I always wondered who invented percussion! Now I know!

Richard Selzer had a pretty good chapter on the art of Physical Diagnosis in his book, too.

Wow. Verghese's voice is as powerful in speech as in writing.

If you liked his TedTalk and are looking for some good medically-related reading, check out his book Cutting For Stone.

I read his article today on CNN. I haven't watched the TED talk yet but it seems like it might be similar/the same material

There was a thread about this in Allopathic if anyone is interested. Or, it might have been in Clinical Rotations. A search will find it.
