Speaker: Kenneth Proefrock. The eclectic physicians and physiomedicalists used a stethoscope to relate heart and lung sounds to particular herbal remedies. This class is based on one Kenneth taught for a while at SCNM, and found it very enlightening. Everyone had a stethoscope, we talked about normal heart, lung and abdominal sounds, then we listened to one another to get a sense of the large range of ¢â‚¬Ëœnormal', then we talked about common pathological presentations and specific herbal medicines prescribed on the basis of the findings of this diagnostic tool. This is NOT a medical diagnostics class, but an interesting exercise that helps shed light on historical herbal usage.
