The exam in psych is very different than the exam in neuro - which is odd, given that the mind is so close to the brain topologically. In neuro, we periodically unload an entire 80-point exam to tease out some sort of minor sensory impairment. In psych, if we want to do something that requires a stethoscope, a special medicine doctor who rounds separately takes care of that.
A constant between the two exams is the Folstein Mini-Mental Status. There are a number of things I would like to do to freak out the medical student as a patient. This would be one of them. The best part, even if I drew exactly that, I'd only lose a single point.
