Thank you so much for putting this up! The quicktime version they have up on the medinfo site does NOT work at all.

How about the patient is the doctor and the doctor is the patient. We want to see that doctor getting examined, not the big black guy. We aren't gay homos.

[DrTropix]

A thrill is simply a palpable murmur. If you can only hear it but not feel it, it is simply a murmur, but if you can also feel it with your hand, it is called a thrill.

Thrills are caused by anything that can cause a murmur, and the causes of murmurs are varied, and found in any textbook of physical diagnosis, internal medicine, or cardiology--they include valvular disease, or a number of congenital or acquired deformities.

In a pinch, just google it. Wikipedia isn't a bad idea either.

[DrTropix]

It's called palpating the apical pulse. It localizes the point of maximal impulse to determines whether it has moved from the normal position.
