**Trigger Warning - A racially insensitive quote is read between 20:28 and 21:16, which may be upsetting to some listeners. ** |

Kama and Austin take a dive into the ongoing discussion surrounding Osteopathic Medicine. We discuss our decision to enter into Osteopathic Medicine. We also give a woefully brief overview of the history of Osteopathic Medicine.
