CS 100 Doctor's Pen

Recommended Posts

OK, you pushed me...

Here is a CS 100 Doctor's Pen SLE, a beautiful writer and a perfect pen in every sense...

I choosed as Background the first page of My grandfather's Anatomy Lecture Notes (St. Bartholomew's Hospital, 1914) ...

He's got some bony initials! :clap1:

That thing is gorgeous. So nice to see a Doctor's Pen that isn't white!

 

The run of that pen was tiny, wasn't it? Well under 1000, if I remember?

Holy Jeez, that's a lot less than I thought, even!

 

*sigh* Maybe someday, after med school, and residency, and paying off student loans...

Congrats on a truly handsome pen - the texturing of the resin really makes a big difference in the look and feel of the pen.

 

I am puzzled and cautious about the designers' intent to market this as a "Doctor's Pen."

 

The texturing of the cap and barrel makes the pen very difficult to disinfect after a day on the wards, or after a day in the clinic. There are too many seriously bad humours (MRSA, VRSA) in hospitals to neglect disinfecting our frequently used tools (stethescope, reflex hammer, and pen).

 

Because the CS Doctor's Pen Series are all made of resin, they cannot be simply wiped down with an alcohol swab - alcohol turns the resin to mush.

 

Read this tragic little thread: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/in...cohol+Montblanc

 

Perhaps the CS Doctor's Pens are better suited for after hours. A smooth metal VP is more easily disinfected with an alcohol swab, and is safer for patients and family.

 

Oh - and kudos to your grandfather at St Bartholomew's - I wish my notes from medical school were that artistic.

And they were better doctors for that immersion and sacrifice. We should learn more from our forebearers. Much of their focus and dedication is missing from modern medicine.

 

Thanks for sharing the stunning pen and the priceless family journal.

Yes, I agree with you. The profession needs formation of both, the scientific and the personal aspects, both very extensively. I'm already a 4th generation in this art, I was lucky to breath every day at home the meaning of it... that's an advantage indeed. Thanks for your input... but may I use the pen at the office? I promise not to use it in the infectious ward!!! :D

BTW, it is black hard rubber, not acrylics like the British one... with its cons and pros

I'll try and locate one for myself when I get a perfect score on my step 1 :roflmho: Probably never but absolutely beautiful pen.

 

Why is the name CS100 when only 50 was made? My brother just got matched for residency and he scoffed at my fascination with fountain pens, saying "surgeons don't use fancy fountain pens." I'm deeply hurt. :embarrassed_smile: :headsmack:

The CS100 name goes back to when the original Conway Stewart company was around..........it was the

largest pen model that CS ever made.

Truly beautiful pen and some of the nicest pen photography I've seen as well. The journal makes for a remarkable background.

I beg to differ!

 

I have been participating at pen shows in Europe and the throughout the US since 1993 and have met quite a few surgeons who enjoyed collecting and using fountain pens.

 

The CS Doctors pen was originally made for Kevin Cheng of Internet Pens. Kevin is a wonderful person and practices medicine. This edition was the first time that the model 100 was made in black ebonite with a chase engraving and silver trim. The edition was a great success for Kevin and sold out very quickly. About a year later, CS made a Doctors pen for a UK doctor in resin with permission from Kevin.

 

Kevin's second CS exclusive is the Appellation. The design idea of the Appellation was drawn from his passion of fine wine. The pen is based on the Wellington model and this is the first Wellington limited edition pen. I feel confident that the Appellation will be as successful as the Doctors pen.

 

I love the photography of the Doctors pen in this post and the background is fantastic. Thank you for sharing.

 

Regards,

Indeed a nice pen and very nice photography.

 

I have considered ordering this pen, but decided against it as I find that the cadduceus is not the proper sign for a doctor. This should be the rod of Asklepios, or Aesculap rod/staff (single snake curling around a staff)

The cadduceus is actually the sign of mercurius that somehow started to get used, improperlu, as a medical sign.

 

Actually, I hope there will be a "third edition" doctorspen with the Aesculap rod. You can put me on the list for that one.

 

 

The remark about surgeons not being allowed to enjoy nice fountainpens is silly nonsense. Many members here on FPN are doctors and enjoy fountainpens and writing with them. Writing with a good fountainpen helps you focus your thoughts on the writing. That can never be wrong when you are dealing with the health and lives of other people.

Towards the end of last year, I helped with designs on producing a CS pen for a brain surgeon. The logo I put forward for the cap band was elegant and understated. It was an image that would be easily identified by fellow surgeons.

 

Kind regards,

Oh, Pepin, he is already thinking of student loans. The poor guy is living off of ramen noodles, mountain dew and pop-tarts. :crybaby:

Hurry and get him a Waterman Phileas or a Cross ATX, so he can impress the Chief.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o
    • adamselene
      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
