Physician Revives a Dying Art: The Physical
This New York Times article by Denise Grady centers on Dr. Abraham Verghese who is on a mission to bring back the "lost art" of the physical exam. Dr. Verghese is Senior Associate Chairman for the Theory and Practice of Medicine at Stanford University and author of My Own Country, The Tennis Partner, and Cutting for Stone. In the New York Times article he states, "Doctors and writers are both collectors of stories...Both have infinite curiosity about other people. He says that he "cannot help secretly diagnosing ailments in strangers, or wondering about the lives his patients lead outside the hospital."
