Yesterday, we got to vist the “harvey lab” in Cardiopulm. Harvey is a mannequin that can simulate all sorts of heart sounds & conditions with the touch of a button, he even has palpable pulses! So, aside from that being pretty darn awesome…I was reminded of another reason (aside from all the obvious ones) that I love … Continue reading
