Equipment

I am thinking about adding some new equipment to my small collection. What would those who are more knowledgeable then I suggest I add? I have only a few basics and am looking for some things that are not so basic. But can also be easy to work with and easy to learn. Thanks for the help!

It would be helpful if we knew what equipment you already have, that way we wouldn't be duplicating your efforts.

I currently have a medium and large speculum, stethoscope, a few thermometers, and an enema bag.

And what are your interests?

Otoscope for ear and throat exams? A small realistic touch to it.

Blood pressure instrument? Rectal Speculum? A dental mirror maybe?

Oh, just get some leather straps and a nylon cane so you can deal with recalcitrant patients. 😁 😁 😁 😁

How about a Wartenberg Pin Wheel and Reflex Hammer? An ophthalmoscope? Some tongue spatulas? And of course some anal instruments.

Doctor Brian

Oh, that Susie! She knows just what to bring to every party to deal with "troublesome" patients. Gotta love it!

^^^^ You really made me laugh.

Except that I'm dead serious. >😄 😁 >😄 😁 >😄 😁

Another thing that might help us out in helping you decide what to get is to let us know more about what interests you. Do you like to be the patient, or the doctor, or do you like to switch? Are you into pain or not? Bondage or not? Do you like to play with men or women, or both? ALso, are you into enemas at all, not so much, or never?

We can make better and more helpful suggestions from there.

ALso remember, sometimes the best equipment you can have are able hands and a willing mind.

Oh, and on a side note, Susie is being dead serious, lol.

Mashie,

Good questions that I didn't think to answer. I have found that I like to switch and enjoy both sides of the speculum. No pain nor bondage, at least not yet. I will play with men only. I have enjoyed the enemas I have had, looking forward to more! I love anal play!!!

Anoscope and proctoscope 😉

Two things I have been keeping my eye out for at the right price are...

One of the assemblies you see in some doctors offices. They have an otoscope, and a sphygmomanometer with a big dial and a little basket to keep the cuff and squeeze bulb in. I think one of those setups would be a nice touch on the wall.

The other thing comes from my electronics background and that is a patient monitor. The problem with most of the low priced ones is that all of the accessories are generally missing and replacing them would be more than the thing cost in the first place.

I vote for the proctoscope.

Playtime I know this is an old thread and that you may have already added to your collection of equipment. As other have already suggested a Wartenberg Wheel (used mainly for neurological exams) and a protoscope may be useful additions. In addition you may also think about getting a few other speculums ( like a collins, Millers etc) just for the experience ( I know the graves and the pederson speculums are commonly used in the US). Then of course as Reggind suggested some type of monitoring equipment and finally an exam table with knee rest .

I am thinking about starting a collection of medical supplies. I already have a stethoscope blood pressure cuff combo. I am thinking about buying 2 exam gowns (just for more realistic senrio.), I also want to buy an individual stethescope and blood pressure cuff. That is what I was wanting initially but when my wife bought them the guy at the pharmacy talked her into buying a combo. I am also wanting to buy an otoscope, a specula (I havnt decided which kind yet.) If any of you ladies have a suggestion for comfortability please let me know. I also want a hammer to test knee reflexes. I am also wanting an LED pin light and a black medical bag to put all of my goodies. That is all I can think of. If anyone else has any suggestions please let me know.
