Surprise stething/auscultation stories?

Anyone ever experienced surprise auscultation or a surprise stething either with a doctor or anyone else? sometimes those can be quite amazing. I've spoken a few times here already about a handful of times this happened to me personally. thinking about them still makes my heart start pounding in excitement xD

One time when I was in high school drama club, my friends and I were getting ready to do our last rehearsal before a performance that evening, and we were digging around in our director’s prop closet for fun. Someone found a stethoscope and we all took turns using it. 🫣 BIG surprise stething experience. Part of me was mortified as a cardiophile - but the rest of me was lapping up being stethed and getting to steth my friends. The guy I had a huge crush on listened to my heart and I could have fainted right then and there. (Would have been the second time I’d fainting in the theatre classroom though… 😂)

If this had happened in reality, I would have been over the moon with joy😍

You have to tell us about the first time you fainted please!!!!

I have posted elsewhere on here that one of my most memorable physical exams was a total surprise because I had been along for the ride for my younger brother's physical so that we could go shopping for school clothes afterward and I ended up getting a physical too. But the other time there was specifically a surprise stethoscope was at school. Every year, like a lot of you if you grew up in the US, we all had to the Presidential Physical Fitness tests, which were mostly done in gym class but a few were after school. And every year they were pretty much the same. Except in 9th grade you also had to have vitals taken before and during exercise and they had some people come in to do that part. It was a total surprise.

@Igotamullet20 I donated blood in high school, and apparently didn’t drink enough water or rest long enough. Because when I tried to go back to my theatre class when I was done, I ended up passing out shortly after arriving. Unfortunately didn’t get stethed that day - though they did check my blood pressure. 🤣

I was at my driver’s license exam. I entered the room and sit. Doctor first asked me some questions and I taught that he is gona check my weight and height and that we are gonna finish, but he grab blood pressure cuff and put it on table. My heart started racing in that moment. “Pull your right sleeve I want to take your blood pressure”. I felt that my heart is going crazy inside my chest and I knew that doc will hear that in just few seconds. I pull my sleev and he put stethoscope’s head on my arm and pump the cuff. After approximately 30 seconds he said “Why is your heart beating this fast? Your blood pressure is high too..” I was really ashamed and didn’t know what to say.. I said “You know sometimes I got little nervous at doctor, my heart is fine”.. I taught that he is gonna write that down and tell me to leave and go to next exam room but that was just the beginning. “Take off your shirt, your heart is beating so fast, I want to take a listen”. My heart started to pump even faster, I felt it in my chest and throat. I did as he said, I took of my shirt and he put the stethoscope’s head on my chest. In the middle, on tricuspid valve. My heart was about to explode in that moment. I was afraid that my heart is gonna skip some beats but fortunately wasnt. He was listening and looking his watch. He counted beats. It was about 15-20 seconds but for me it was like eternity. “Tachycardia. You have strong tachycardia. You know what tachycardia is” I said “Yes, irregularly fast heartbeat”. We were talking a bit more about my heart and my heartbeat in general. I told him that I don’t have tachycardia and that my heart is beating normaly but sometimes at doctors office I got nervous but he didn’t take me seriously and suggested me to go to cardiologist. I didn’t 😅. So that is my unexpected auscultation. I asked my friend who was with me that day and he just got blood pressure measured, his bp was good, and heart wasn’t racing as mine so he, like everyone, wasn’t auscultated that day. I was the only one to get heart listened, so it really was unexpected…
