But,they have trampled over a large measure of our professional ethos and style. In your own specialty, do the new folks coming out know what an 'opening snap' is, let alone be able to auscultate it?Michael Kirsch, M.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07555280388086931097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18943510.post-7512930627625072632009-12-01T08:45:13.962-06:002009-12-01T08:45:13.962-06:00Michael-
