Continued enthusiasm among both patients and physicians for the annual physical (also known as the periodic health examination) despite the dearth of hard evidence for its benefit raises the question of what drives its persistent appeal. Educational efforts and financial incentives that encourage screening and prevention certainly contribute, but most evidence-based screening can be done without a specific annual physician visit. Perhaps the answer lies in the less commoditized aspect of primary care — people's desire or need to establish and maintain a close, trusting relationship with the doctor they consider their personal physician (a role that may also be filled by specialists providing principal care).
