    Fun fact I learned waaay too late in my nursing career: if a patient has lost or damaged their amplifying hearing aid, you can put a stethoscope in their ears and talk into the bell.

    None of you will ever use this but I share it with everyone now because it’s really neat and I wish I knew it 10 years ago.

      My brother told me this. He said the disposable stethoscopes during COVID height were great for this.

      And I actually might as I intend to go EMS/EMS adjacent.
