dédié à mes co-externes… cranquis: medicalstate: The Dichotomy of Diagnosis. A classmate of mine sent this to me to my amusement. I have written in the past about my feelings on the importance of a good physical exam but sometimes it does make you wonder if it is worth doing. In medicine, they continuously tell you to “treat the patient, and not the numbers;” I think that expression extends to this realm too. There is something to be said about a physician’s clinical experience and the ability to assess patients through the five senses that a machine simply cannot translate to you. Instead, machines should act as a supplement to your own clinical abilities. *s-s-snap goes the rubber glove! s-s-squirt goes the lube!*
