Abstract

This chapter looks at the basic techniques required for physical examination: inspection, percussion, auscultation, palpation and the use of the stethoscope. We also discuss the problems that left-handed physicians have to contend with when carrying out physical examinations. More detailed information on the use of the various techniques can be found in other chapters.
