Direction of article; perhaps related articles?

How do you see this article developing? For example, one direction is the art and science of physical diagnosis. Another is the role of periodic physical examination in health maintenance. Another is the classic balance of history vs. physical ("Treat the patient, not the chart, Doctor. The chart isn't sick.") and which should be done first, and now the balance of H&P vs. diagnostic tests (i.e., is this pathology or a Victim Of Modern Imaging Technology?)
