"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."
Bryan Broderick, MD, MEHP, @nyamhistory.bsky.social Jeremiah A. Barondess Fellow

"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.
