I tried to look this up, and can't find anything in google that isnt SEO spam, taken verbatim from this article, or anything on pubmed. no searches for xiphoid/liver auscultation returned anything either. I could understand how it works, theoretically, but it also seems a little suspicious and in need of clinical verification. That this doc has attached their name to it is also suspicious to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.246.196.49 ( talk) 19:28, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
We were taught that palpation and percussion were done before auscultation - why auscultate when you may inadvertantly disturb areas of tenderness? • Le on 12:02, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Sure, the references say it all. It still seems better to me to go for light palpation first since tendernesses can be assessed before the abdomen is touched in any other way - including percussion. Perhaps it's worth mentioning variations in techniques.• Le on 15:23, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
It seems like this article reads more like instructions - e.g. "one should" - does anyone mind if I tidy it up? • Le on 04:02, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Indeed; this reads like an instructional article written for physicians, which seems totally inappropriate for Wikipedia. 74.73.104.99 ( talk) 03:19, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
I am a health student at Oregon Health & Science University. I am reviewing this article according to the instructions at WP:HealthReview.
I suggest changing the article in the following ways:
explain the 9 segments of the abdomen
I think that this article could be improved by adding this statement:
link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdominal_segment#9-region_scheme
This reference supports the above statement:
no reference needed
Thank you for your attention.

Need to be like real medical practice. S start at hands, look for palmer flexia, duplitrons contracture, leukinichia, work up to the face to look at dentition, down to the abdominal examination. And the practical way in which this is done 129.180.172.246 ( talk) 00:52, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
I've attempted to make some edits to remove unsourced material.
Everything I've added is from Mosby's Guide to Physical Examination, I'm just trying to work out the parts that are (to me) rather superfluous.
I left in the pain medications and the renal arteries and bruits. The former because I don't have the resources to check now, the later because I think it's true and will need to think about it.
I'll admit, I could be wrong about my corrections, but I think I had good reason for the most part. I look forward to discussion.
