Re: Feeling pulse in leg; reason for concern?

I'll have to talk to him about it tomorrow. It happens quite often and
I've always ignored it because I've talked to others who say they
experience the same thing. What tests can he perform in this case if
it is an aneurysm? I knew someone who was sent home from a hospital
who died from an aneurysm that night and have always wondered what
could have been done to discover her actual condition.
