[The uneven history of clinical examination].
Clinical examination was developed by Hippocrates to understand diseases and patients. This approach was later almost abandoned in the Middle Age before a revival and a period of flowering at the beginning of the XIXth century. The multiplication of other new means of examination again provoked its decline, which has presently stopped, allowing a better balance of clinical practice.
