for a co-worker who dresses like she’s about to go into surgery. As the surgeon, I might add.

I really like this stethoscope!!!! It is very clear and I can usually hear a b/p when others cannot. My only complaint: it starts to feel very heavy after a long day of wearing it around my neck!

Can’t hear well. Got one from my school’s stethoscope ceremony…all it’s good for is display.

This stethoscope is good as a “starter” for people just getting into health care (e.g. nursing students, etc.). There were a few downsides: It’s a little heavy around the neck (as someone had mentioned earlier). It is difficult to hear heart and lung sounds in in people who are overweight or women with lots of breast tissue and it can get tight on the ears.
For the price and quality, it’s decent. I was able to successfully use it throughout nursing school. I could sometimes hear adventitious heart and lung sounds with it (when it wasn’t even noted by the nurse or documented in the patient’s chart) and sometimes not, but that came with practice. I recommend it for temporary use, but would buy a stethoscope of better quality when officially practicing in the field.

I bought this stethoscope for myself & my several co-workers(RN) last year.
Quality of sound is not good to listen chest or lung sound. It might be OK to use to check blood pressure.
