Physical examination
Hi, I wanted to let you know that I removed the section on the steps for a physical exam. There are a few reasons for this:


 * The first is that since this is a lot of content - at least a full page worth of material - it's really difficult to justify this under Wikipedia's fair use guidelines. These are admittedly more strict than they would be elsewhere, but there are a lot of reasons for that. The page on fair use goes over this to some degree, as to the reasons why.
 * I can't help but feel that this could be summarized in your own words to be honest.


 * Another reason is that this is so detailed that it falls within the "not how to" guideline of Wikipedia, notably that it's not meant to be a how to guide. Essentially just listing the steps makes this a guide rather than an encyclopedia article and runs the risk of it not really explaining the steps.

I think it would be best to summarize this in your own words in prose format rather than making it a big list like this, to be honest. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:48, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
