Sorry no mean to disrespect do all drs. when listen to heart and lung sounds, can they tell the differences and the abnormalities and act upon it?

Unanswerable: This question is so very broad that I do not even know how to begin to answer it. Physicians are trained from day one to use their stethoscope to listen to the sounds the body makes. Most of us have years of experience doing so. Health tap works best if you ask a specific question about yourself.
