The statement is false because while evidence can indeed be gathered during a medical examination, it is not a common occurrence in all types of examinations. Medical examinations are often focused on assessing a patient's health, diagnosing conditions, and determining treatment plans rather than serving as a means of collecting evidence. Evidence refers to specific data or findings that can be used in legal or investigative contexts, and this is not the primary purpose of most medical examinations.

In certain situations, like sexual assault cases or injury assessments related to crimes, medical examinations may lead to the discovery of evidence. However, in routine check-ups or examinations for non-urgent medical conditions, the focus is typically on the patient's health status rather than evidence collection. This distinction clarifies why the correct answer is that it is false that it is very common for evidence to be discovered during a medical examination.
