Playing Doctor

So today is going to be interesting. Both me and my Mum are volunteering at a war evacuation reenactment in our local library this afternoon. We have just been to a briefing for all the volunteers and we have both been assigned to play Doctors at the medical station. She has been issued with a Littmann stethoscope and I have been given a cheap sprague one. Genuinely jealous 😅

The fit of the earpieces in your ears, sealing out extraneous noise, is the most important part of any steth. A cheap steth that fits your ears will let you hear more than a Littmann that fits your ears poorly. And most patients don't know the difference. Maybe you'll be lucky and get a cute female "patient" or two.

Once I'd gotten over my initial nerves I had a lot of fun. There were 8 of us playing Doctors and they put us into groups of 2 and gave us an age group to examine. I was with a young woman called Ellie and we had the 25 to 40 year olds. There were a few cute women i saw. My Mum was absolutely in her element. She was with a woman in her 40s called Lorraine right next to us and they had the 16 to 24s. There were a couple of young lads who were laughing and joking about. She asked them if they had any medical conditions and they said no. She said no what? Again they said no so she said do you mean no Doctor? She then got them to do 50 push ups They weren't laughing after that😅

Steth yes your right. The sprague served its purpose well. There were a few nervous patients.
