In a widespread survey of medical students, researchers were surprised to find medical students are still unsure of what causes clubbing. The responses ranged from \u201cummm\u201d to \u201cnot really sure\u201d to \u201cwhat system is this part of?\u201d<\/p>\n

When our team talked to a few third year medical students they answered, \u201cLook, no-one really knows but it sounds pretty slick when we say \u2018Schamroth\u2019s window is present\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

One sixth year said they get their patients to make hearts with their fingers when testing for clubbing. \u201cMakes it a little bit snazzy, little bit different. Really helps build patient rapport as well because it\u2019s symbolic of how much I care for them. All about that patient-doctor relationship you know.\u201d<\/p>\n

Upon questioning OSCE examiners The Jugular <\/em>was only able to get a nod from them. When asked to provide more detailed feedback, they mysteriously disappeared.<\/p>\n

Consultants in the hospital suggested, \u201cThey spend so much time looking for clubbing, they don\u2019t have time to listen to the heart.\u201d<\/p>\n
