the joys of owning a stethoscope
your random fact for the day: 'borborygmi' is a legitimate medical term, describing abnormal bowel sounds in the initial stages of acute obstruction.
tomorrow i learn how to do abdominal exam. reading about normal bowel sounds and auscultation of the liver, i pull out my stethoscope to listen to my own tummy.
conclusions: i cannot find my liver. my insides make funny noises. no borborygmi noted.
kitty was on the bed with me, so i swung the stethoscope over to her. i wanted to try listening to kitty's heart and tummy, to see if i could.
epic fail
too much purr.
