AB One  of  the  single  greatest  challenges  in  performing  the  neurologic  examination  for  the  practicing  neurohospitalist  is  simply  recognizing  that  it  is  being  performed.  In  a  study  of  new  interns  evaluating  patients  with  altered  mental  status,  only  41%  reported  performing  a  neurologic  examination.  However,  unless  one  plans  to  neither  see  one’s  patient,  nor  listen  to  one’s  patient,  nor  touch  one’s  patient,  it  is  impossible  to  not  perform  at  least  some  of  the  neurologic  examination.  The  neurologic  examination  begins  the  moment  the  neurohospitalist  lays  eyes  on  the  patient  and  listens  as  the  patient  attempts  to  speak.1-3
