Pediatric stethoscopes??

Hi everybody,

I don't know if I'm alone with that, but there something that turns me on about pediatric stethoscopes. I've no idea what exactly it is, maybe it's because of the memories with visiting the pediatrician and the stethoscope she had... I'm about to order a used littmann classic II pediatric, if I'll get it, I'll tell you my experience with it!

I would say this: stethoscopes with a small head turned me on, there is something exciting about them. But one day I read that these are children's stethoscopes. And then there was a barrier, because I don't want to associate my love of the stethoscope with children.

I don't want to associate my love of the stethoscope with children.

I understand what you mean, but for me this has nothing to do with children. I just like the look of the pediatric stethoscope and the objects itself. I would never associate it with actual children. That would be perverted.

For me it would be the opposite. When I was a child I had to go several times to the doc and he always listened to me. I started to hate auscultation and that's why I hate pediatric stethoscopes.

I too also have a pediatric littman stethoscope.

Remember the pediatric stethoscopes growing up. sitting there nude on the exam as the doctor listened to my heart and lungs.

Red ones look cute wrapped around necks of pretty blonde female doctors.

I don’t really remember having a paediatric stethoscope used on my chest as a child. My doctor just used the same stethoscope on all his patients, I remember the diaphragm looked big on my small chest though when I was young.

I was buying a sprague stethoscope, and with the extra pieces i got in the package, i could make an pediatric stethoscope out of that.
