Dear friends, in FirstAid & some of the clinical videos, they do Auscultation first, followed by Percusion & palpation... But in Clinical manuals ( Hutchison's), the order is Insp, Palpa, Percus and Auscul. Which is correct ..?

Not specific for Abdomen. Even in CVS/RS examination, after Ispection they do Auscul , followed by percusion..! But in our clinical practice, the order is Isp, Palp, Percu & Auscul at the last! Agree.?
