Transillumination of the sinuses? shifting dullness? the puddle sign? In this episode we poke fun and debunk our favourite "useless" physical exam manoeuvres that we continue to teach our medical students.  We couldn't cover all of them in one go, so stay tuned for more... Try the app DxLogic on the iPhone to have a quick reference to the utility of many studied history features and physical exam manoeuvres. Also, check out JAMA's series of articles entitled "The Rational Clinical Exam".

We cannot put this off any longer.  IMreasoning has reached the end of its road.  We had a great 5 years.  We both learned so much, about medicine, about cognition, about the art of teaching, about each other, and about ourselves. Thank you once again to all of you, our listeners, for sticking with us.  Thank you especially to those who got in touch, and gave us encouragement to continue this project over the past 5 years. Thank you as well to all of you who appeared and participated in the podcast, to present stump the chumps cases, or to share your expertise in conversation with us. A special thank you to Steve and Madi who navigated the tech and the socials for us in the final leg of this adventure.  We couldn't have done this without you.

Our final episode

Join us for another instalment of Stump the Chumps. This time our case comes from Baylor University presented by Alec Rezigh, a friend of the podcast. Enjoy!
