The doctor will grab your t******e and tell you to turn your head and cough.

I also had to strip down to my boxers and duck walk across the room to check my spine for my physical to get into the army.  I even got a finger in the butt.  Every doctor is different I guess.

Answer 12

Generally, this is done by a family practice doctor.

As far as a list of things they do, they take you're vitals, temp, check you're reflexes. And for a full exam, they may need to check out you're private areas.

Answer 13

When a neurologic disorder is suspected, doctors usually evaluate all of the body systems during the physical examination, but they focus on the nervous system. They do a neurologic examination, which includes evaluation of mental status, cranial nerves, motor and sensory nerves, reflexes, coordination, balance, walking (gait), regulation of internal body processes (by the autonomic nervous system), and blood flow to the brain. Doctors may evaluate some areas more thoroughly than others depending on what type of disorder they suspect.

Neurologic symptoms—symptoms caused by a disorder that affects part or all of the nervous system—can vary greatly because the nervous system controls so many different body functions. Symptoms can include all forms of pain, including headache and back pain. Muscles, skin sensation, the special senses (vision, taste, smell, and hearing), and other senses depend on nerves to function normally. Thus, neurologic symptoms can include muscle weakness or incoordination, abnormal sensations in the skin, and disturbances of the senses.

Neurologic disorders can interfere with sleep, making a person anxious or excited at bedtime and thus lethargic and sleepy during the day.

Neurologic symptoms may be minor (such as a foot that has fallen asleep) or life threatening (such as coma due to stroke). The characteristics and pattern of symptoms help doctors diagnose the neurologic disorder. The following are some relatively common neurologic symptoms:

Pain

    *

      Seizures

    *

      Coma

    *

      Stupor

Changes in cognition (mental ability)

    *

      Difficulty understanding language or using language to speak or write (aphasia)

    *

      Poor memory

    *

      Difficulty performing common motor skills, such as striking a match or combing one's hair, despite normal strength (apraxia)

    *

      Inability to recognize familiar objects (agnosia)

    *

      Inability to sustain concentration when performing a task

    *

      Inability to distinguish right from left

    *

      Inability to perform simple arithmetic (acalculia)

    *

      Poor visual-spatial comprehension (for example, inability to draw a clock; becoming lost driving in a familiar neighborhood)

    *

      Dementia (dysfunction of multiple cognitive functions)

Mental Status: Doctors evaluate the following:

    *

      Attention

    *

      Orientation to time, place, and person

    *

      Memory

    *

      Various abilities, such as thinking abstractly, following commands, using language, and solving math problems

    *

      Mood

The evaluation consists of a series of questions and tasks, such as naming objects, recalling short lists, writing sentences, and copying shapes. The person's answers are recorded and scored for accuracy. If the person reports feeling depressed, doctors ask if there have been any thoughts of suicide.



Mental Status Testing

What People May Be Asked To Do



What This Test Indicates

State the current date and place, and name specific people



Orientation to time, place, and person

Repeat a short list of objects



Attention

Recall the short list of objects after 3 to 5 minutes



Immediate recall

Describe an event that happened in the last day or two



Recent memory

Describe events from the distant past



Remote memory

Interpret a proverb (such as “a rolling stone gathers no moss”), or explain a particular analogy (such as “why the brain is like a computer”)



Abstract thinking

Describe feelings and opinions about the illness



Insight into illness

Name the last five presidents and the state capital



Fund of knowledge

Tell how they feel on this day and how they usually feel



Mood

Follow a simple command that involves three different body parts and requires distinguishing right from left (such as “put your right thumb in your left ear and stick out your tongue”)



Language comprehension

Name simple objects and body parts, and read, write, and repeat certain phrases



Ability to use language

Without looking, identify small objects held in the hand and numbers written on the palm, and discriminate between being touched in one or two places



Ability of the brain to process and interpret complex sensory information from the hand

Copy simple and complex structures (for example, using building blocks) or finger positions, and draw a clock, cube, or house



Ability to understand spatial relationships

Brush the teeth or take a match out of a box and strike it



Ability to perform an action

Do simple arithmetic



Ability to calculate numbers
