Looking for the name of the letter that derailed any “alternative” approaches to medicine, essentially giving allopathic medicine a monopoly.
🧐 Research Wanted 🤔
The letter is US specific and was published in the late 1800’s or early 1900’s. I believe it was specifically focused on medical schools, and I believe the dude’s name started with “P”.
Thanks in advance.
Marking this to come back and check later.
Honestly I think there's much more than just one letter, even if there's a good central one to kick it off way back when. For example the organization that accredited osteopaths was recently (as in "over the last few decades" recently, and not all at once) taken over / merged / acquired by the AMA-run ACGME (accreditation council for graduate medical education) because it was becoming too prevalent and legitimate with a better philosophy. Similar movements of health (chiropractors and others) have popped up and been squashed in one way or another over the years.
