For me, the bolded part is the most important; I can't see what's going on when he's poking around down there, and it makes it so much easier when he narrates what he's doing before and as he's doing it, and why it's necessary. This is, by the way, a quality I think is comforting in any doctor, regardless of where they're poking around.
