  1. Venoscope II, Veinlight EMS/LED, transilluminators

    Difficult_To_Stick posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi there nurses, doctors, and whomever else is on this website. I will start by saying that I am not a doctor, nurse, or in the medical field at all. Instead, I'm a law student. I do come from a...

  2. Stethoscope - best for the buck

    Difficult_To_Stick posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Hi again. I'm starting a second thread just for one more question I figured you folks would be best at helping me with. I've been using the same sthethoscope for some time now. I belive it's a Mabis...

  3. Stethoscope - best for the buck

    Difficult_To_Stick replied to Difficult_To_Stick's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I had some time to kill while I was on permahold with a doctor's office, so I went over to Medisave.net to look at the Classic II SE and Cardiology III even though I don't need to buy one yet. I was...

  4. Stethoscope - best for the buck

    Difficult_To_Stick replied to Difficult_To_Stick's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Thanks. I plan to use my cheapie Mabis for as long as I can. My father gave me the remaining parts from his (that fell apart during use shortly after being given it as a gift), so I have spare parts...

  5. Venoscope II, Veinlight EMS/LED, transilluminators

    Difficult_To_Stick replied to Difficult_To_Stick's topic in General Nursing

    Ok. I appreciate all of the input. I realize that this is a tough issue as many nurses (and doctors) still prefer to get an IV started manually. I was told something yesterday that made me think. I...

    Hi all, I just wanted to hit this once more. Veinlite v Venoscope, which do you use and if you've used both, which one works best? That's all I'm asking.

  7. Stethoscope - best for the buck

    Difficult_To_Stick replied to Difficult_To_Stick's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Just looked at the Ultrascope online out of curiosity. The pressure modulated frequency control doesn't make sense to me. How is that possible? Does it actually work? Does it basically eliminate...

  8. Venoscope II, Veinlight EMS/LED, transilluminators

    Difficult_To_Stick replied to Difficult_To_Stick's topic in General Nursing

    Nooooo. Quite the contrary. I have no expectation that the nurse or doctor that tries to start my IV will be familiar with how to use a transilluminator. I especially have no expectation that they...

  9. Stethoscope - best for the buck

    Difficult_To_Stick replied to Difficult_To_Stick's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Thanks all. That's plenty of information. I wrote down the suggestions on a notecard and stuck in in the front zipper pocket of the cheapie case that I'm using to keep to the scope in. If it breaks...

  10. Venoscope II, Veinlight EMS/LED, transilluminators

    Difficult_To_Stick replied to Difficult_To_Stick's topic in General Nursing

    I will definitely ask about the Mediport. I have a strong feeling that I'm going to be told that my susceptibility towards developing an infection is too high to consider this type of approach. I...

    Difficult_To_Stick replied to Difficult_To_Stick's topic in General Nursing

    I'll ask about that surgical implant. It sounds like it's around the same lines as a PICC line (edit: I just noticed that I missed you mentioning a PICC line)? I have a feeling that my doctors are...
