After acquiring a bit of knowledge in physical examination and cardiovascular physiology, I came to the conclusion that the "machinery-like" murmur I had heard in her neck might be pathological. I referred my wife to my preceptor in internal medicine, Joe Kaufman, MD, a cardiologist, who told us that my wife had a cirsoid aneurysm off the vertebral artery and that it was serious.
