Auscultation, anyone?

Heard my first real, live crackles today. Was really awesome. Was my first time working with Dr. M, who is actually a really good teacher. When looking at labs, etc, he'll essentially just start saying out loud everything he is thinking, which helps me learn how to interpret them and such. Same with x-rays, and he explains things very well.

Did you know the BNP test is only like 5 years old? Before that, apparently there was no real way (besides clinical aptitude) to distinguish between pneumonia infiltrate and CHF edema in the lungs...

I really suck at making up title's for blog posts...
