Whose breath?

Dear Tutor, In the notes on palpation and in particular the pulse, we are told the pulse is normal if it has a frequency of four beats per breath. Whose breath rate is this? The patient's breath or the doctor's breath?

Of course it's the doctor's breath!

Thanks for clearing this up.
