A doctor is conducting a final examination of a patient before discharging them from the hospital. The doctor checks the patient's vital signs, asks about any discomfort or pain, and performs various tests, including vision, hearing, and mobility tests. The patient is found to be healing well and is given instructions for aftercare, including using a cold compress and applying scar cream. The doctor also checks the patient's IV site and applies a fresh bandage. The patient is cleared for discharge and is given instructions for follow-up care.
