Recent auscultation experience

Hi all,

I know there have been other threads out there like this, but thought it would be fun to list our latest auscultation/exam experiences.

Mine was yesterday for a physical...pulse was 64 bpm, bp was 126/82. Was naked except for paper gown on...which didn't do much to hide my large DD breasts. After the boring stuff came the stethoscope...deep breaths while he listened to my lungs, then laid down for the heart exam. Didn't palpate, but listened at mitral, tricuspid, and aortic for about a minute each. My heart was pounding...I was in heaven. Anyone else want to share?

I think you should go back and tell him that he forgot to listen to your pulmonic valve and Erb's point. The price of an office visit should include all heart valves and Erb's. I trust that the stething of your heart involving lowering the gown and moving the twins around as needed to get a good listen at all auscultation points. Wish I could have been there to offer a second opinion. I would have palpated, listened to carotids, and listened to all 4 valves plus Erb's.

Awesome posts, for some reason I cant remember my last experiance, it has been way too long

Could not agree more steth!

Unfortuately, or maybe fortunately, I don't generaly get arroused during real examinations. However, I did get mildly turned on a couple of years ago when I went to a female doctor who was not particularly young or attractive but had a very nice manner. When she put the stethoscope in her ears she just said "I'm just gong to put this here for a while". Then she gently placed the chest piece against my apex and listened for the longest time any doctor has listened to my heart. I was slightly stimulated at the time but not obvioulsy arroused, but the memory of it gets me hard as I am now writing this.

During a recent visit to hospital. Had to have my chest listened to before I was allowed out. Had my gown lowered and asked to breathe in and out deeply as he moved the stethoscope from one side of my chest to the other. The doctor then had me sit forward and he listened over my back before tapping over several areas.

Yesterday I went to visit a playdoc for a "medical check up" and the doc measured my BP with an electronic sphygmomonometer which also showed my heart rate. He seemed surprised that my readings were 113 / 65 and 58 heart rate and commented how relaxed I was bearing in mind that this was our first meet. He used a doppler and loved hearing my heart racing.
