Not even one bullet
"Ear, Nose and throat are grossly patent."
In my book, this doesn't fall ANYWHERE on the 1997 guidlines.
* External inspection of ears and nose (e.g. overall appearance, scars, lesions, masses)
* Otoscopic examination of external auditory canals and tympanic membranes
* Assessment of hearing (e.g. whispered voice, finger rub, tuning fork)
* Inspection of nasal mucosa, septum and turbinates
* Inspection of lips, teeth and gums
* Examination of oropharynx: oral mucosa, salivary glands, hard and soft palates, tongue, tonsils and posterior pharynx
For 1995 guidelines I'd give you one system (ENMT). For 1997 I would not give any credit at all.
Just my opinion,
