Delete18a GEN X (CD)
ReplyDeleteIncorrect answer
DeleteI know many medical terms and when I gently use them in my talk with the doctors, their eyebrow will go up. But they won't scold me for showing up my "Internet" knowledge. But 20 is new to me. Thanks Avtaar.
ReplyDeleteAuscultation is the term used for hearing sounds within the chest or abdomen with the help of a stethoscope . This is taught to medical students when they start their clinical postings. Sadly with modern technology, this art is getting lesser and lesser importance and not heard of much in the lay press.
DeleteNowadays doctors rarely touch their patients.
DeleteWhen I was a child the doctor in the military hospital to which my father took me used to fondle the earlobes of kids and established a bonhomie with the patient. The last time my stomach was palpated was several years ago the famous Dr K V Thiruvengadam.
The steth seems to be on the way out, the butterfly IQ gadget seems to be the new kid on the block. Sad or not, I am not sure, some technological advances are probably good, but cost of medical care will probably also rise
DeleteThe Dr. here whom I go to thoroughly checks me.. He puts a stethoscope on my chest, om back, on my neck.. He even taps my knees and my ankles with a mallet... He is a young Thai doctor by the name of Kajonsak.. He does full justice to the monthly examination.. Talks in great length about benefits of exercise, walking and yoga..
DeleteReally glad to know him and consult him..
Auscultation and Auscultation have a lot in common..
and Ausculation
DeleteOff topic but related to crosswords

How can the epaper be different from the print edition. I printed the crossword from the epaper and 4D is missing. It looks like a exact copy of the print edition
ReplyDeleteSorry e-paper also missed it. The online interface has it right
Delete13A: Why can't it be duty? Student joining duty to make money. Duty coming from "study". Can anyone please explain? I am novice to the cryptic crossword.
ReplyDeleteStudy is LEARN, Student is L . So Student drops out of Study is remove L from LEARN i.e. EARN - MAKE MONEY
DeleteThanks Lakshmi. Trust all well
DeleteYes SSV š
DeleteOkay, thank you Lakshmi. I removed S from study, based on "student drops of study" and re-arranged to make it duty ( which kinda relates to job/making money).
DeleteThanks a lot! I will keep learning.
Beautiful surfaces. So many clues to pick as favourites. Well done Sreeni!
ReplyDeleteThank you Veeyares šš
