So dopplers are underrated IMO

What do you guys think? primarily regarding the doppler sound, not the echocardiogram. but if you've ever used a fetal doppler or had one used on you, what did you think about the experience? was it a turn off or on? just curious. been auscultating my heart for the past hour and my alleged brute/murmur is super loud and it makes me miss my doppler Dx

Definitely underrated! You have to get used to how they work - as far as angling the probe and finding the valves. The listening locations are also slightly different than with a stethoscope. If there's a structural issue like a murmur, the doppler will often pick it up.

A vascular probe (5-7 MHz) would probably pick up your bruit quite well.
