Sisters acting badly

[bunyip]

Youngest daughter has just started working in coronary care in a private hospital and decided to buy herself a new stethoscope, eldest daughter came home and saw it and put them on to see what they were like (youngest is a nurse, eldest at med school).
Put them on and looks away as youngest flicks the end with her finger, I almost had to break up a cat fight and I know it hurts when you get that done to you.
Was a Littman set that is a better unit than her old ones with a higher sensitivity.

Return the good one and buy them each their own from HF.

My Dr told me to buy a stethoscope and take my own BP. He said his cost $350.
I bought a $10 scope.
What a difference.

I was an EMT on an ambulance crew for many years. Back in the 80s the eletronic BP monitors were just being developed but we were not allowed to use them due to being unproven technology. Now I see the hospitals and ambulances routinely use the electronic BP monitors - supposedly they are more accurate, more consistent than a human taking a blood pressure. I still use my own cuff and stethoscope to check my BP.
But a stethoscope is used for so much more than just BP monitoring and I suppose an expensive one, quality one like the Littmann, would work better when listeing for things like heart murmurs, lung sounds, etc. Not to mention it would probably last longer - the tubing cracks and disintegrates on the cheap units.

The point I was making was that it hurts your ears when someone taps the 'microphone', this was far from a tap.
Littman have an excellent reputation and her old one was a Littman, the new one is just a better and more responsive unit recommended for coronary care staff.
Girls can be so catty at times.
She is also undergoing a course so she is able to perform adrenaline injections to the heart, it is a specialised unit as are most such as Oncology etc etc.

... as youngest flicks the end with her finger, I almost had to break up a cat fight...

So, did you have to send them to their rooms?

They are bigger than me.....

Having raised two daughters that were not always on the same wavelength, I can imagine that scenario, but the acting out was pretty much over by the time they got to high school. I hope this incident was just a flash in the pan.

I had 2 boys.
They both had girls.
One had twins and the other had 3 girls.

Girls do fight like cats.
Glad I had boys.

I would get out the video recorder and some popcorn. Show them later how childish they looked with arms flailing about
