Got a Stethoscope!

A couple days ago, I took a big step towards my future medical career! My cousin sent me a stethoscope as an early birthday present! Needless to say I was pretty stoked!

My new stethoscope! I feel so official now

Someone that I immediately thought of when I saw the packaging was Louis Litt from the TV show "Suits". I couldn't help it since the stethoscope was "Littmann" brand. Anyways, after the initial shock of getting a stethoscope wore off, I proceeded to open the package. Nothing too crazy, seemed like a typical stethoscope to me. Then again, I could totally be wrong and this might be the most epic stethoscope in the world.. I guess I'll find out in a couple years lol.

Like the typical nerd I am though, rather than immediately play with my new toy (i mean medical tool), I went ahead and read the manual. In retrospect, I really wasn't sure what I was expecting from the manual though. I guess I just wanted to make sure how to properly use it just in case I found the 1/1 million way to break the stethoscope. Nothing too insightful though, just how to clean the stethoscope after a while. 

 The handy dandy manual!

So after reading through the manual, I went ahead and started playing with my new stethoscope! The first thing I checked was my own heart beat. I heard nothing... Just kidding! It was pretty cool listening to my own heart beat! My parents were also sharing in my excitement and proceeded to ask me to listen to their heart beat. We probably looked really silly, but whatever it was a lot of fun.

Would you trust this future doctor? :p

Anyways, it's slowly starting to hit me that I'll be beginning medical school in a little over a month and a half. I'm definitely excited and nervous as heck, but I know God is with me so everything is going to be alright! Thanks for checking in and I'll see you guys next time! :D
