Review on GPI Anatomicals 261358 Otitis Auditory by Sam Simone

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal for pediatric practice

When I was a kid, I remember doctors who had at least 1 anatomical model in their practice. "Adult" doctors (like gynecologists) sometimes have a real model of an organ on their desks, but that's rare now. Now these are mostly posters made/distributed by a pharmaceutical company. I am now a 38 year old pediatrician. Explaining to parents why children often get ear infections from a poster is ridiculous. This model makes my work easier because, like all children, it has an almost horizontal Eustachian tube. I keep it in one of the examination rooms and move it to other rooms as needed. Holds up pretty well. The model has no detachable parts (ideal for small children), otherwise it is neat. The plastic model can rotate on a metal pole, which I find annoying and potentially dangerous. Snapping must be possible. The postcard is made of thick cardboard. I will laminate it to protect it from damage (coughing, spitting) and to be able to disinfect it. It's expensive, but worth it for my purposes.

Pros
  • Country of origin: China
Cons
  • Without machine gun
