HI everyone!
New to the site, I'm a student looking forward to finishing my associates degree in Dec. 2006! Yay:) !!! I'm actually in the market for a new stethoscope, I was thinking of getting a Littman classic II SE, Littman Cardiology III, or an Ultrascope {they're really cute looking, but do they work well?} If anyone has any suggestions on which one to get I'd appreciate it a bunch. Thx!

I love my Littman Classic!

The best three stethoscopes are Littman, Littman or Littman... in that order.

I've had a littman for years. I really can't hear breath sounds very well with anything else. However, the advice I always give is to "try before you buy" I've met nurses who swear by ultrascope, and still others who like the sprague (??!?)

I have a Littman Cardiology II SE. Absolutely LOVE it. You can hear so well and Litmann is famous for their extra cushy ear pieces. Plus you get extra diaphragms with the scope.

Littman cardiology iii by all means....You can hear a hummingbird's whisper.
