my mom is an osteopath.
[{"role": "system", "content": "Osteopathic medicine is a branch of the medical profession in the United States. Osteopathic doctors (D.O.s) can become fully licensed physicians (medical doctors) able to practice medicine and surgery in all 50 states and are recognized in 65 other countries, including all Canadian provinces. Frontier physician Andrew Taylor Still founded the profession as a rejection of the prevailing system of medical thought of the 19th century. Still's techniques relied on manipulation of joints and bones, to diagnose and treat illness, and he called his practices \"osteopathy\". By the middle of the 20th century, the profession had moved closer to mainstream medicine, adopting modern public health and biomedical principles. American \"osteopaths\" became \"osteopathic medical doctors\", ultimately achieving full practice rights as medical doctors in all 50 states, including serving in the U.S. armed forces as physicians. The practice has been referred to as the new \"jazz of medicine\", a term coined by\u00a0Dr. Wolfgang Gilliar, an osteopathic physician who is the Dean of\u00a0New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine. In modern medicine, any distinction between the M.D. and the D.O. professions has eroded steadily.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "i want to know more about Osteopathic medicine"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "The system of Osteopathic medicine was founded by Andrew Taylor Still."}, {"role": "user", "content": "when was it founded and was it in the US ?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "It was first founded in the 19th century."}, {"role": "user", "content": "oh thats cool. do they do certain types of surgeries ?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "No it relies on the manipulation of joints within the body."}, {"role": "user", "content": "ah, are there any meds or devices that were created for this issue ?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "You are seeing the practice less and less now days with jobs in the field eroding "}, {"role": "user", "content": "why are they eroding? did they solve the issue ?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "By the middle of the 20th century new and more effective techniques were discovered."}]
