Title: Great stethoscope for the price
Product review: I'm a nursing student, and a CNA. I bought this scope because I realized that without a scope I'd spend my career borrowing scopes off of other nurses. While the quality of this scope isn't perfect (one can hear from both the diaphragm AND bell no matter what setting it's on, even though the settings do muffle one or the other) it definitely gets the job done. I've compared it to the much more expensive Littman's that several of my fellow students use, and I honestly couldn't tell any difference. For work that requires a high quality scope, like cardiac, then of course this wouldn't be the scope to go to....but for those that need a scope for regular use, this is the way to go. Don't waste your money on a brand name or something that claims to be better...the difference is probably not noticeable.
