As usual, I have cat hair in my mouth....

I guess it's what I get for having three of them (plus Loody) in a one bedroom apartment.

But my stethoscope was waiting for me when I came home today, and I have a few things to say about this:


  1. OH DAMN!
  2. WOOT!
  3. It's a beautiful Littman Cardiology III with hunter green tubing and both an adult and convertible pediatric side.
  4. ER makes it look a whole lot easier to use than it really is.
  5. I thought I knew what I was doing (no, not from watching that assinine show), but I don't. It's so hard to get a good sound and not wind up listening to your fingers fubling around the bell and muffling the real noises.
  6. It's fucking awesome that I can actually start to listen to and understand what's going on inside there. It's like being in a vacuum... You can't hear anything else but the truth of the heartbeat or the grumbly noises of the stomach. It's breathtaking.
  7. Neener, Neener, I'm gonna be a nurse.


Hey, do you think if I held it up to the newspaper it would tell me what's really happening in the world?

If I had been drinking something just now it would have come out my nose. Just wait until you get more official nursing gear! It might be too much to handle :)
