Who wants to listen to heart sounds?!
Starting out in medical school a lot of what you learn is just building the necessary knowledge base for when you get to the “good stuff” i.e. pathologies. Luckily, some stuff is cool already: like heart sounds. I made this mp3 of the various heart sounds from our cardiac physiology lecture yesterday to practice telling them apart on the fly. I only listed a few of the potential causes for each.
0:00-0:05 = S1-S2 Heart Sounds
Normal
0:06-0:12 = Split S1
Right-heart conduction issues
Right Bundle Branch Block
0:13-0:17 = Split S2
Increased venous return
Atrial Septal Defect
0:19:-0:23 = S3Heart Sound
Aortic or Mitral Valve Regurgitation
Congestive Heart Failure
0:24-0:30 = S4 Heart Sound
Aortic Valve Stenosis
Chronic Hypertension
0:32-0:40 = Systolic Murmur
Aortic Stenosis
Mitral Regurgitation
0:41-0-52 Diastolic Murmur
Mitral Stenosis
Aortic Regurgitation
Oh and later I’m totally dissecting a human heart at 2pm. No big deal.

For the past 2 and a half months,
I have been trying to find friends here at school that can compare to my three best friends at home and my two at FDU. I did not find them yet, nor do I think I am gunna find them here. Nothing can compare to my friends at home. I look around everywhere and all i see is annoying sorority sisters and nasty girls that wouldn’t dare let you in to their clique. Besides my future cousin in law<3 i really have no interest in holding a relationship with anybody that I have met here so far. Coming here, my biggest fear was being alone. Everybody told me that would not happen. It did; my biggest fear came true. But I don’t really care. Now more than ever I focus on my dreams and my studying. I have my best friends at home and I don’t really need to many other people. I’m over it. Bring on that diploma and bring on med school because I am dangerously strong when I am alone.
