A stethoscope is such a simple piece of equipment and yet it can yield volumes of information about a person. This important tool is a good representation of my weekend at work. Through it I've heard a loud newborn murmur, wet newborn lung sounds, soft belly noises, crying, and hushed breathing. Sometimes I like what I hear. Sometimes I don't. But I'd certainly be lost without it at work and I usually have it around my neck for the full 12 hours I'm there. Hat's off to my friend the stethoscope!
