cringe...

just a note to register my total and utter mortification at being advised I was using stethoscope wrong way round by the GP...no wonder I didn't hear the heart murmur. A final year medic not knowing which way to use it! The shame.

(In my defence it wasn't my stethoscope, so I wasn't used to it. But the sooner I get a proper one instead of using my tinpot Bangladeshi one the better.)
