-be aware, Teresa, the are white rino (very few, but there are)
-in the Am J Med editorial there are two debates
1/ about the physical examination, annual check-up, which has no sense, no scientific base, and harms the patient
and
2/ about the physicial physicians' examination when the patient has a health problem, that needs more and better practice and more and better EBM because it needs to be substantiated with outcomes-based data

Thank you for this!  I often search for the actual sensitivity and specificity of physical exam findings for particular clinical conditions, and with the exception of certain orthopedic exams, I may as well be looking for a white rhino.
