I had some free time on my hands these past few days so I decided to practice my photo-editing skills. A previous post inspired the fake ad below. Enjoy.

I bought the earlier model of this stethescope (assuming all the features are not a parody) and found the file system was proprietary and could not be transferred to a PC. I had intended to use it for teaching and was disappointed. I have been planning to buy the Welch-Allyn version since the Littman has now stopped working but may investigate this version.
