Unfortunately: most doctors no longer have the time alloted to them to do a proper physical. Though many doctors believe that looking at these parts of the body is very "low yield" for finding actual disease or pathology, it is necessary to give the doctor the best chance of spotting something unusual at a later time, and to be familiar with the patient's body. It also makes the patient feels "cared for".
