Loosing physical examination skills; Which has already happened in USA( Some of my patient's look at me as if I am crazy to do a physical exam for a routine visit to refill some medications.
This is because many visits to other doctor's have happened, where the doctor did not put a finger on the patient.
When I was doing my clinical rotations in Osmania medical College in the 1970s,We would have bedside teaching sessions lasting 60 to 90 minutes everyday where each student had to demonstrate and learn various physical findings.
out Principal Dr.S.R.Rao was famous for making fantastic clinical diagnosis (It is another matter that he also had a narcissistic personality)
I am noticing more and more medical colleges are opening up all over the country and the scandal of MCI and teacher's names shown in 2 and some times 3 colleges at the same time.
it is obvious there is hardly any teaching going on in theses Medical schools and most of the final year Medical students are reading the study guides to either write USMLE or to write the PG entrance exam.
if this trend continues.
We will end up with a health care system that is slower, less effective, and more expensive
a high-tech, low-touch system that fails patients along with the doctors who care for them.
