I thought I wanted color but went with a black Littman. I start clinical in Jan. I like to be simple and really I love the sleek look of black. I also got black handles on my bandage scissors. I thought I would get sick of a color. The pink breast cancer one is cute too. I didn't order mine off the net though, and the uniform store didn't have it.

Mine is the Littman orange. Love it! And it always comes back to me because everyone knows it's mine. I have a habit of putting it on the hallway rails when I go into an isolation room.

Snoozie--I changed the URL in your original post to Allheart.com (no "s"). Now it goes where it's supposed to!

I jokingly said, "Well, I'm a pretty bright gal so I thought it was a good match!". She laughed and let it go.(Luckily I made an A on the next test!)

Brilliant!

i just bought the Littman Cardiology 3 black edition and it is sweet looking. I have only seen it on 2 people and that was a paramedic in pittsburgh and Dr. Cox from Scrubs. It definatly stands out and if it gets swiped ill know who stole it (plus i got it engraved) I had a raspberry littman card ii se and it walked off but its a common color and I wont be able to spot it. I got mine on steeles.com

I ordered from www.steeles.com and it went well... I got what I ordered when they said I would get it.
I would recommend them to anyone.

KC, your preferences don't let anyone send you a PM and your email address fails... Hard to answer a PM and give an opinion!!!

I personally bought the gray Littman Cardiology III from Allheart.com for nursing school. Everyone has black, so I wanted mine to be a little different, but still be able to have a versitile color. I have not seen a gray scope at the hospital that I'm currently working as a tech. I was thinking of maybe trying to find a paint that won't wash off w/alcohol & hand painting pink or purple polk-a-dots or something? Something to personalize that won't harbor germs, as engraving the gray scope was not an option available at allheart.com.

Between my husband and I (he's an EMT) we have at least 6 stethescopes and not one of them are a "normal color" The one I am currently using is a purple cammo Ultrascope Everyone at work Knows it's mine not only d/t the color but the odd shaped head. My husband has a bright blue ultrascope with a flag on the head. If you want personalization I would go with Ultrascope you can pick and personalize your head and even engrave it. The price depends on how personal you want it but Everybody knows it is yours! I love the sound quality of it too!

I have the boring black Littman. I love the Littman but I want to get a new one. Something with color..and I want it engraved now that I have my license.

I have noticed in my facility I am the ONLY one with a black stethoscope everyone else has cool, bright colors, except they have the cheapy ones with bad sound quality so they are always asking to borrow mine. I let them borrow it but I go where it goes, so I follow them to the room of the pt they want to use it on
