Stethoscope Hiding?

To those of you who have or had to hide their stethoscope: Where did you hide them? Did someone (like your parents) find them?

My parents came to stay since we carpooled to a wedding. I put it in an old purse in the back of my closet.

I couldn't hide it from the very beginning, so I put it in my home first aid kit with an explanation that it was a spare stethoscope for a pressure measuring device. I wonder when I want to buy another stethoscope, what will I have to come up with....:-)))

I hide mine in a drawer. I've had an ex find them before now, but I did mistakenly leave it out of the drawer

I used to just keep mine in a backpack. But now they've been moved to a sports bag. As a soccer player, it's pretty inconspicuous.

While still at my parent's place I used to hide my medical material behind a wall's cache

Nothing kinky about a stethoscope so why hide it from anyone at any age it would by like where do you hide your BP monitor

True, but I bought my 1st one before my 17th, so… :-)

Having around 20 steths total now, I’ve had to upgrade them from a tiny nightstand drawer to their own big drawer on the bed frame. 😜

Hiding them in a box, in the drawer of my desk. Never been found 😃

I never had to hide mine. I wear it around my neck except when driving. Don't wear your stethoscope around your neck while driving. I had left work one morning around 0200. I was stopped at a stop light on a four-lane road. There were not many cars on the road. Then all of a sudden BAM. Some girl on her phone smashes into me. My stethoscope flew off and hit the windshield cracking the windshield and bending my stethoscope. She had a new car with a paper plate so I could not get a license plate. I ended up paying for a new windshield and stethoscope. Now I keep it in the passenger seat. The reason I had been wearing it around my neck which I do at work anyway but it was so I would not forget it in my car. It gets extremely hot in a car here. It will melt the chest pieces and tubing.

My printer sits on a small storage ottoman. It would be a logical spot to store printer paper and ink, but I keep other things in there. No one's gotten curious enough to look.

Now that you told us that you use that for other stuff, whoever comes to visit you that’s the first place they are going to look. LOL

Sometimes I choose people I like they could see my stethoscopes. So I once made my steth visible, on my writing desk when a housemaid came to clean up my home. When she entered my room, she noticed the steth so while cleaning she asked if I could auscultate heart and lungs, so when I told I certainly could, she shyly asked me if I could steth her as she didn't feel well with the breath.

Have you ever done such kind of action with your steth?

Stethingyou, If I found myself in that situation I’d probably make a disclaimer that I’m not really a medical professional & don’t have the training to diagnose everything. Btw, did you get to auscultate on bare skin?

I keep a lot of ammo cases and range bags in my closet. One of the range bags is full of med fet toys, including my stethoscope. I keep a combination lock on it, just like the ammo cases and range bags so it blends right in. Wife has never been suspicious of it. I suspect she thinks it's full of ammo, extra optics or cleaning supplies.

Shane73, of course I did, I told her I could auscultate her chest with no diagnose at all, only what I could hear from it. She agreed anyway.

Stethingyou, so was she topless or did you just have her unbutton her blouse?

Shane73, she just took off her shirt and unhooked her bra as I ordered her to do

How did you auscultate her? where did you begin, and how many spots on chest and back?

And were her nipples erect?

I don't own one but I'm seriously thinking about getting one, and I know if I do I will have a hiding place for it, even though in my own private space I have nobody to hide it from, but I'm a secretive person by nature and I know full well that if I don't make a habit of hiding it then one day I'll invite someone in and it will be in full view and I'll end up inventing some story about how it's a present I recently bought for a friend of mine who's a doctor and then wondering forever if they bought it. I actually do have a friend who is one, but I somehow know that story wouldn't work regardless. I'd only ever want to show this side of myself to someone very trusted, so yes I would be a hider.

In any case, he would definitely be lying in a secluded place, but perhaps under the guise of an addition to the pressure measuring device. I think there will be fewer questions then. Another thing is if it is hidden in a hiding place, such as a sex toy.

When I was growing up, under my bed for a long time, or in a random closet shelf.

When I was in college and living in the dorms, I would hide it in the space between my bed and the wall (my bed was up against the wall). I would sneak it out when my roommate wasn't there sometimes and I knew I would be alone for a while. When I was living alone after moving out of the dorms, it wasn't such a big issue and they could kind of go where ever.

That said, it was definitely a little bit tough with dating. I really wanted to have that cardiophilia experience with others, but was very skittish to let it out of the closet so to speak. A couple of times I casually left them out though to see where the experience went =)

@long lee:

Did you have any experiences to talk about when you laid them outside?

Back when I got my first steth as a teen, I hid it in a closet inside a box that was buried under other stuff. Now I just keep my steths in my nightstand.
