LHi Zhuk, Uncommon? Sure, it is here in England. I was thinking more basic observations, like BP, pulse, look in eyes, ears, reflexes, that kind of thing. Basic observations. My GP sent me to a nutritionist because I was losing so much weight and asking him about 'good' fats. Unfortunately, nutritionist wasn't at all friendly towards me and looked at me like he had a bad smell under his nose & Couln't wait to get me out of his space. Reluctantly told me to 'eat more'. Waste of time. I have visted medical centers abroad myself & with others over the years. They do basic obs. Even when you go in with a bad cold or tunny upset, including urine sample to check for any infection, before you see the Dr., makes sense to me. You know? LG
