Auscultation, Stethoscopes, and Heartbeats

On line only one thing is important : THE SOUND

and it s not so difficult

Toubibnantes is completely right:

I absolutely agree with Amaral

One of the first thing teaches to medical students is :

HEARTH AND LUNG EXAMS HAVE TO BE DONE BARE CHEST i.e. without ANY clothe waist up

in fact all the manuals and educational videos, all medicine teachers will say the same thing: never listen through clothes or gowns , also it's important to perform the exam in a quiet room so the quality of listening is the higher possible

Steth directly on the skin, always better sound of course

and if you a bit shy sometimes for it, there s no worries : i only request sound, with me webcam is not necessary.

but your sound have to be good enough to practice a serious exam.

If for just "beats noise" i have enough already :-)

As far as being totally essential to diagnosis auscultation is pretty much a thing of the 19th century. Do you think a cardiologist would stake his reputation on just a stethoscope. The famous British physician James McKenzie said the steth put medicine back 100 years! Today its doppler, echo, U/S , sophisticated radio-nuclide scans technicium etc. Lest you think me a neo-Luddite there is a new stethoscope coming out next year based on cell phone technology - with it anyone can scan 300 patients in an afternoon. More on this after I've acquired one

Definitely an integral part of any exam , whether actual or role playing

For me the stethoscope exam is a major integral part of what i love about going to the doctor's and getting examined.

N my opinion there is no pornography in them. Medical examination without a bra is normal. Medical examination of the bra is not normal. Such images that young people should be emphasized. It can not be like this: A young girl who is ashamed 16 years before a doctor to remove a bra. It is not normal. They should be taught. Come to a doctor and pulls bra. Shame take off bra, before a doctor's stupidity.

I have an interesting story to go along with this. I just went for a physical about a week ago, with a new doctor, a female for once. I remember my heart speeding up as she placed the stethoscope on my bare chest, but she said everything sounded good. I only wish she kept the steth on longer than 15 seconds 😢

😄 I love a good thorough physical both giving and recieving so of course that includes slow and careful auscultation so as to not miss any potential problems;-)

I'm not so much into heartbeats as in stethoscope...being examened with steth by a female doctor is my HUGE fetish... 😃 but it's disapointing when doctor is male,or when they listen for few sec...

Position change is good...my fantasy is to have my heart listened to while standing, sitting, then laying down...at least...I'm open to other ideas as well.

I love auscultation. I've had a few role play medicals where the Dr has spent at least 30 minutes on stethoscope work...wonderful!

Auscultation is the best part of an exam for me! Its not done properly if I don't have to take off my shirt and feel the cold stethoscope on my chest. I love being told to take deep breaths as the doctor spends several minutes assessing my heart and lungs

At my last physical, i was so excited about it that my heart was racing. The stethoscope was pulsing up and down with each beat especially over the apex and mitral areas on my chest and the doctor thought something was wrong!

My fantasy is to have my heart listened to while standing, sitting,

Carita:

other real clinical ideas? SQUATTING that augments murmurs of aortic regurgitation, aortic stenosis, mitral valve prolapse, and mitral regurgitation and diastolic murmur of mitral stenosis.

LEFT LATERAL POSITION(lying doen and rolled to your left side) that brings the heart "more close" to the chest wall and allows abetter search for mitral stenosis murmur for insntance.

SITTING AND LEANING FORWARD for listen of aortic and pulmonic diastolic murmurs or pericardial friction rub.

LEANING EVEN MORE FOWARD ( STANDING AND LEANING FOR INSTANCE WITH HANDS ON THE BACK OF A CHAIR OR EXAM TABLE) for listening of pericardial friction rub.

I find nothing sexier than seeing a Female doctor putting on her stethoscope , ready to listen , makes my heart beat faster just thinking about it

It's so intimate, to the very core of being alive, so of course it is a huge turn on!

100 % agree DreZik

Love it !! Plain and simple.... ;-)

To put it plainly, it's all great.

Specifically, it's more fun to listen to/be listened to with someone of the opposite who shares the same interest. If they're willing to play along, that's cool too.

During an actual medical exam, it's not as fun.

Hearing my patient's heart beating is for me one of the most intimate parts of the examination. It is time when unsuspected secrets of the patient's body might be revealed.

Nothing better than the ausculatation part of the exam, especially with a willing female.

For me it is very important part of exam. So I often ask a doctor to check my heart throughfully. I had asthme when I was a child so a doctor checks my lungs very attentively every time. Always I tell to a doctor about my heart beating irregularly some time (that is not truth because my heart is very healthy). After that a doctor begins listen to my heart very close stopping in every spot a long time. I enjoy very much feeling cold stethoscope over my heart.

Once during sperma sample test I beg a docotr to listen to my heart when I had precum cummed on. it was a great cumming and I gave big amount of a sample. It was only once when the urologist listened to my heart.

I dream to have many doctors listening to my heart in the same time. Would like feel two, three or more stethoscopes over my naked chest knowing that several persons listen attentively to my beating heart.

That's a big part of what appeals about it to me too. You know when they're listening to your heart they're only listening to you, you are the focus of their attention and they're paying attention to something very intimate. That's why its so erotic.

That's usually the reason I willingly go to the doctor. Although my regular doctor always disappoints me when he auscultates me. For 1, he's a guy and I prefer girls. He usually listens to my heart for like 10 seconds and then maybe 4 or 5 deep breaths, and I always have all my clothes on.

My best steth experience by far was by a female doctor (My guess, in her early 30s) when I was about 13 years old. I went in for abdominal pain. She had me lay down and listened to my bare stomach for a minute or 2 in various areas. Then she had me sit up and asked me to take deep breaths and she listened ALL OVER my chest and back. This went on for, my guess, around 3 minutes. I was breathing as deeply as slowly as I could to make it last longer. I was wearing all my clothes, but she had the stethoscope lifted under my shirt the whole time. The part that really ruined it for me was my dad was in the room watching.

Like others, having my chest auscultated is the most important part of the exam. I like taking slow deep breaths in and exhaling my breath out of my mouth as the doctor listens. I also like it when doctors percuss my chest and back, usually before they auscultate my heart.

I like being longly auscultated, in particular in my childhood. I remember an experience when I was more ore less 10 years old and my mother brought me to a female pediatrician in the place we were on holiday because I had stomachache. Probably because it was the first time she looked at me, before examining my tummy she asked me to remove everything except for my white briefs and performed a very long and careful lung and heart auscultation in every position and then, after asking me to remove briefs, again a long abdominal exam (palpation, percussion, auscultation, careful genital exam): all the examination took at least half an.hour, very thorough, and probably because unexpected, it made my heart run a lot...

I love a long thorough exam with a stethoscope.

Very few other forms of intimacy can rival that which is engendered by listening to someone's heart pumping blood throughout their body. That organ is keeping them alive. It's absolutely beautiful.
