@teachmedoc: 🙊 🩺 Say "ahhh" can provoke anxiety in patients which in turn makes it so it's difficult to get a good luck in their mouth. 📝 Here are my top 3 tips to help you (the patient) help us (doctors) get a good exam: 1- relax and keep your tongue in your mouth. 2- if a tongue depressor is used, remember that it is not going to be put far back and is only used in the front part of the tongue to press it down. 3- breathe through your MOUTH. This naturally opens up the back of the throat and makes the tongue depress. If this is difficult to do then laugh or cough. Either will also allow us to get a good exam of your oral cavity. #sayahh #entdoctor #tonsilexam #physicalexam #tonguedepressor
