I absolutely know the answers to this question…I’m
asking you guys b/c she is arguing with me and not believing me, so I thought I”d
get some back up, good or bad. I figured if I was wrong, you guys would et me
know, and if I was right then I could show her it wasn’t just my
assessment, but others who felt the same way.
Part of the discussion was that if it was so easy to get
a horses’ pulse, then why are we all running around with stethoscopes.
Why not just take the pulse at pulse points? I told her it wasn’t always
that easy to feel a pulse. I wasn’t aware that there was any really good,
reliable pulse point, such as the wrist on a human, that gave satisfactory
results across the board. Sometimes I can see it in the jugular, sometimes you
can feel it in the jowl, but I didn’t think it was such a consistent
thing.
