Piggy Bank stethoscope
I have an ultrascope that cost $109.00...it is an amplifier and it really rocks! you can hear through clothes and dressings and in very noisy environment.
Then I found a Pot Belly Stethoscope for $38.00 and it is just as good! Can order it at Dixie EMS supply here on the internet.
Just bought a Cardiocare, and this one is totally different style, but you can hear really good with this for around $40.00 from Thomas Medical Supply (search on line).
I figure if these get legs I can afford to replace.

I used a Litmann Lightweight in school, cheaper, lighter, easier to fold into a pocket, and sound is still good.

I personally love the Littman stethoscope. Until you get one of your own.........here's one you can have. It's a state of the art one that I thought I'd never part with, but only for you dah-lin'.




So sorry...had to borrow the stethoscope back. Hope you enjoyed it while you had it! (July 15, 2002)
