mbixler, I think we are referencing two different types of medical visits. Certainly, a person can schedule a physical exam as often as they like. The shift away from physically touching the patients comes with a valuable reliance upon imaging and labs rather than palpation. But the shift partially results from the 15 minute consultation in a busy world intent upon documentation.
I'm glad you are getting good care.

@gently hi, osteopathic touch discovered a tumor that could have killed me…not all osteopaths do manual manipulation, but mine specializes in it, and urged me to immediately contact my primary to set up imaging, etc. he has helped with my back pain and neck strain…. my primary is hands on and my CRC team definitely are hands on.
