What does an AME doctor do at check?

I recently went to a FAA class 1 and JAA class 2 medical, with an AME recommended by a friend.
What happen?
He looked at me, took some notes, ECG rest, which was abnormal, but sorted now and not an issue, besides that he did NOTHING!

I saw other pilots was in there for renewal, was in approx. 10 mins, and around £240 lighter.
The only test he did was ECG resting, besides that NOTHING / NADA.

Is this normal for renewals? The FAA class 1 was my first in 17 years.
