TRICKY THURSDAY All People Eat Turkey Meat is the mnemonic I was taught to remember the points of auscultation of the heart.  All = Aortic People = Pulmonic Eat = Erb’s Point Turkey = Tricuspid Meat = Mitral  Also, my personal trick is pretending that I’m the “Z for Zorro” character, and I’m drawing a Z across their chest with my stethoscope. 

TRICKY THURSDAY

All People Eat Turkey Meat is the mnemonic I was taught to remember the points of auscultation of the heart. 

  • All = Aortic
  • People = Pulmonic
  • Eat = Erb’s Point
  • Turkey = Tricuspid
  • Meat = Mitral 

Also, my personal trick is pretending that I’m the “Z for Zorro” character, and I’m drawing a Z across their chest with my stethoscope.
