Her murmur was unusual-- and as she matured, she came to hate doctors, since every year, a new crop of them would be called in to listen to her murmur.. it was a very rare sort of murmur.. and from her discription, it seems most 99.9% of the doctors were more interested in her murmur than the external anatomy of her chest-- but she was non to thrilled to have doctor after doctor be excited about examining her. my other obsession Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Beating one's chest #29587 06/13/2001 5:25 PM Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 13,858 wwh Carpal Tunnel wwh Carpal Tunnel Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 13,858 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. .
