Hi,
Does anyone have access to this article?
"Choosing the best stethoscope"
by C. Estelle Beaumont, MS, PhD
Nursing2005 w/ Supplement: ED Insider
August, 2005,Volume 35, Number 8, Pages 27 - 28
I'm guessing it's in the ED Insider part as our school has the August issue and I cannot find the article nor the insert. This link shows how I can order it for $2.95 but I want to know if there is any substance to the article before I fork over the $$$ (I know, $3 would really break the bank).
Thanks in advance,
ty

I had it--think I recycled it after I read it. Was not as helpful as I thought it would be. It basically said to make sure the ear pieces are comfortable, put it on, pick up the tubing near the diaphragm and rub the tubing--if it's loud in your ears, it's probably not a good scope. It also talked about the different types of bells and diaphragms--some are two-sided, others one-sided.
I thought the whole 'insert' was pretty silly, or else I wouldn't have recycled it.

Sorry, I didn't see the part about it being an "insert."
I didn't get it in my issue either.

thanks though,
