We spend a trillion dollars a year on high-tech tests, and yet, almost 20% of patients are misdiagnosed. This documentary reintroduces the oldest diagnostic method - listening to the patient - by following two leading cardiologists, Dr. Valentin Fuster and Dr. Herschel Sklaroff, over a one-month period, as they care for critically-ill heart patients in the Cardiac Care Unit at Mount Sinai Hospital. We accompany Fuster and Sklaroff as they teach future doctors the traditional art and science of a thorough bedside physical exam. "A great many diseases may be diagnosed," they tell us, "just by looking at a patient's hand".
