Thanks

one thing is clear u never do the female breast exam at all. No inspection, palpation etc.
Infact they strictly tell just before exam during rotaion.
i dont know if i answer ur q.

thats not a stupid q. u have to request the patient to lift up her left breast to feel her heart beat and to listen to mitral area.
