Get to know your fellow cardionubs

Diff · 2017-12-21 04:46:05

Did something like this with my gf earlier and thought it'd be fun to get to know you guys the same way.

Basically how this is going to work is you answer the number above you, then leave a number for the next person.

1. Favorite type of heartbeat?
2. Do you have a heart condition?
3. Favorite spot to listen on yourself?
4. Favorite spot to listen on someone else?
5. Ear stething or stethoscope?
6. Have you ever been to a cardiologist?
7. What kind of heart exams have you had?
8. Ever been stethed by someone?
9. Do you like to feel your heart beat?
10. Ever feel someone else’s heart?
11. Favorite pulse point?
12. How many people have you told?
13. How many stethopes do you own?
14. Do you wish you could have a certain kind of heart exam?
15. What color is your steth?
16. Favorite procedure to watch?
17. Does your cardiophilia have a dark side?

18. How old were you when you discovered your interest?
19. Do you prefer to listen or be listened to?
20. Do you prefer fast or slow beats?
21. Have you ever had a meetup?
23. Do you have a visible heartbeat?
24. What age did you buy your first stethoscope?
27. Have you ever listened to a non-cardiophile?
29. Do you like snappy valve sounds or deep bassy beat sounds?
30. Do you get nervous when being listened to?
31. Do you like to make your heart do things?

32. Have you ever listened to another person?
33. What's your favorite thing about the heart?
34. If you could have a different heartbeat for a day, what would you pick if anything? (source)

First chunk is taken from this Tumblr post.
Second chunk is from Dopescope's version of the topic over on HBP.
Third chunk is third chunk.

First person, your number is 1.

1. Steady and slow.

Next! Might as well go down the line. You've got number 2.

No, sort of. Apparently I had some sort of heart thing when I was born since I was a few weeks premature but that cleared up pretty fast.

4

Wherever is best and loudest. It’s different on each person.

7

SymphonyOfBass · 2017-12-21 14:11:18

none. had a heart monitor on in the hospital a few times if that counts

11

Diff · 2017-12-22 03:19:05

probably just anywhere at all in the neck area. Seems easiest to feel it there.

11 as well

monkey · 2017-12-22 04:03:08

Favorite pulse point: Either carotid or apical.

7. And I'll answer that one myself as well. I've been listened to plenty of times, but I've had EKGs, a 30-day monitor and a stress echocardiogram (which is a lot less fun than it sounds)

heartbro95 · 2017-12-22 08:30:36

I've had routine ECGs done as part of university physicals but that's about it.

For the next person, question 12.

SymphonyOfBass · 2017-12-22 17:07:19

just one. but apparently he kinda already knew. guess I'm not as sneaky as I thought

13

hbeats_rok1990 · 2017-12-23 11:49:03

I own 2, a Sprague Rappaport and a Littmann Cardiology IV.
15

monkey · 2017-12-23 20:44:05

Navy blue.

14. Nobody's done that one yet.

Diff · 2017-12-24 02:58:41

Idk I'm a little self conscious that my heart's out of shape so I'd probably do whatever type of exam I'd need to make sure everything's working as intended.

How about 9?

shyboy1123 · 2017-12-24 15:40:33

9. Not really. I would rather share than listen alone.

6 for the next.

SymphonyOfBass · 2017-12-26 04:53:20

cant answer this one so skip me but where can I find out about different spots?

Google cardiac listening locations. You should get plenty of results that way.

3. Apex/mitral, because I have a murmur there.

5 for the next person.

Happy to do #5.
I like both for different reasons. I like ear stething for the closeness and intimacy. A woman's cleavage is quite obviously designed to cradle the heads of friends, lovers, and small children where they can hear those beautiful lub-dup sounds. I like the stethoscope because of the need for the patient's chest to be fully exposed (all patients being female), the need to move the twins around a little to get to all of the auscultation points (especially the mitral valve, the ability to zero in on each valve, having the sound amplified and channeled to both ears with extraneous sound shut out, and the ability to make eye contact with the patient and watch her facial expressions as her heart talks to me.

Next person, question #8

monkey · 2017-12-27 17:15:01

8. Excluding medical professionals... no.

12, next

Jundar90 · 2017-12-28 22:34:25
