1. Now Mr Jacobs, I'd like to examine you. I just want to check one or two things: your heart and your lungs and abdomen. Would you just take off your clothes just down to your underwear and put on this gown with the opening at the back？

2. Please get on the table for me. Can you do it yourself or would you like me to help? 

3. Right, give me your wrist, will you. I'm going to take your pulse. That's fine.

4. Now let's take your blood pressure. Will you straighten your arm for me, please.

5. Now let's have a look at your eyes, look up for me, please.

6. Let me check the reflexes in your arms and legs. Relax.

7.Turn your head to the right to look at the wall. I want to check the pulse in  your neck.

8. Now let me feel your windpipe…Let me just feel your glands. That's fine.

9. Stick your tongue out for me,  please. Open your mouth and say "ahh".

10. Right, now I want to listen to your heart. Just breathe out quietly.

11. Now sit forward while I listen at the back. Hold your breath…good. Now let's listen to your lungs.Take deep breaths through your mouth—in…out…keep going.

12. I'd like to feel your abdomen. Put your arms down by your sides and let your stomach relax…that's it. Are there any places that are tender or painful? Now I want to check your liver and spleen so take a deep breath in, hold it…fine.

13. I'd just like to examine your prostate and rectum. Now this will be slightly uncomfortable, but it shouldn't hurt. Lie down on your left side and bend your knees right up to your chest…fine. I'm going to insert a finger in your rectum, don't worry, you won't lose any control.
