Scratch test for organomegaly. First do a "control". Won't hear scratching until very close to scope. Next put scope over organ (eg, spleen). Now you'll hear scratching when you reach edge of the organ (much farther from scope vs control). The organ "carries" the sound to scope.

Or get an ultrasound

Lots of reasons to examine before imaging, Janet, not to mention the fact that not every clinician in the world has access to an ultrasound machine.

As a doctor In acountry where you rely mostly on your clinical abilities rather than inmediately taking US/XRAY/CT, I do find this useful. As a pulmonology resident, we get used to exploring since day 1, based on the same fact we may (or may not) have an image soon, so THANKS!

@HaryaxPathak Pretty useful. Nearly 20 years ago, I picked up splenomegaly in a patient with diffuse systemic sclerosis and anaemia in the exam (using this) and stumped the examiners who had missed it. Very useful in not missing soft liver or spleen, when your life depends on it.

Isn't this ticklish and uncomfortable for patient?

Rakesh I haven't found that to be the case. But easy to stop if the patient is bothered by it.

I do it every day, but I don't know about sensitivity and specificity

According to this article, the technique has 90% specificity (10% false positive rate) when evaluating the liver. Not sure about sensitivity but would guess lower.

A charity cancelled a choir because its leader believes that women do not have penises. Scope, a charity which supports disabled people, had invited a community choir to cheer on runners at the London Marathon under its banner. But just days before the marathon, Scope rescinded the invitation because the choir leader, Janet Murray, has publicly stated that she believes women are biologically female and that women should be entitled to single-sex spaces. Scope said these views conflicted with its “commitment to diversity and inclusion”. In correspondence with Janet, the charity reportedly said: “We are concerned about your views because we don’t agree with your views.” It seems Scope is more concerned about policing lawful opinions than supporting its charitable work on behalf of disabled people — many of whom rely on single-sex care and spaces themselves. Cases involving people being penalised for gender-critical beliefs remain one of the largest categories of cases handled by the Free Speech Union. Under the Equality Act, gender-critical beliefs are protected philosophical beliefs. Janet is a member of the Free Speech Union and is taking legal action against Scope alleging unlawful discrimination on the basis of her protected beliefs. If you have been discriminated against because of your belief that sex is biological and immutable, join the Free Speech Union — and we will stand up for your right to express lawful opinions.
