| | Physical examination - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In medicine, the physical examination or clinical examination is the process by which the physician investigates the body of a patient for signs of disease. | | | Whilst the format of examination as listed below is largely as taught and expected of medical students, a specialist will focus on their particular field and the nature of the problem described by the patient. | | | Likewise an Orthopaedic surgeon will examine the affected joint, but may only briefly check the heart sounds and chest to ensure that there is not likely to be any contraindication to surgery raised by the anaesthetist. |

| | Pediatric Physical Examination |
| | Usually, the patient is examined in a crib or on a table. | | | If the doctor feels that at any time in the examination there will be pain, it is important to tell the patient that he/she will "feel" something or that a "needle" will be given. | | | Occasionally, it may be necessary to restrain the patient for the examination of such parts as the ears or mouth. |
