So my birthday is coming up soon, and Xmas is also just around the corner. My dad half jokingly but half seriously through out the idea of getting me a stethoscope for Xmas. While I laughed at the idea, I told him I had no idea where to even begin gathering info about which stethoscope to buy and for that reason I asked him not to get me one.
So, has anybody elses parents insisted on getting a stethoscope as a gift?
More importantly, how do you go about getting a stethoscope? I'm guessing the schools dont provide them, and just as with any product i'm sure there are varying qualities and prices and I'm sure there is a brand or a type that is most common/has the best reviews or whatever. So what should you be looking for in a stethoscope and at what point is the increase in price not really worth the increase in value of the product?
