The physical examination
View through CrossRef
Notwithstanding the advances of the past 40 years in imaging—which is, in effect, an extension of the examination—physical signs remain central to the physician’s assessment of patients, especially those with acute illness. Failure to detect these signs contributes to misdiagnosis. To be effective clinicians, physicians must have a competent examination technique, and also need a clear understanding of what the signs can and can’t reveal in a given clinical situation.
