Patients, what equipment do you have?

For online exams, it is interesting to get the patient to perform the actions required by the doc and provide feedback,

This can include measuring weight, temperature taking, blood pressure, etc.

Hence my question to patients: what equipment do you have which can be used during your cyber exam: thermometer, BP monitor, scale, others, maybe even vibrators?

Peter

Or proctoscopes? 😃

Don't forget speculums and steths 😃 you can get them pretty cheap. Some could use vibrators as a TVU wand. Anything is possible when you've got a great imagination!

Bp cuff thermometer speculum rectal spec proctoscope steth scale need i say more! lol -Linda

Stethoscopes, two bp cuffs, thermometer , exam gowm, ekg/defib unit, ambu-bag, o2 masks. thats about it for now

Stethoscopes (2), sphygmomanometer, various thermometers, two vaginal speculums, cotton swabs (for pap-smears), urinary catheters (straight caths)... um probably some other stuff since I work in healtchare but that's what I can think of right now. Of course I have sex toys too, but I don't count those as medical equipment.

Several stethoscopes ranging up to cardio, several blood pressure cuffs, thermometer, otoscope, gloves, tongue depressors, medical exam table, scale...

Just a steth here

Nothing here, but I've not had a virtual exam yet...

I just normally turn up, strip to my see through white mesh thing, for a few minutes, then end up naked for the rest of the night!

Sorry

I have: gloves, disposable masks, a thermometer, Wartenburg wheel (one of those sharp little pinwheels), stethoscope, and two vaginal speculums (plastic Graves and metal Collins), and swabs. I have a few vibrators as well, but I mainly stick with my Hitachi Magic Wand. I I really want an anal speculum or proctoscope, and a bp cuff.

And for female patients out there, it's really easy to get a free plastic speculum. A lot of times after a real (not play) exam, you can just ask for the speculum to take home (or just take it before they come in to throw it away). Just wash it off and it's good for at least one more use (as long as you're only using it on yourself).

I have a Stethoscope, thermometer, blood pressure cuff and some syringes and vitamin injections.

I have stethascope, BP cuff, scale

I have a stethoscope and bp cuff, and of course I've got my favorite, a patient gown. Since I'm very much into casts and braces as well I've got a lot of bandages and braces of various kinds too.

Thermometer: oral, rectal digital and glass

supositorys

I have - 2 stethoscopes (both have bell and diaphragm heads); 2 sphygmomanometers (1 aneroid, 1 digital); 3 quick & slow release tourniquets; 4 oral thermometers (2 glass, 2 digital); 3 rectal thermometers (2 glass, 1 digital)

Oh! and 53 tongue depressors! (but that's a long story 😉 )

I also have both glycerin and dulcolax suppositories, a bulb enema and gloves, but I don't really count them as 'medical equipment', they are more 'toys' - I keep them in a separate bag. But then again my rectal thermometers are in the same bag as the suppositories, bulb and gloves...

My 'shopping list' includes a pulse oximeter and anuscope/anal speculum. Maybe I should join the Playdoctors Group?

I have a large thermometer. I think it might be for veterinarian use. I found it at a yard sale. It came in a very nice black leather case. I keep it on my book shelf. Once in a while when I am feeling "frisky" I find other places to "store" it!

I have - ... 3 rectal thermometers (2 glass, 1 digital)

Make that 4 rectal thermometers - the above plus a new non-mercury one from amazon. See http://www.zity.biz/index.php?mx=forum;ox=display;topic=61348.msg470679#msg470679 (it just arrived this morning 😁 )

Just a steth, scale, and bp cuff

2 Littmann, and a digital bp monitor.

I have all the instruments required for an gyno exam

I have some Stethoscopes and a BP cuff

Four stethoscopes and a doppler.

Equipment to have as a patient? Stethoscope, BP cuff, thermometer, other "toys" lol. If you ever think of doing online exams, a working microphone or doppler would be cool too.

You don't actually need to have any instruments to enjoy online consultations, but they can enhance the experience for some. Maybe the way to go would be to try it first in order to determine if you like playing online then you could think about getting some items to use later.

A basic stethoscope, bp cuff and a thermometer for example can be sourced inexpensively via Amazon or Ebay.

I have a stethoscope, Bp cuff, thermometer and a vibrator

I basically have a stethoscope, a microphone, and some great ideas for how to use them.

I have just set up my first on line exam and don't have any specific equipment. Does this matter? And also any advice?

You don't actually need any specific equipment, try it out first then if it's what you enjoy you can consider getting some basic instruments.

As for advice.......Enjoy it!!

Steth, and bp cuff. Also I want to buy a scale. any recommendations?
