Pulsus Philosophicus

"Why were pulses put on my body... What can it mean?"

Different from a pulsus paradoxus, a pulsus philosophicus is any pulse that causes the examiner to question the nature of things.

Example of a Pulsus Philosophicus

"Your pulse is really weak and thready... but what is real anyway? What is reality?"

"Your pulse begs the question: what is the meaning of life?"
