Impact A Medical Profession

Recommend Stethoscopes please?

I am a medical student, and i need a stethoscope for the coming semester, what stethoscopes do u recommend? and Why?
the most recommended is Littmann, but lots of comments i've seen online are saying the cons of it, saying that the new technology is not relevant or not so good.
could u please specify the models? like for Littmann, is a littman master good enough, or i should get a Cardiology III ?

As a medical student, any cheap scope will do. People will recommend stethoscopes that cost $50 up, but a $20 rappoport will do. Unless you're a cardiologist, it really doesn't matter much.

One thing that expensive stethoscopes do very well is get stolen. Hospitals are notorious for theft, so don't take anything in there that you don't mind losing. Keep your wallet in your pocket and your stethoscope around your neck.

If a murmur is so soft that you can't hear it with a cheap scope, it's an insignificant murmur. Ditto for breath sounds.

If you DO go into cardiology and need a better scope, get it later when you know what you want in a stethoscope.
