I wanted to auscultate, but that was not an option.

An old man with a failing heart couldn’t breathe but sneaked his hand up an intern’s skirt as she auscultated his chest.

I have palpated cancer, seen the havoc it wreaks under a microscope, and auscultated the damage it inflicts on the body’s organs.

"Although patients think they are going to be suffocated during a paroxysm, the chest is normally resonant on percussion, and if it be auscultated as they draw in breath again vesicular breathing is heard everywhere."

In auscultating the heart I prefer the binaural stethoscope of the Ford pattern.
