This is what I get on my first day in KL, The Littmann Stethoscope Snap on Rim. There are few who asked me
what the heck what issit? Mmm... basically it is just a piece of
expensive rubber/plastic to hold the diaphragm in place (to the chestpiece of the stethoscope). I bought it at
8:30 am on Thursday morning. Fifteen minutes after I bought the rim, I got a phone call from
ayam panggang Will reminding me to buy the stuff. The next day, I get another last minute reminder from
Pink Cotton via sms
"Don forget to buy.. erm.. buy the.. dono wat thingy, ok?" Hahaha, cute lah her :D
A piece of rubber like this costs me RM25... I have changed the rim twice since it is
"fragile".
My good old Littmann Stethoscope (still as good as new), which has accompanied me faithfully since 1994 - with the
new Snap on Rim but
old Diaphragm,
old Chestpiece,
old Binaurals and
old Ear tips.

The price keeps going up lah. My rim broke and I changed it once... after that my stet 不见去。 Twice. I said.. forget it. Haha. I use the hospital stets now. The nurse carry it for me. Leaves my hands free ;-).
ReplyDeletepink cotton,
ReplyDeletenow consider cheaper liao.. The price in Sarawak was even more expensive :)
Few years back, I bought the similar Littmann Stethoscope snap on rim in Sarawak (in one of the medical shop in Saberkas in 1999), the price there was RM 30 leh...
*faint kaw kaw* at your mineral water bottle tut plastic ring :P
that other "rimming" LB talking about ah.. u dun have to know the meaning lah :P Hehhehhee
bernard,
I bought it for RM 30 previously in Kuching when I worked in Sarawak General Hospital (in 1999). I thought this time the price will be more expensive but I'm "wrong". Hehehe, things are still more expensive in Sarawak ;)
I don't really like the hospital steth cos of the quality, esp those stethoscope used by the nurses for manual BP monitoring.. most of the time I use my own steth if possible and if the situation allowed me to do so,
Rim.. Rim.. Rim.. your Stet..
ReplyDeleteGently Round the End..

*faint*
Errr.. Sotong has heart beat wan meh?
That rubber rim cost RM25 meh?
ReplyDeleteWith a little ingenuity, you can use the rim of condoms to replace that. LOL
your rim has gotten quite popular hoh :P so thats how it looks like. What's the main function of the thing? To prevent outside noise to interfere the kedebuk kedebak kedebuk kedebak sound kah?
ReplyDeleterimming is 18sx?
ReplyDelete*rub chin*
HAPPY NEW YEAR DOC!
u noe wat i mean ehh... :P
ReplyDeleteCocka,
ReplyDeleteFew years back, I bought it even at higher price (RM30) in Sarawak leh... :P
Rim of condom to replace?
wah...
cannot lah..
the appearance manyak cheap skate :P
JL,
Hehhe, this is how the humble little fella looks like :) Its function is very simple - to hold the diaphragm (the plastic layer) to the chestpiece. Last time when the rim was broken, I used the Cellophane Tape temporarily to do the job, works pretty good but looks unsightly :P
13th panda,
Hehhe, we are talking about the "other meaning" of rimming :P
Wishing u & Oink & Mango a merry new year too :)
ah nel,
gua sik faham apa lu cakap woh :P
hahaha...
Oh, rupa-rupanya ini!
ReplyDeleteHehe.
