What was the purpose of the medical check-up the Oracle performed on Neo?

When Neo goes to the Oracle for the first time, she performs a sort of medical check-up on him...

Oracle: Well, let's have a look at you... Open your mouth. Say, 'ahhh.'

She checks his throat, his ears, and do some kind of hand reading...

Was it just an acting, trying to mess with Neo's mind, like telling him he was not the One? Or did it really had any meaning, programatically speaking?
