Since Crocs does not make half sizes, do those of you who wear a half size go up to the next size or down a size? They say that their shoes are made to be worn "loosely", so does that mean they have already increased the size or that people should buy a larger than normal size? Anyone know? :)

I am a nursing student and I need to purchase a stethoscope. I know many people recommend Littman's, which I might get in the future, but for now, I have narrowed down my choices to about 3 cheaper ones. I could use some help comparing them, so if anyone has any comments, they would be greatly appreciated! I am looking at the Prestige Medical sprague, spraguelite, and dual-head sprague. I like the idea of the spraguelite being smaller and lighter, but the 5-in-1 option of the traditional sprague looks handy also. And I don't understand the difference between a dual-head stethoscope and one that comes with different size bells and diaphragms. Also, the dual-tubing versus the single-tubing as well as tubing length is another thing to consider. I think I would like to be able to hang it around my neck, even though some say that isn't good. And how do you choose the right eartips? I have already looked at a ton of websites that sell stethoscopes and have read some people's opinions, but I am still overwhelmed and confused. Does anyone own any of the 3 that I am considering? Please help!! :uhoh21:
