Littman Classic II SE, which replaced my Littman Master Classic that I left behind in a nursing home, never to be seen again.
This, if I ever get to using one again... Now where'd that bag of goodies go?

I currently work IFT and EMS. Most of my patients are old and cold and frankly don't need to be undressed for my generally unnecessary assessments. I have absolutely no problem cutting clothes off of a patient if necessary, but for my job, having a scope that lets me auscultate easily through multiple layers is awesome.
My steths are at all times either in my bag or around my neck, no exceptions, even if it makes me look silly. Thats about the only way to keep up with them.

I'm the same way.
Random related side hijack- I've been eyeing a Littmann add-on, it's a bell adapter for my Littmann that helps out with peds. The one I found is http://www.allheart.com/3mlspac2andse.html here and I figure for $6 it might be worth a try. Has anyone used it or have any insight on it? Thanks in advance.
Oh, and I also have a Classic II S.E. and I'm probably going to get a second one, the ninja black one... It just looks so BA ^_^

Ultrascopes are really popular here eh?
Needing a new one for clinicals. Either Cardiology III or Ultrascope. Opinions?

Heh, I've got a dual tube sprauge sitting around I can send them 
Between that and selling my stupid Littmann I probably can get a new US at no out of pocket cost

Just got my Littman Classic II SE. Love it. They didn't have the ninja black scopes or the copper finish or the brass finish at medisave. Bummer. I had to settle for the old silver and black.

Nobody said that you weren't as cool just because you don't have a "super duper brand new up to date stethoscope". But to deny that there is a difference between the $10 scopes in the rig and a Littmann or Ultrascope is just ignorance. There's no problem using the scopes in the rig, that's what my preceptor does (well, actually she uses mine
), but you have to realize that you'll have a harder time hearing things.
