which belong in the realm of foods. I want to impress on you in the beginning of your study of osteopathy with the things you use know to make a success of it. First, osteopathy is not a system of movements; second, neither osteopathy nor its application to the patient is something that can be passed around on a platter. One must delve and dig for it themselves; third, its application to the patient must be given by reason and not by rule. Osteopathic physicians must be able to give a reason for the treatment they give, not so much to the patient, but to themselves. Neither am I operating a school to teach a lot of parrots, or turn out just another doctor. The field is already overcrowded with those who for these hundreds of years have treated the patients by rule rather than reason.

Early next morning… her child was well.
