Doing the Physical Examination
Dr. Hudson came closer to the patient. He noted the patient’s general appearance and checked the skin and mucous membranes carefully. With an ophthalmoscope he examined the eye grounds. He checked the patient’s neck and chest.
Dr. Hudson wanted to listen to his heart and lungs and asked the patient to take a deep breath and hold it. Then to blow the air out and hold it. Then not to breath at all. Then he wanted the patient to breath in and out through his mouth.
Dr Hudson asked the patient to lie down on the examining table and palpated the abdomen. The patient had no pain in the abdomen. After checking the patient’s back and extremities, he took the reflex hammer and checked the reflexes. He then checked the patient’s blood pressure. It was 120 over 70. That was normal. The doctor’s plan was to have some laboratory tests done the next day including blood and urine tests, and an X-ray of the stomach. He invited the patient to come to discuss the diagnosis and treatment after he would have received the tests results.
