Anyone who's ever been to a "teaching hospital" knows to expect a group of students to descend upon them at any time. I was in the recovery room and saw a bunch of students gather around a beautiful blonde who, even in a gown, was obviously well endowed. Recovery is an excellent place for student doctors to become familiar with variations in heartbeats, while the body comes back to normal from the operation and the anesthesia, by using a simple stethoscope. The first student approached her calmly and proceeded to listen intently. The group was silent for a moment. The woman hesitated, then looked sympathetically into the eyes of the doctor-to-be. Reaching up, she gently placed the earpieces into his ears.
