This review is from: Auscultation Skills: Breath & Heart Sounds (Book with 2 Audio CD-ROMs) (Paperback)

I bought this as a nursing student, 5 years ago, and never wrote a review for it. I love this product. In nursing school we are taught what different lung and heart sounds should sound like. However, reading what something sounds like and actually hearing it make all the difference. This CD breaks down different sounds nursing students and nurses should be familiar with. It's a good refresher for a nurse who hasn't had a patient with rales or hasn't heard a gallop in a while. I'd recommend this to nursing instructors, students, and nurses.

You can be very clever but you will not hear to all the sounds anomaly in your everyday practice.
So I'm not surprised that you need it because tomorrow you can say : I KNOW THIS SOUND
