10wattbulb Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Question: Is $180 a good price for a stethoscope? Which stethoscopes models are the best price/quality-wise and when do you start using them - right off the bat or later in the school year? How about the dissecting kits - how much should I expect to pay for one of those and what 'tools' should they have (just the basic stuff or are there some fancy tools you recommend)?

How about the dissecting kits - how much should I expect to pay for one of those and what 'tools' should they have (just the basic stuff or are there some fancy tools you recommend)? I would get the package they offer during O-week, its generally cheaper to buy the Stethoscope and all the stuff (lab coat, dissection kit etc...) with it. I believe my whole O-week package came out to $300 including all the equipment and events (180 of which was for the steth). We started using our steth in early Nov (so not right off the bat). I actually don't remember what a dissecting kit costs, but it generally includes a scalpel, two different pairs of scissors (on larger and one smaller), a couple different tweezers and a few other things I must be forgetting. The basic kit was more than enough for dissections (i.e. you don't need special fancy tools) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dw88 Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Who is this ACHQ character? =P (I'm trying to guess ahah) As for my 2 cents - I'm pretty sure everybody who didn't already have a dissection kit bought one in the OWeek package or else they should have, its cheap and fits into the drop in a bucket phenomenon. Also I think the vast majority of people bought a stethoscope in the package (unless they had a good one from family/friends). It's important, so get a new one imho. Most people get the standard (boring black) one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The basic kit was more than enough for dissections (i.e. you don't need special fancy tools) Thanks for your input; my package ended up in the 400-something range. A bit expensive I find, but at least, I'll have everything and won't end up running around to get stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
