| Abstrakt: | Internal medicine is the specialty with the most semiological training and it is taught that the combination of a complete clinical history with a thorough physical examination allows for a diagnosis to be reached in the majority of cases. We present a clinical case where an incomplete physical examination interfered with the course of hospitalisation. In a growing technological world where complementary diagnostic tests often allow us to see what is impossible to the eye, the physical examination is often neglected. Learning Points: Reinforce the importance of thorough physical examinations in a digital era.Encourage critical reflection on cases for continual improvement. Competing Interests: Conflicts of Interests: The Authors declare that there are no competing interests. (© EFIM 2024.) |
