Wearing the stethoscope

Several days ago I gave my mother a lift to bring the cat to the vet, and there was a gorgeous girl wearing the stethoscope around the neck with the head placed correctly just above the left boob....

I couldn't watch her in eyes :-) :-) :-)

I wear mine with the ear tips over my left breast and the bell diaphragm over my right breast. I use a Littmann Cardiology III. The reason I wear it like that is because I have pens in my left breast pocket depending on the scrub top I wear. I have had diaphragms broken by pens.

I guess the points on the pens would pierce or split the diaphragm? I knew the pen was mightier than the sword, but that takes things to a new level!

Always around the neck for me. When me and my Mum did a refugee simulation a few months back we played Doctors and we both wore ours around our necks as did the vast majority of the other volunteers. I did occasionally dangle it from my neck when I had checked someone's heart and was going round the back to their lungs as it was only a few minutes out of their ears. Once I had listened to their lungs though it went back around my neck

I don't really have a preference.

If I'm the doctor, I prefer to keep it in my pocket - but if the patient wants it a certain way I'd consider it.

I prefer keep it tubing around the neck.

For me, number 2, always loved the way it looks.
