Let me my give my theory of the difference in technique for physicians conducting physical exams. I believe that some of the methods and order of procedures seems dependent on how the physician was taught Physical Examination procedures in Medical school. I have observed that doctors who attended medical school North of the Mason Dixon Line seem to have different ways of doing exams than those who went to medical schools in the South or western USA.
