1) When auscultating with a double head Stethoscope, do you prefer the bell or the diaphragm side ?
2) When being auscultated, do you prefer the bell or the diaphragm side of the Stethoscope ?
(Me, I prefer the diaphragm - it looks sexier, it sounds sexier (the "diaphragm sound" when lifting the steth from the skin :-) and it feels sexier, when the diaphragm is sticking to the skin. Littmann's are the best here, but also the Supraphon (single head with diaphragm) gives good results:9
I'm looking forward to your opinion and to your experience - thank you very much!
