The '''physical exam''' was an ancient method of diagnosing illness and essentially was a stall tactic until Radiology as a field came to be. The '''physical exam''' has rarely been used over the past decade. Though many medical providers are spotted wearing a [[Stethoscope|stethoscope]], which is a tool often used during the '''physical exam''', most people actually wear it for both decorative purposes and as a tribute.
'''Death of the Physical Exam'''

On August 14, 2016, the '''physical exam''' passed away after its decade-long battle with obscurity.<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2016/09/ama-holds-funeral-service-for-physical-exam/ AMA Holds Funeral Service for Physical Exam]</ref> This was a relief to many health care providers - nurses and doctors alike - who wanted to see the '''physical exam''' stop its needless suffering and pass away in peace, which it did; one week prior to its passing, the '''physical exam''' was made DNR. On September 14, 2016, the American Medical Association held a large funeral service for the '''physical exam'''. A moving tribute was planned in which multiple health care providers would demonstrate aspects of the '''physical exam''', however, no one could remember any maneuvers.
