They are written by practicing physicians/medical school professors and give you the boiled down, high-yield info you absolutely need to know. The respiratory physiology we’ve spent 14 lecture hours and ~150 slides on was condensed to 9 pages total including pictures and graphs.

Last night my friend Krystal and I played open mic night up at DeChamps. Our 80s, 90s, 00s medley had a bar full of drunk med students singing along. Pretty good time. Here’s a recording of it from rehearsal.

Bryan Adams - Summer of 69 
The Outfield - I Don’t Wanna Lose…
Journey - Summer of 69
Third Eye Blind - Semi-Charmed Life
Backstreet Boys - I Want It That Way
DMB - Crash Into Me
Kings of Leon - Use Somebody

Beat – Heartsounds
[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

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.
