Femoral pulse

CuriousOne said:

Hi,

Can anybody tell me where and how to find the femeral
pulse? Is it more towards the front of the leg or the
inside of the leg? How high is it? Any diagrams?

Well, first off, if you're trying to find it on someone else
then you need to be really good friends! ;-)

The femoral pulse is about 2/3 of the way from your hip to
your groin right in the "crease" where leg meets pelvis. It
will be much easier to feel if you're lying down and your
leg muscles are relaxed. Use two fingers and press firmly,
but not too firmly.

For this task it has a rudimentary nervous system. When it
finds its spot and takes root, it doesn't need its brain
anymore so it eats it. It's rather like getting tenure.
