this is not for a physical exam test for a specialist

do any physical exam as fast as possible, and as "superficial" as possible
- put stethoscope on 1 spot, then next spot then next, DO NOT focus to hear - your job is to PLACE the stethoscope in the approximate spots.

it is not important to do "the best PE" because you will not have time for other parts of the encounter.
