I just wanna know if Podiatrist use stethoscopes I know this forum has a lot of many experienced podiatrists who have been in practice for many many years
Re: Do Podiatrists use stethoscopes in their practice
We use a doppler for our ABIs, and you need to use the same measuring instrument for ankle and brachial pressures. We have a stethescope in our dept, but it isn't used.

Re: Do Podiatrists use stethoscopes in their practice
The problem is with Dopplers that they do not drape so elegantly around the neck to give that brash and urgent look (a la Clooney) that you can get if you position the stethoscope just right. They also slip off, at least mine does, and that darned Nurse from next door keeps treading on it (the Doppler)
