This is Scary

DO have some strange ideas too. Sample 

Case 8 (Sample COMLEX Question 19)

19. A 53 year-old man comes to your office complaining of vertex headaches. He was struck in the head 6 months ago by a 40 pound pipe, which fell from an overhead storage rack. The blow was struck to the left superior frontal area. When asked to point to his areas of pain, he indicates a line extending from the lambda to the bregma and then for an inch or so along the left coronal suture. On physical examination he appears to be suffering from simple sutural compression. Which of the following cranial techniques would NOT be appropriate for this case?

A. Direct sutural disengagement

B. Molding technique

C. Combined technique, starting indirect exaggeration and finishing with direct disengagement

D. Direction of fluid technique

E. Oppose physiologic motion

I see your point. But the vast majority of DOs go into an MD residency (like 80% or something since the merge) and never look back/practice osteopathic manipulation again.

Yes, no more AOA residencies next year.
