Thank you!
I was about to purchase the Littmann classic 3 but I was like "it'll be better if I saw a video on which one to get" and I'm glad that I did
Thank you so much 👏🏻
your voice so calm and relax 🌸
Just the video I needed!
So helpful and informative 👌🏾💖 you are amazing!!!
Mannn thank youuu
I was so confused in cardiology 4 vs classic 3
🙌🙌
Thanks very much for the video. It is an eye opener to me
Hi, thanks for the great content!
Great Video, although, you have me procrastinating looking at all the types of stethoscopes now !!!
Well put. Thank you.
Really cracking information as always Ollie!
You can also get great tips from watching the old Carry On Doctor movie which comes complete with English accents.
I’m in EMT school and In January I start clinicals. So I need to have one by then, so I’m just gonna ask for a MDF one for Christmas most likely
Thanks❤
Superb video 🤗 I have ordered a Littmann Classic III Stethoscope 5811 Smoke Special Edition Black Tube. Can you please tell me that is it the model and design of yours one? ❤️
Thank you 😇
Appreciate this video, thanks! The link to Complete Anatomy doesn’t seem to work. Keep safe😷
Brilliant video! Thank you so much for the tips!🙏🏻💗
You are absolutely welcome Zoya!
1. How to ensure the Quality of the Littman Stethoscope?
2. Is there any Testing Devices / Simulators for testing Stethoscopes ?
3. What is the Testing Method(s) for Testing the Stethoscopes ?
4. Which one is the Original -- the engraved Trade Mark or Printed Trade mark?
what stethoscope do you need as a medical student ? not a cardiology 3 or any other fancy one, any old basic Littman will do
I just got the MDF acoustica, and it sounds better than my Littman 3 but that’s probably just my ears
Hi..Can you please tell me what's the main difference between classic 2 & 3 besides the price point??
im watching this even though im not a med student, its just my dream
I love how you have one strung around your neck literally the whole time 💀
And the one struggling is the guy who thinks he knows better than the person who spent 30 years in medicine.
Guy spends 10 years then quits. Figure it out on your own
Young chap he is!
@@millsman9237what do you mean who are you talking about?
Digital things are prone to external factors, so avoid if possible in medical field (when possible), we never use digital thing for BP, heart sounds,
erka stethoscope finesse 2 is it good?
Stupendously explained. Littmann is the reference point.
If MDF is mentioned, ADC (American Diagnostic Corporation) stethoscopes should also. I have a Littmann Cardiology lll and an ADC Adscope Cardiology 602. Identical quality and performance.
ADC is not a common brand in the UK. I've only ever seen Littmann in use (hundreds), in the shops and a Thinklabs One once.
@@FrankEdavidson Littmann is the perfect brand and the quality reference that others try to imitate. ADC is also top quality and at a lower price. It is entering South America successfully. Greetings from Argentina. 🤝
Hi Ollie, thank you so much for the great info and tips! Just wondering, I see the lowest Littmann Classic III stethoscope costs £75. Would you say then it's possible to get it at a cheaper price when they do a promo or even after promo £75 is the lowest price we can get?
No, they cost about £75, if you can’t afford one speak yo finance
I paid $160 plus tax for mine. The place where I bought it seems pricey though.
I also have a question I want to become physician I see that u are really successful in your life and I can you make video what physician need to know what should I do when I'm about 14 year old I think lots of people want to know that to thank you Ollie !!!!
Just study hard, make a habit of keeping a structured studying routine and dont focus on ur classmates who say u don't need to study hard
For pulmonary Medicine
I mean, yes, I see the point that anything above Littmann Classic III is overkill for med students with little to no clinical training. But 1) stethoscopes can last many years, so you can over time develop the skills to match the instrument, and 2) the video does not acknowledge the med student with impaired hearing, for whom the Classic is insufficient.
It's not overkill really. Looking round the library and every student has multiple Apple devices, latest versions, some with fancy Wacoms, yet some grumble about buying even the cheapest stethoscopes for OSCEs so one wonders where priorities lie.
Cheap out and one buys twice.
I got the black with champagne chest piece but the tubing is very sticky and it gets very linty, is this a problem you face as well? and if it is how did you fix it, does it go away with time?
