In today’s episode of Dr Nora, I take you through my ultimate 10+ year review of which is the best stethoscope to use as a medical student, GP or allied health professional.
Throughout time, I have used several scopes and by far my favourite is the Littmann Classic III. It has stood the test of time and hasn’t deformed nor have any puncture marks developed.
Thanks for watching and if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to leave me a comment in the comments section below or pop by and see me in clinic.
Take care and stay healthy.

I have been in a fortunate position to be able to educate and inspire the doctors of tomorrow a number of times in my career so far. As a student myself once, I valued hearing about the experience of others, as often more could be learned from this than books.
What piece of advice would you give to others knowing what you know now?
It’s great to be back at work seeing my patients for all of their medical needs. Whether you need a check up or want to discuss a niggle in your toe, be sure to pop by and see me in clinic.

Join me in today’s episode where I chat to the VP of the General Practice Student Network - a society providing medical students with knowledge about a career in General Practice. I ask Alex why he chose medicine and the best and worse things about the course inspiring many others like him.
Whether you’re studying for an exam or learning to master your craft, sometimes it can be hard to stay motivated. Here are my tips to keep your momentum.
- Break down the topics you are learning. Rather than trying to learn everything at once break up subjects into manageable chunks.
- Get into a routine. Allocate time during your day to study and turn off any distractions during this time.
- Take regular breaks. You could try taking a break after achieving a task making your breaks feel well deserved.
- Keep hydrated and fed. Your brain is working hard so make sure you fuel it up efficiently.
- Don’t hibernate from the world. It is important for your physical and mental health to still go out and do regular activities such as seeing friends or shopping. This can even help make you feel refreshed for your next task.
