Snow Leopard Pre Order »

I ordered my stethoscope from Stethoscopes.com on July 6th, and it finally got delivered this evening. I now have my first official “doctor tool.” I’m just a bit discouraged that I won’t be using it for over a month.

After consulting several upperclassmen from medical schools across the nation, I went with 3M’s Littmann Cardiology III. Why did I get the custom name engraving and the black edition? Well, the name engraving was to differentiate my scope from my classmates’ scopes in group activities. The black edition is a testament to my dull and boring nature (and because I find it annoying when my shiny toys get scratches).

What kind of scope are you getting?
