dude, he is hot. I want to touch his chest so bad...

just to add. for the benefit of others. RILE--> right sided murmurs are best heard at inspiration and left sided best at expiration. in auscultation always do AR last so that you dont get the patient forwards and back every 2 seconds. also as well as checking lung bases, peripheral pulses,. you should do a quick check for AAA, hepatomegaly, renal bruits.

peace
