cool

hi folks, I want and need to hear your opinions regarding this important topic for many of us...

Which stethoscope is good for an internal medicine residency??? I'm going to sell my current stethoscope to a friend of mine, so I'm going to buy a new one... and am starting to look for options.

I've heard things about littmann of course, but also somethings about Sprague scopes, or Welch-Allyn Harvey scopes.

I'm confused here, I don't know which one should I buy?

any suggestions

I guess this topic will be useful for many of you, cause we are in a similar position right now

thanks for all your replies

wink

I mean, not only which brand but also which specific model would be the ideal...

Littman, Classic II SE/ Cardiotone.
Go to stethoscope.com. They have an extensive list.
U just need an attentive ear....the more fancier the steth, the more Ur neck will hurt carrying it along.I have seen the best of cardiologists use the simplest of steths.

I have a Littman Master Classic. I love it. Classic models from Littman will do, either the Classic II or Master Classic.

Littmann Cardiology III, the bell is heavy enough to use it as a reflex hammer!!!
Kind of expensive though. $160.00
