    use this site http://www.bookdealfinder.com/ it will show all the possibilities and in some cases Half.com is not the cheapest. If you want to sell your books there is a similar search engine that...

    I thought I read on another thread (maybe CCAC 09) that you could buy your stethoscope at the bookstore or on line. In fact it was suggested to "shop around" for those items. So, I am confused as well...

    did you get where the attachment where cost effective screening can be accomplished? Any chance did you get the low cost clinics for the other stuff? I have heard Boyce and Allegheny was given a list...
