  Wait. You didn't actually know how to measure your own pulse? Like
seriously?

  Do you mean that you didn't know where to feel your own pulse (most
common places are the wrist and the neck), or that you didn't know how
to get the beats/minute count? (Both seem like unthinkable to me. How
can a person never during his entire life discover that hey, when I touch
here I can feel my own pulse? And how to measure beats/minute after that
ought to be a rather simple logical deduction.)

  Haven't you seen any movie or TV series where a doctor or someone feels
the pulse of a patient?

  Not really necessary to wait for a full minute. Just count for 15 seconds
and multiply by 4.

  Was this in full rest?
