  • Is groove really in the heart?? We live our whole lives with a metronome in our chests...to which doctors seem to love to listen. But what are they listening for?

    Big thanks to ‪@12tone‬ and ‪@AdamNeely‬ for their help.
    There's a bunch of really fascinating stuff related to rhythm that I didn't go into. I put a note in the vid about irregular heart rhythms which didn't fit with this theme, but going ever further afield and you encounter Parkinson's patients who struggle to initiate movement, but are able to dance to a rhythmic beat. Or people with severe stutters able to speak by adopting a more rhythmic flow. Humans are rhythmic beings, for whatever reason.

    Leonard Bernstein claimed that the irregular rhythm of the first motif of the first movement of Mahler's 9th symphony is a depiction of the composer's heartbeat.

    On my. What's not to love about this video? Why can I give only one like?
    First, the topic is presented with care, context and wit. Not too far down the rabbit hole, not too shallow.
    Second, the references - both to other fellow youtubers (I also follow 12tone and Adam Neely) and other less youtubers (Shakespeare anyone?).
    Third... I get to see the approach one of my favourite youtubers has towards fields of knowledge neighboring his own - this time, humanities. I really appreciated watching the cautious but referenced tiptoeing on some literary subjects. I like to see how people's thought process works. I like too see it presented for us all to contemplate. And I liked what I saw.
    But I also feel somewhat guilty for all the mini-disclaimers scattered throughout the video :D Still, I appreciate them more than a voiced-over intermission and I can understand the intent to preempt commenters from focusing on some minor detail.

    I have an interesting heart. When I was a child I was very physically active but I sucked at running. It took too much breath. Huffing and puffing, I would have to stop moving. I couldn't bike up hills, even though I practiced. And the small black outs. It was just a part of my life.
    When I was 31 I had a major left brain stroke caused by an atrial myxoma. I was left with some paralysis, but not much. Some problems with memory, but it is much better now, not nearly as good as before but I can remember important things in my life. And I lost all my spoken language and writing. I kept the reading and understanding what people say to me. But now I can speak (except real foreign words and multi-syllabic words).
    It was pretty cool. I'd talk in gibberish and throw in a few swears and then just laugh. I still talk to my cats in gibberish. Eventually, with the help from the rehab I received and my profession (I work as an artist teaching in a centre for adults with developmental disabilities) I re-learned my English so that now, I'm pretty proficient. It took about 3 year to be able to say what I was thinking. My handwriting is shit, so I prefer to type.
    My heart was opened after the stroke and the damn tumour was taken out. But, and this is just what I think, not medical at all, it healed causing some scar tissue to accidentally start a new place where heatbeats originate from (SVT). This happened once 13 years after the surgery. Freaked me out. 225 heart beats a minute for half an hour. So, I had cardiac ablation this last month. That was pretty cool. Go to see a live xray video of my lungs expanding and contacting and the zippy ties holding my breast plate together. And then the doo hickies which moved when the surgeon pulled or pushed them. I could feel the catheterization, no burning though.
    Right now my heart feels good. My mind feels fine. All I have left is my thyroid and its problems to deal with. Sigh. I should write a book of my woes.
    I live in Canada, so all of it was a done for free. Had to pay for parking though, damn.

    I want to thank you for making this point. I didn't think about it before but my kids' doctor, who regrettably passed away couple of years ago, was a perfect example of this old school. He would spend a big part of every our visit auscultating his patient and looking in his eyes and in his mouth. This and the knowledge of his patient's history would suffice in 99% of cases. My kids loved him and were never afraid when he vaccinated them. He also looked the spitting image of The BFG, which may have helped :)

    1. I was just reading the "Doctors Plague" by Nuland, and it was talking about how percussion started to be used. So it was kind of cool that you talked about it too!
    2. I never knew many young people had a third heart song.
    3. When you were talking about the gallop rhythm it made me think how when riding horses we use rhythm all the time, such as the walk is a 4 quarter notes but a lope/canter is a triplet, weirdly enough your "gallop rhythm" isn't usually how we describe a gallop.
    4. I can always feel my heartbeat especially when laying down, and I once composed a song based on that rhythm, many people heard the song, nobody ever knew.
    5. Haha I love the thing about CGP grey, it is so true. Also Tom Scott. But I watch most things at 2X speed so long pauses don't really bother me too much anymore. On the other hand my family has started to complain about the speed at the which I talk... oops.
    6. The thing about doctors always having to deal with time waisting technologies, hospital management, and unable to sit and talk, is one reason why I don't think I want to become a doctor, I sometimes think I can help people more by being a researcher.

