Physical examination

I moved, from the main page,

Patient expectations

One of the patient's principal expectations is a thorough physical examination.[1]

Not all physician-patient interactions involve a physical examination. For example, a psychiatric encounter emphasizes the interview, but may not include a physical examination.

Other parts of the relationship are cognitive in nature, and may include discussion of the patient's concerts, consultation over test results and medication, etc.
