Are Physicals Worthwhile?

We have a new debate - are physicals worthwhile? According to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), they aren't. Many doctors say they are. I also think they are. They have a different feel from a "sick visit," and are one of the times that most patients are comfortable asking a doctor questions of a general nature. National Public Radio's story on this is located here, and includes a link to the audio story:
