Must buy
I was able to purchase not one but two stethoscopes as a "Deal of the Day", able to choose from a variety of color, great price! Delivery was fast, ordered them on Sunday were received by Wednesday. One to the west coast, the other to the Midwest. They were gifts, to relatives that are beginning nursing school.
