Hey, thanks. I'm really glad some of you guys actually gave me advice instead of just telling me to search the other forums... lol, I know there are other threads about stethoscopes, but I wanted to see if people would share their favorites. I'd love to work in pediatrics w/ me degree, so I need a good one that preferably has a pediatric bell and will be sturdy. =) I've been wanting to splurge on a good one for a while now.
