• Comment - The article, so far, provides no evidence that "Executive Physicals" are notable in some way, or even that there really is such a thing. A Google search, though, indicates many hits for the topic, and I think a small but legitimate article may be a possibility. Tim Ross (talk) 18:40, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
• A merge could be appropriate, into the main page on Physicals if we have one. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 18:53, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

• Merge to Physical examination. It's just an expensive form of a regular physical, with a pre-set menu of tests. The "executive" notion appears because (1) it's inappropriately expensive, since most of the tests aren't medically necessary for any given individual, and (2) typically all scheduled efficiently on the same day (or multiple consecutive days, in some of the more extreme forms), so you're only out of the office once, instead of making multiple appointments. They are highly profitable operations, and most US hospitals and larger clinics offer this program.
