New Product: The Grumpometer

As any nurse or respiratory therapist will attest to, sometimes it's simply best to stay away from certain doctors or RT Bosses at certain times, or perhaps, if you must speak up for the benefit of a patient, it's best to be pithy and keep your mouth shut when spoken to in order to avoid controversy.

In other words, some people are hard to work with. That said, wouldn't it be nice to know if someone is approachable or whether they simply look grumpy and are actually in a normal mood. From the makers of the Amazing Wheezoscope we now have the Amazing Grumposcope.

The Wheezoscope, as you may remember, is a stethoscope produced by the Littman company a few years back that is pre-programmed to hear wheezes. The grumposcope is a stethescope made for both RNs and RTs that allows them to know whether other members of the medical field are approachable. And, yes RNs and doctors, it can be added to the wheezoscope because sometimes even RTs are grumpy.

Please note that the links referred to in the ad are no longer valid, as the ad was featured in RN
and doctor magazines between Oct. 19, 1997 and May 6, 2002, and on Internet websites during this same period.

So here, for the first time ever, and approved by the sagacious Jane Sage RRT, I present this ad on an RT web page where RTs can actually see this state-of-the-art product.

The neat thing about this product is it looks eerily similar to a normal stethoscope. If you aren't vigilant, you may never be able to tell the difference.
