Doesn't sound right TH. Especially the heart auscultation. Many cardiac problems are asymptomatic until the crap hits the fan! Even a very average GP can pick up murmurs or other abnormal heart sounds and send you to a specialist. In my hospital we (the RN's) listen to the lungs, heart and bowel sounds each shift, at least. Granted, people in the hospital need more constant watch but still.

I can only assume that since you are not there for a complaint that he may not listen and will only do that on the annual physical or a complaint visit.
