      Ali, I'm not a doctor but I don't think I've ever seen a doctor with a basic Classic. I agree with That Medic, obesity AND through the gown if for no other reason, I mean, how much time do you want to spend auscultating with your 15 minutes portal to portal? So in that sense it WILL make you a better doctor.

      I just got that one a few days ago (not yet arrived) but yea, it was pretty much between this and the classic 3, i chose the fancy one because my doctor (for Studies) sait that price here doed relate to sound really but she still uses the one she got at uni so maybe invest a bit. (And really, its expensive anyways so why not, and it has so many designs to make it more personal, i got an all black with a purple stem)

    Brother Ali, Cardiology IV is louder as it has double tube.Classic SE II is a Single tube stethoscope. I have extensively used Classic SE II and Cardiology III. 5 years back I started using Cardiology III which is the older model of Cardiology IV. I have been thinking of buying Cardiology IV in near future. Both Stethoscope provide excellent acoustic fidelity and high SNR (Signal Noise Ratio).
    However My professor used to tell us that the organ between the ears is the most important while auscultating.

  • @MrPaulosophy
    @MrPaulosophy 4 года назад +13

    You neglected to mention that both sides of the chest piece can be used as both a diaphragm and bell. You can adjust the frequency by changing the pressure. High pressure=high frequency and the inverse is also true. The bell is great for pediatric patients as well as well as stuff like listening to the korotkof sounds. I love mine so much. Before that I also had a classic ii and the reason I upgraded was because I was working with a lot of dementia patients and when theres a lot of screaming it helps to have good sound.

    • @EdDerp101
