Ya'think thats bad.

I once flew to Tenerife, took the wife and kids, cost me a packet, and all I reckon the pilots did was press a few buttons and drank a bit of coffee.



In all honesty, most of "clinical examination" is a load of boll*cks anyway.

90% to keep the patient happy, 5% to avoid getting sued, 5% to actualy find anything out.

Having said that, the man who does my classII is very thorough, though I expect he gleens more information from the history sheet we all tell lies on, than what he finds out with his stethoscope.
