It was last year that I published an e-book entitled "Practical Handbook of Phonocardiography: 50 Case Studies with Embedded Audio and Video." What has made me proud is that the digital book is written in English. I did it for everyone in the world to use my book, since little is available regarding phonocardiography with audio files as well as echo movies. The book is not selling like hotcakes, though.
Luckily, the other day, I had an opportunity to perform a lecture about physical examination of cardiomyopathy in the 15th cardiac physical examination seminar. The meeting is a well known annual conference and I had attended the 2nd or 3rd seminar more than 10 years ago, when I did not image I would be a presenter because the contents I learned at the conference was beyond the reach of my imagination.
I suppose that my presentation was not perfect with some trouble in audio and mouse control. I was, however, really honored to make a presentation in the session. I was still wondering why I was chosen as a speaker for the conference, but my guess is that the select is associated with my e-book about cardiac auscultation.
I am going to keep on learning and enjoying this field. Thank the heart!
