I was cleaning out my car the other day, found my stethoscope in my glove box and plopped it on the rear view mirror so I wouldnt lose/forget where I put it, unfortunately I forgot to take it down, so I go out to my car yesterday and had a OMG moment when I notice my scope sitting on my rearview ( I have lost several this way.) and examine the tubing and there is a spot of discoloration.
I dont notice any change in the sound quality or anything, but since its possible that the scope is damaged I would like to save it as a back up and get a new one.
I have/had a Littman lightweight and I liked it for everything BUT the fact it was a lightweight and Id often not notice it wasnt around my neck(I always took it off while starting IVs or the rare occasion I got to do CPR so it wasnt hanging in the way when I leaned) and walk out of a patients room/ambulance with out it.
So if possible, Id like something similar, but heavier. I LOVED the bell shape but I dont think I could find a different scope with that kind of bell, but I like having the double bell and hate single bell scopes, and no sprauges.
So, any recommendations on scopes to look at?
