disagree  Eynati: I used to think so, but it isn't ;-) It's a literalism or false friend. Hebrew doesn't really have a good word for palpable, so it uses namoshu. Confirmed by a client who is an MD. You palpate the abdomen, but not a pulse.

  -> Actually, "palpated" is the correct word to use according to professionals in the medical field whom I spoke with.
agree  Lior Bar-On: This expression is fine - I use it often. It implies an action positively taken by the examining MD rather than observation.
