(Found them)

It was kinda fun πŸ˜„ I think reading an ultrasound is basically magic, so if I can help someone learn how to do that, I am all for it.

I was in the Semmelweis last year for a nasty sepsis; and while there was a guineapig for a heart ultrasound, so I had a diagnosis from one expert and 15 students that my (elderly) heart has no plaques and is in great shape. Very happy to help students any time!

I bet they were in the last place they looked, though.

I hope you asked the student β€œwhere did you leave them?”

I also like to provide a learning opportunity whenever I can - and I always ask the students to explain what they are doing so that I can also learn something new. πŸ™‚
