Forgive me for repeating an anecdote I think I may have posted before. On the pediatric ward of the Boston City Hospital I saw a young black girl with a heart murmur produced by a mitral stenosis so severe that the vibrations produced were sufficiently powerful that they could be felt on palpation just below her left breast.this phenomenon is called a "thrill'" Students from three medical schools were lined up to examine her, because they might never again have such an opportunity.There's a horse's ass in every large group. The line moved so slowly that one bored student put his hand in the wrong place, and said disgustedly to the guy behind him:"I don't get any thrill!"
The girl,outraged by the idea of couple hundred guys wanting to feel her breast just to get a thrill, jumped out of
bed and locked herself in the toilet. .
