Using different stethoscopes during a medical visit

Have you ever had a doctor use different stethoscopes during a medical exam? Last year when I had my last cardiology exam, the doctor used different stethoscopes while listening to my heart. First he listened to me with a Littmann Cardiology and then he used an Erka and finally a Rappaport Spencer. I had the feeling that he wanted to compare them.

An interesting and extraordinary exam for sure! Your feeling might be right... but, I also think he enjoyed to listen to your heart anyway.

I recently had a doctor use different steths on me during the exam, but she used one to take my BP and then another to listen to my chest.

I've never had the same doctor use a different steth whilst stething me

Not during a real visit - no. Unless you count a nurse using her steth for BP and the doctor using his own to listen.

I have seen our GP change from an adult cardiology to a paediatric one when at an appointment once.

My family doctor uses a rappaport with a double head, for adults and pediatrics
