"Tell me if it's painful." Ling Ran provided abdominal palpation to a patient.
Compared to technology such as B-scans, old-fashioned palpation could still provide a lot of information. It was hence still widely used in body check-ups.
Of course, X-rays, palpation, and other techniques did not share an either-or relationship. Most of the time, the doctors were the ones who chose to use those techniques.
Ling Ran now had Master Level Physical Examination Skills. His accuracy in diagnosing through performing abdominal palpation was even higher than doing a B-Scan. In that case, he did not need to hog the facilities.
The patient was lying on the examination table. He was happily looking at Ling Ran as he said, "It doesn't hurt. How can it possibly hurt?"
