The Pulse, What is It?

In this episode, I discuss the what the pulse is, how it originates, where to locate it , how to feel it and pulse quality. Of course taking an accurate pulse and feeling the difference in pulse quality is based on you practicing the technique. An easy way to do this is on yourself or if you have a cooperative dog or cat.I have also posted the references below . All sources are textbooks. You can also do a web search, there are plenty of references on this topic.Note, during my discussion about counting the pulse I say "digital" watch. I meant to say analog watch with a second hand. This is my preferred clock/watch to make a count of the pulse. On the other hand, a digital watch/clock may also be used. Happy Thanksgiving, stay safe.
