Once you, were in my... Rearview mirror

Does anybody, or has anybody, ever hung a stethoscope in their rearview mirror? I see it frequently while on the road. I assume the person driving is in the medical field, but one never knows. I have had a stethoscope in my rearview for many many years now. My car has lots of NY Giants paraphernalia on it and the steth has a NY Giants steth cover over it. My excuse to people is that i'm a huge Giants fan and the steth adorns the car further. Though very true, It's merely part of the truth.

When I was an EMT, my steth used to hang from my mirror. Back then, I wasn't into medfet play. I'm not deeply involved in it now, but I do enjoy catheter and enema play.

So are you in the medical field or is your steth just a prop and a signal to other medfets?

I'm not in the medical field. I just have a "thing" for stethoscopes because of my miniscule heart fetish. Steths and hearts go hand-in-hand, or hand-to-heart..hahaha, early morning funny.

HECK NO! I paid good money for my Littman. I am not going to have the extreme temperatures that accumulate in a car ruin the tubing and warp the other non metal parts. I also don't want it lost in case my car has uninvited strangers that get into it. I keep mine in good condition and it's well taken care of! I have dream catchers that hang in my windows and things of that nature. A stethoscope would actually detract from it.

I do carry it with me when I fly in my carry-on luggage. There are times it has been put to use on a flight when medical assistance is asked for. I also have a lovely matching B/P unit and soft carry case that hold them both. I do plan to add a high quality pulse oximeter to it

.......just my thoughts.......

I certainly do not want my car to advertise the fact that it belongs to a doctor!

'No tools kept in this vehicle overnight'.... 😃

cd.

I know that when I see one on a rear view, I near break my neck trying to get a look at who's driving😃

Always wondered if the girls hang it there as kind of an advertisement. A lot of guys have a thing for nurses......Just wonder if they do it to toy with us? Any female med professionals do this? Any thoughts on it?

I couldn't imagine ever hanging one from my mirror. At the apartment I used to live one of my neighbors had one hanging. I never found out who it was. I always liked seeing it as I'd walk to get my mail.

I have seen it many times. It bugs me because it just turns sexual for me. I want to just sit there and hope a good looking women comes in and gets in the car!! LOL

Friends of mine would hang their stethoscopes on mirrors for a variety of reasons. Some did it so they wouldn't forget it at home. A lot of people I know do it because certain police officers have been said to "go easy" on nurses. I never did because you can actually break the tubing if you leave it in a cold environment and then try to bend it before it's warm.

No, I've never seen that...

I see it a lot myself. It's almost always a cheaper steth too.

Seen it a couple of times!

That's an interesting notion...hanging one so a police officer would go easy on you. To further elaborate maybe one could wear scrubs over your clothes while driving. I have a cheap, older stethoscope that I don't use anymore now that I have my Littman that might just be perfect...

I've never seen a steth in cars here, it's not usual.
