if the patient flinches or turns away you have plunged your firmly pressing finger into the eye. Press upwards on 
the mastoid styloid. Good and painful, in a high distribution and localised to side. For standard work, a nearby site 
is squeezing the trapezius. Avoid rubbing the sternum as this leaves ugly bruises 4 days down the line that 
relatives are upset by and avoid rolling pens over fingernails or pinching as these too leave marks.

Best wishes,
