I'm going to have you lie back on the table now so that i can better assess your heart. let's put this pillow under your legs. I'm noting that your clavicles are not equal bilaterally. There are some moles present on the skin but nothing alarming. breathing is normal and symetrical. Let me know if you feel any pain or tenderness as I check for lumps. I do not note any masses. I cannot see your apical pulse, but this is normal. I can feel a strong apical pulse at the 5th left intercostal. I am not noting abnormal vibrations.
