Explanation

In the medical world, a thrill is a vibration that doctors can feel when they touch certain areas of the body. This usually happens when blood is flowing rapidly or forcefully through the blood vessels, often due to some sort of abnormality or disease. It's similar to the sensation you feel when you touch a purring cat or a machine that's running. It's not something a person would feel on their own; it's usually detected by a healthcare professional during a physical examination.
