What Happens During a Physical Exam?
One of the best ways to ensure that you are healthy and prevent medical conditions from becoming serious is to visit the doctor annually for a physical exam. For most patients the exam will follow a routine and will begin with collecting the person’s medical history. The doctor will also evaluate the person for signs of any medical condition or illness. These exams help to prevent conditions from worsening and ensure that treatment can begin in the earliest stage if a condition is present.
