"In an era where time is scarce and technology seems to dominate..., we are in danger of neglecting the value of the physical examination...[In Paley, et al.] the single modality contributing most to diagnosis was history [and] some 61% of diagnoses were made by history and examination, without recourse to laboratory tests or imaging...The presence of a physical examination makes a positive contribution to clinical care, its absence compromises patient safety...New curricula for physical examination should be developed and focus on maneuvers or signs with best supporting evidence of value..."
