I think I will hang it in my future office, kind of a "Ghost of Clinical Medicine Past"-esque rememberance of my hatred of rounding for 8 hours post call. Either that or I'll sell it on eBay. yeah, thats the ticket.

gave mine to roommate. as an anesthesiologist, i think he'll need it more than i ever will.
 
1. he has one but it sucked and then to top it off, he lost it.
2. no, he has 2 ears.
3. i gave my steth to him cuz i was feeling generous that day...oh the other part of the deal was that he buy me sushi.
 
well seeing how you are interpreting my already said comments, i'm glad i left out the part about him owning a 4-assed kitten for a pet.

What did you - or will you - do with them? :idea:

My dog ate mine. Literally. Looked down and there it was, all over the floor in little bits.

A fitting end for it, I'd say.

Mine is somewhere in a bag somewhere in a closet. Every now and then I will probably pull it out to check if I have a heart murmur.

I do this too. :laugh: Not that I would be able to tell if I had a heart murmur or not.
 
If I had a murmur, I wouldn't hear it because I wouldn't wanna hear it and I would convince myself that it wasn't there.
 
I am the opposite. I keep listening, and eventually start to hear something faint. I can't convince myself it is anymore than I/VI though, and probably just normal flow I am picking up. Or I'm imagining things. I can also split my S2.
 
I 've got mine hanging on my thermostat as decoration:

Yeah...they're the one-sided ones. Bell and diaphragm on the same side. One can switch from one mode to another by pressing firmly or pressing lightly.

It's a load of crap. Whenever I needed to hear low frequency heart sounds, I would just borrow one of the normal two-sided stethoscopes.

I've heard an S4 only 3 times in my life. Never heard an S3...and I never will.

They kept talking about a gallop on Thursday. I listened during walk-rounds and went back and listened again later in the afternoon. Heard an odd S1, but no gallop.

Heard a very cool squeak (my own invented term - and the resident couldn't disagree) on a lady with RHF and edema NYD.
 
Wow, you keep your place pretty warm! If you looked at mine when I was here by myself it would probably be at 63 - 65. If others are over I turn it up as a preemptive measure for the inevitable complaints.

well maybe he's hypothyroid. you should donate some of your T4 to him.
 
I usually keep it 70-75. I like sitting around in T-shirts and boxers when no one is around, even when its -10 outside. Hope that wasn't TMI.

Jeezus, 62-65 is fricking cold dude.

Sometimes I turn the heat up when I am really hungry or tired and get cold.

I agree with all of the above 😎 I was in a 62-65 house recently. I wanted to wrap myself in fleece and never come out again. I could have sworn it was warmer outside.
