Sounds of Medicine

Various Artists FW06127 / FX 6127

As good as ER, only real. This recording first takes us into the operating room, where a young surgeon is removing a cyst from the neck of a small child. Then we listen through the stethoscope to the heart and lungs of a young woman with rheumatic heart disease—and to a healthy man’s bowels, which reveal that he is hungry.
