I wonder what John's pulse is? Display John's pulse. I need to know John's pulse. How many beats per minute is John's heart going? What's John's pulse rate? How fast is John's heart rate? How fast is John's blood pumping? What is the rate of John's heart? What is the rate of John's pulse? How fast is John's heart beating? What is the frequency of John's heart pulses? What is the frequency of John's cardiac cycle? How fast is John's cardiac cycle? What is the rate of John's pulse? I want the result of John's auscultation. Give me John's heart beats, or give John death! Okay, probably not the last one. If you're trying to do some natural language processing, you should take a look at the Natural Language Tool Kit (NLTK) [1]. The NLTK is written in Python, and also has a book to help you out (available free online or as a physical book for price). In any case, English is a terribly difficult language to parse, and can have many ambiguities that can only be resolved through knowledge of the subjects and verbs involved. Good luck on your project. Just remember: Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo [2]. [1] The NLTK website is at "http://nltk.sourceforge.net/index.php/ Main_Page" [2] That's actually valid English.