    For those without a stethoscope, you can also imitate this by covering an ear with your palm and LIGHTLY tapping the back of your palm.

    Hi. I wrote my dissertation on music and how it affects us so deeply, mainly on psychophysiology stuff, and there is SO much I want to discuss with you. But just a couple of things:
    I've never read anything that convincingly ties heart rate with music taste but there is an argument for entrainment (your brain sort of starts synchronising with a pulse). But absolutely no to heart defects leading to syncopated music taste 😂 I also happen to be a cardiac patient and the concerts for that crowd would be a health and safety nightmare. And there's no such thing as "syncopated music" I'm afraid. Otherwise v good homework, and +10 points for including non western music. Ethnomusicology dept loved it.

I'm 30 and have a disability so work is hard for me, but you've kinda inspired me that maybe I could pursue a career in medicine in some fashion. Thank you Mr Crisis, I legit think if I ever met you I'd feel strong emotions. thanks again, love your videos sm

    As a premed, it’s wild that doctors can differentiate these sounds so well. I shadowed a primary care doctor, there was a woman with an abnormal heartbeat and the doctor picked it up quickly. When I listened, it took me so long to pick it up! I’m terrified of missing this kind of stuff when I’m a doctor one day.

    As a 2nd year medstudent, physical exam classes are my favorite. It reminds how we are inDOCtrinated 😆 into a craft that has millenia of observations behind it. It's when we were taught about clubbed fingers (hippocratisme digital) when this first hit me. Doesn't it make you feel part of a kind of brother/sisterhood or guild?

    Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to educate us. This was very interesting. Agreed, it is important to be more observant with patients. I had a doctor who spent the whole time looking at her computer, occasionally glancing at me to ask a question. I'm not sure she would recognize me since she never really looked at me.

    Love all your videos, but as a medical student who never had a grasp of heart sounds, this was invaluable. I have listened to multiple recorded & computer generated recordings of various murmurs & sounds that never really made sense to me, but trying that simple method with my stethoscope made it finally click. The fact that I can easily "practice" listening to these murmurs & sounds so that I may pick it up when I encounter a real one makes it all the better!
    Also can definitely vouch for 11:30. Would love to see more videos like this. An hour on JVP might just be enough for me to finally get it lol

    I greatly appreciate his candor in commenting on the "trend" of doctors knowing less than their forbearers. As a former tek-supporter, I am dismayed at how dumb the call-centers can be. Being a tek requires you to LISTEN to the customer(patient), to wade through the frustration(pain) to help them resolve the issue. Alas, too many times a database is consulted & relied upon for system(health) issues. WebMD is a great example of a failed database. Thank you doctor!

    My childhood GP used to check your bowels for motility and obstruction by gently pressing on the abdomen and feeling around. He was really big on the digestive system as an indicator of overall health, and caught a couple issues in our family on a number of occasions. Nowadays, I’d have to get an x ray to get similar information (which I’d really like to avoid doing on a regular basis).

    I spent 5 minutes with my ear against the chest of a patient at the bottom of a deep pit in an icy waterfall trying to discern any heartbeat or breathing during a cave rescue (body recovery). I had no stethoscope or any other tools. I teach my EMT students that in spite of advances of technology, mastering the basic diagnostics one can perform with no tools is still useful.

    Hit the nail on the head with this. Throughout med school I've always thought that medicine isn't about how fast or efficient you are at doing clinical tasks. Maybe it's the artist in me. Technology hears but doesn't listen; sees but doesn't look; touch but doesn't feel. My family doctor always told me to focus on the interview and physical exam skills instead of quickly turning to technology. This video summed up what he meant.
    Also, let's see what ointment the derms will use to heal the burns you gave them
