Cool Steth Auscultation Experiences?

Hello everyone

I just found this website hours ago, and I gotta say, I'm a little suprised at how many people have a stethoscope fetish much like myself! I thought I would never be able to connect with others that have the same interest. But anyway, I do enjoy giving exams but enjoy recieving them more. Bare skin, front, back, or laying down. And unfortunately, my regular doctor is a male (I prefer female), and he never gives long or bare skin exams. I do recall a few years back (I believe I was 13), I went to a different doctor for abdominal pain, and I recieved the longest and most thorough exam of my heart and lungs from a female doctor to date. (I believed it lasted almost 3 minutes). I had all my clothes on, but she lifted under my shirt to listen.

Anyway, enough about me. I was wanting to hear more cool auscultation stories. I've already read quite a few, but I'd like to hear a bit more detail. My favorite thing to see in auscultating is a pretty rare occurence. When a doctor places the stethoscope on one location and listens in that location for a full minute or longer. I love when they ask to breathe deep a large number of times as well.

I'm very interested and look forward hearing your stories.

Thanks

Thank you very much! 😃

In my place their is is an old dermatologistand his name is dr paul.in his consultation room everybody can see the patient getting examined.so one day a girl was having some skin problem i think.during the exam she was asked to take her clothes of except her bra and underware.heexamined her for a long time with stethoscope and checked her skin by using a torch.she was so embarrased to stand in her brassiers before this many people.but the thing is the prescribed medicines of that doctor are so good that they are sacrificing their modesty for getting cured fast.

I've discovered murmurs in several guy's I've stethed. I'm not a doctor.

I've heard serious murmurs in guys who knew that they had murmurs.

I listened to a partner right after he ran a marathon. That was amazing.

I've heard guys on HR-regulating meds. The rythm was subtly strange.

I heard a guy who had an arythmia addressed by electroshock so his heart has only two speeds.

When I have a steth session I like do a couple of demos.

The venous valve demo is cool if you have a vascular partner. You can manipulate the surface vessels to show how the valves keep blood from flowing away from the heart.

The muscle engine demo just involves listening with a scope to a flexed muscle, preferably large. The action of the actin and myosin fibers is audible as a roaring sound.

If you close your mouth and lean side to side you can hear the air going from one lung to the other.

Unfortunately i have not a great stething experience to write about. My problem is actually that no doctor want to use their stethoscope on me. I have not got a steth exam in many years. Maybe it is because i dont like to be examined, so i dont go if i dont have a real problem.

but i thought this tread should get some intention, so i brought it ti the surface.
