1. What stethoscope do you have?

   Pepperpants replied to zooz's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I think sprague steths suck. The sound could be clear but I sold mine as the binaurals just did not fit and the extrnal noise always sneaked in my ears... Not for us EMT students I guess.. The double tubing was really stiff and not too flexible. Sold...

2. Stethoscopes

   Pepperpants replied to afarru's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Hey there, Thanks for the reply. Well in terms of the cardiology model, I am not planning to spend that much. Might sound silly but I would like to switch to something cheaper but still very close to the classic II SE. I have a Littmann Classic II SE...

3. Littmann alternatives

   Pepperpants replied to Skynet's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Do you guys have any experience with the MDF 747XP model? Same as the 777 but I guess it is aluminium therefore it is cheaper? Does the material really mattters that much regarding sound transmittion? It looks exactly the same as the 777 md one model...

   Hi there j_tay! Always nice to read your posts, very informative. Please provide me some help! I have a Littman Classic but I don't wanna bring it on the road and practice (EMT student I am) as I am afraid it would grow legs.. I might need a very sim...

   Hey Zooz, Which one you reccomend quality and sound-wise? Prestige Clinical I or MDF 777? I need a trusty scope with accurate sound. Thanks, P

   Hi there, Can anyone tell me some experience with MDF stethoscopes? I' m thinking about ordering an MD One (777). It is on sale on a webshop... Any experiences? Is this really can be mentioned on the same page as the Littman Classic II SEs'? I am loo...

7. EMT stethoscope and equipment

   Pepperpants replied to Pepperpants's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Thanks mate! Yeah, maybe you are right, I will not bring the spghymomanometer. Just a friend told me they had seen weird stuff like over-used bp cuffs with holes on them, literally being useless taking bp... Anyway I find it ickey to use someone else...

8. EMT stethoscope and equipment

   Pepperpants replied to Pepperpants's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I guess the ambulance staff has a spghymomanometer in the rig, but where I am gonna work first is a bit different... Gonna be messing around in the suburbs (teacher says that's the best to gain experience) and some of the ambulance staff is badly-equ...

   Pepperpants replied to Pepperpants's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Thank you guys! I haven't expected such a quick reply. Really kind of both of you! OK, I get a penlight, though I have an old one, but that is really "blinding"... Incandescent one. Gonna check on ebay, etc... What else should I be considering to...

    Hi there! I am new to this forum, but wanted to say hi to everyone anyway. I have a question. I am participating in a EMT Intermediate/paramedic - 15 month long vocational programme. I am just about to collect some gear. Is it a bit cocky that I h...
