Hi,
Has anyone ever bought a master cardiology stethoscope off of www.stethoscopes.com. Has anyone ever used this site?
It is going for 151$ plus shipping for a total of 174$ Canadian for a brand new littman 27 inch master cardiology scope and it comes with a free heart and lung sounds CD ROM. Is this a fair price for one?
Question: Does buying a scope from a dealer thats not an "authorized" dealer off of the littman site mean thats its a rip off or fake? I dont wanna be ripped off and get an imitation one or something! Haha if i buy this scope itll better be amazing for the price (hoping so...)
Thanks
Muhaha

Allheart.com has the Littmann Master Cardiology for $138.99 plus shipping. These are not ripoffs-they are Littmann and worth the price!

If you perform a site search you will find previous threads discussing the various online medical suppliers and issues with each.
After doing so recently I purchased my replacement stethoscope from Redding Medical. I found their prices to be comparable and their service was excellent. I ordered my stethoscope on Wednesday evening and it was shipped the next day, and this was with standard shipping. They do not however provide a heart/lung sounds CD with purchase.
If you Google heart or lung sounds you will find several sites with online tutorials. One site I use it the UCSD Practical Guide to Clinical Medicine. Here you will find links for several heart and/or lung sound tutorials.
Hope this helps.
