| Re: Ankle & Neck Physical Exam.
He sounds like a good thorough doctor actually. He's checking your neck to evaluate your lymph nodes, thyroid gland and the blood vessels of the neck including the vertebral and carotid arteries.
Reagrding the ankle, as AXE said, he was looking for any swelling (edema), but he was also checking the pulse there for any arterial/vascular or venous insufficiency (basically to evaluate if there are any circulation problems).
