See, okay. This is the type of thing that makes me want to vomit. Perhaps it's that my wife is a nurse, so every time I see someone make sexual and misogynistic comments about nurses on these forums, I just imagine that you're making them about my super hot wife, and so I get really defensive as I'm a man and that's my woman and I imagine you checking out her ass. I will give you that. BUT, SEXISM and MISOGYNY have no place in medicine. No place at all. 1) Nurses are people. They are not objects for your sexual fantasy or for your groping pleasure. 2) Many of them are actually NOT hot. Many of them are quite old and obese, with mustaches. 3) 95% of RN's would rather cut off their own arm than see your genitals. This according to my wife, who would definitely report any MD/DO/med student who hit on her. So, let's stop this woman-hating nurses-are-only-good-for-T&A fest. OK? Thanks.
Also, about the stethoscope. You may not be aware of this, but on the Littman Cardiology III, the "bell" that you refer to has multiple interchangeable heads to it. You can switch out the "bell" for a pediatric diaphragm. Bam! You've got an adult stethoscope and a pediatric stethoscope in one.
Shocking, yes. But true story.
