In which year did AT Still pass away?

1896
1910
1917
2001

The correct answer is: 1917

Andrew Taylor Still, the founder of osteopathy, passed away in 1917. His contributions to medicine and the establishment of osteopathic medicine were significant, as he promoted a holistic approach to healthcare that emphasized the body's ability to heal itself. The year of his death is notable in the context of osteopathic history, marking the end of an era for the founding figure of this medical discipline. The other years presented as options do not correspond with his death. 1896 predates his foundation of the osteopathic movement, while 1910 and 2001 are also incorrect, as they are not significant milestones related to Still's life and contributions to medicine.
