Ridecamp: Re: [RC] HRM and Stethoscopes

There is artery that runs close to the surface on the face. If you draw a
line between the ear and the eye it is a little behind that line. It is normally
very easy to find. I often take the pulse there.

Between the eye and ear?  Never heard that one

before.  Where between the eye and ear?  Many's

the time I've been sans stethescope and wanted

to do a pulse check.  If I can't get one from

the jaw, I try the tail, but that can be

exceedingly awkward.  How do I do it between

the eye and ear?
