let me take your pulse

Taking each other's pulse, respirations and blood pressure proved to be the most exciting part of clinic today. I had only taken blood pressure once before on Amy Lou in Dr. B's office under the direction of Gail. I really had a hard time hearing the syonotic tap-tap. By the third 'patient', I had figured out a little better my equipment and where i wanted my hands and what i wanted to be paying attention to and i heard the tap-tap loud and clear. I took her blood pressure twice, just to make sure.
