"I watched a cascade of missed opportunities. The leg went unexamined. The history half-heard. The diagnosis delayed, not for lack of information, but for lack of touch."

"Many clinicians approach the exam as an unhelpful but necessary component before ordering expensive & invasive tests; the exam has become less helpful, not because the information is not there, but because we fail to find it."
–Will Lyon, MD, #BedMed2025 faculty

"“There’s more to what we do at the bedside than make a diagnosis,” he said. “There is power in the touch and the time we spend with patients. And that’s something we can drive to change with assessment.” – Brian Garibaldi, MD, MEHP at ABMS

“Physicians are so enthusiastic about POCUS but to be good at US you have to go in, establish rapport with the patient, and undrape the part of the body," said Brian Garibaldi, MD, MEHP. While technology enhances the exam, performing it requires the human touch.

"Improving completion of the red reflex examination at neonatal intensive care unit discharge: a practice improvement initiative and multisite planned experiment"

"Taking learners to the bedside apart from traditional rounds can also be valuable [e.g.], examining a patient with a new or worsening clinical condition can demonstrate in real time the value of the bedside encounter in diagnosis and clinical decision making"
Or 'let's go see the sick patient'
"One way to overcome this tendency is to teach and practice a hypothesis-driven physical examination, in which a physical examination maneuver is considered in the same way that other diagnostic tests are considered."
THIS IS BRILLIANT SIMPLICITY.
"As a result of these barriers, morning rounds, traditionally a bastion of bedside teaching, have migrated to the hallway, with less than 20% of rounding time spent with actual patients"