Thankfully not a problem I've ever had! Maybe give it a wipe down
Hello,
Thank you for the video. What is your take on electronic stethoscope in general? Could you please comment on any of benefits separately (recording and telemedicine capabilities, AI and automated analysis, improved acoustics, volume levels, noise canceling, frequency shift - ability to hear ultra low frequencies of cardiovascular system).
Hi Anton! I would suggest as a medical student absolutely not worth the additional investment unless you're extremely interested in cardiology
@@OllieBurtonMed I am not a medical person at all. I am interested in technology in general. Are those benefits of digital stethoscopes useful for medical professionals?
@@antonburdin9756 Oh I see, pardon me. I can only assume that they are, but I'm not a cardiologist. I would suggest that they're probably not useful for most doctors/surgeons, or at the very least I have never ever seen an electronic stethoscope outside a cardiology department, and even then it was a trainee that was using one, not a consultant. So to answer the question, yes, but probably only for a very small number of people.
@@OllieBurtonMed , thank you!
@@antonburdin9756 Invaluable in prehospital care at the roadside, in factories and other noisy environments where people inconveniently have accidents or take ill.
A necessity for hearing impaired clinicians and responders.
No tubing artefacts.
More easily packed into a kit pouch.
Might look less doctory, paramedicy, nursy or first respondery while using a purely electronic one such as Thinklabs One though.
Carry spare buds or circumaural headphones with a good IP rating and keep on top of charging.
Being highly pocketable has obvious advantages and disadvantages.
I'm not sure about repairability.
The Thinklabs is much more expensive in the UK than USA, so perhaps worth buying direct and paying import duty.
There are some good comparison reviews of electronic stethoscopes on UA-cam.
2:56 Classic range shown but annotated as Cardiology range.
Classic II and Classic III are not the same as Cardiology II and III. The Classic range are monitoring stethoscopes. The Cardiology II, III and now IV are in a different range of diagnostic stethoscopes which will be of more utility throughout one's career. The Cardiology range as well as picking up more subtle bruits crepitus is better by the roadside and other noisy environments. Consider an electronic stethoscope if hearing-impaired.
Brilliant video Ollie!
Have bought any other pieces of medical equipment? (Otoscope/suture practice kits etc)
And the biggest question, have you named your stethoscope?
I haven't named my steth I'm afraid 😅 and again no I haven't bought any kits either, although that may change
I bought a clinical hammer, sphygmomanometer, tuning fork and stethoscope
what about littmann classic 2? is it good for medical students?
Good enough. had it for years.
Hi Ollie, I noticed you said you were studying medicine through the graduate entry programme. Could I ask what you studied at undergraduate level, as this is a route that I am considering?
Hey Ali! I did Cellular & Molecular Biology at Newcastle University, applied for Warwick Med School in my third year of the course and started med school in the same year I graduated from Newcastle. Four years later I'm now in my final year at Warwick and am heading back to Newcastle for my Foundation Training.
@@OllieBurtonMed Do you train under the Deanery of the medical school you graduated from or the local deanery to the trust you where the FY programme is?
@@FrankEdavidson The latter - you apply to a Deanery first when you're applying for jobs, then individual jobs/posts within that Deanery. Your own med school has no influence on the process
I just bought my 9 year old one off eBay for £3. Lol
It said it's for nurses and vets...
I didn't know what the single head and dual head meant. Hence am here on UA-cam trying to find out.
Hello Ollie I'm just about to do my placement in ICU, but I wasn't sure if Littman classic 3 would suffice? What's your opinion on this? Thanks 😊
Hi William! A Littman 3 is more than enough for any medical student. Very genuinely all you really need to be able to pick up is an obvious murmur or abnormal breath sounds. Enjoy your ICU placement!
@@OllieBurtonMed thank you very much Dr Ollie!!
Does it has scratches on it with time or not?
Most probably
what's your opinion about MDF 979x (MDF ProCardial ERA Cardiology Lightweight)?
I have doubt to buy this model or Littmann 3 classic
I don't know I'm afraid pal as I've never owned one. My Littman has been absolutely perfect and I've never had a problem with it, I'm sure the MDF is probably just fine too but I can't say from experience.
MDF isn't a brand I've seen in the UK.
Actually the Littmann classic iii is considered expensive here 😆😆 compared to other brand,, you may can't believe but we can get a stethoscope with only $4 even $2 if you buy from ecommerce and it's not a no brand product
mcp stethoscope are cheaper and effective
why 7 comment :(
You’re so cute
