Here is a hypothetical question for DO students/ residents/docs:
Assume that you did not do an osteopathic internship. What would you do if you were traveling in one of the 5 states that require the internship for licensure, and came upon an individual that required immediate medical assistance. Would you provide that assistance immediately and without hesitation, or would you hesitate concerned for your viability in state court if sued for malpractice? I assume everyone would provide the assistance, but would you do so with a pang of concern?
No hidden agenda; just thought of the question while shaving my pits and thought I would float it out here for everyone.
