What is the subject complement in the nurse felt your pulse?

What is the subject complement in the nurse felt your pulse?
There is no subject complement in this sentence. In this sentence "felt" is a transitive action verb with "pulse" being a direct object, receiving the action of the verb.To have a subject complement in the sentence, "felt" would have to function as a linking verb. Example: The patient's pulse felt rapid. (In this case "rapid" is a predicate adjective describing the subject "pulse"; "rapid" is the subject complement.)
