- Abstract
General Physical Examination skills are gradually fading away from clinical practice, ever since the advent of technological advancements. Bedside learning is shifting to classrooms, increasing the reliance on diagnostic reports and decreasing the quality of personalised medical care. An efficient clinical examination is essential in all medicos, from medical students to practising doctors to avoid missed or delayed diagnosis or treatment. Here, we present the case of a patient of pilonidal sinus in whom a large hairy mole was initially missed due to omission of proper GPE.
