Saam diagnostic

Hi Karine, 

on a general level that is correct. 

Please consider the following: 

• Abdominal diagnosis is not a stand alone diagnostic tool. You got to reference it to the other methods (interview, palpation, tounge, pulse) to find your diagnosis and treatment. 
• There will be patients who are either very sensible and will report pain or discomfort almost everywhere when you touch them (very sensible personalities or in my experience for example cancer patients, people with psychological trauma who cannot tolerate to be touched by unfamiliar persons, also younger kids will be quite ticklish) and others who will show no painful reaction anywhere (due to age, social or professional background and so on). If you palpate a professional boxer's abdomen there will most propably very little reaction even if you press very hard during palpation. So you should take into account that for some people abdominal diagnosis will give you no reliable information. 
• Some area might be painful but have no relation to inner organs or meridian system. For example if there is trauma or injury.

Hope this helps.
