Stethoscopes (2 Viewers)

[petar13]

Speaking of stethoscopes, I like those dogs (as in your avatar) - but their ears and tails always seem to me, to be out of proportion. That's why GSDs are far superior.

I agree. I dont mind hauling money out for stethoscopes/food provided theyre reasonable, i mean, i wouldnt be doing much with an electric cardiology stethoscope. If a dog steps/bites it then $1000 goes down the drain pretty easily. I guess its okay for doctors/med students to get them because i highly doubt that their patients would do the same as a vets

Haha, you obviously haven't heard some of the stories from Mental Health that I have!

my sister won a stethoscope at amsa, but the raffle was run by curries so i think it was rigged

Highly jealous of the people who won those... i was just sitting there, watching the freebies flow. Then again, i already have one, but haven't used it properly yet (in the sense that it hasn't been required in the course and the only heart i've listened to is mine - still cool though). I'm guessing that i'll definitely need it in 3rd year and later, but there will probably be opportunities before then.

biting isnt my complete worry.. projectile faecal matter is...

Haha how good would that be in traffic!

It would be worth falling a few rungs on the evolutionary ladder just for that.

I won a prize for having the best sinous rythm. Hooray for me, and my perfectly functional heart!

What did you win?

What did you win?

Sigh. There was no prize.

(and yes, it should be sinus)

Of course it is not really the stethescope that matters.
(Any Littman or Tycos/Harvey is ok)

As a professor of cardiology once told me,
"It is the bit between the ear pieces that matters".

Obsessing about stethescopes is very much a first clinical year syndrome.
You will grow out of it eventually.

It took a cardiology professor to tell you that?

Or were you just hoping that mentioning the role of the speaker would lend you some credibility? We ALL know what's important, but a keen ear can only be helped by keen instruments.

Furthermore, you are the very last person I would listen to when told that I am to "grow out" of something, let alone "eventually". An air of superiority alone does not make you superior - you need flair to pull it off.

most hospitals use a $12 type..
I say spend $60ish... its all u need

cos ull just be taking blood pressures in yr 1.. and if u get a nice patient with interesting heart or git pathology borrow the doctors ... but i doubt it.. im still yet to hear some of the stuff...and my $50 one hears everything i need

//edit: with the $60 other dollars u planned to use.. buy a book... talley and O'conner - clinical examination. or booze..

omg yay taking BP is sooo funn

 

[inasero]

haha im sure that will change after only a few months of narky patients screaming heated vitriol at you

 

[Lexicographer]

In which case, you are forever condemned to be inferior.

Bearpooh, unlike other users who hate you I haven't bothered reading your posts, analysing your comments, scouring your history. I don't care. Nothing you say here has any merit, medical parents or no.

Go back to one of the other fora you stomp around in and bother people who care - mediocrity is simply ignored here.

hahaha wow, thats a very weird mix you got there. I havent seen any weird mixes for a while.

 

[Lexicographer]

That's not so unusual, I've seen one or two of those. Ugly as all hell.
