For anyone who's watching this and was remembering the Step 1 diagrams thinking "why don't you also test the middle finger and thumb for median nerve?", I asked my ortho friend (anatomy nerd) and she said for hand sensation all you need to test is:
-dorsal/web space of thumb (radial nerve)
-radial border of index finger (median nerve)
-ulnar border of pinky (ulnar nerve)

Reason being that things like volar middle finger could have innervation from ulnar in some folks, etc.

Sorry, wasn't being contradictory, radial or volar tip of index finger for median nerve
