Memory from a short stethoscope?

Not all stethoscope is the same lenght, and some are shorter than usually.

Do you remember a situation where you was the patient (real or play) or the doctor (real or play), where it was used a short stethoscope to listen with?

How did it feel?

I have a short Littmann Cardiology 4 stethoscope. But i have no patient to use it on.

My stethoscopes have fairly long tubes. I remember being auscultated by a doctor once, who had a shorter length stethoscope so she had to come a little closer to take a listen. I would prefer a shorter stethoscope for playing, I think.

Yes recently, I have a strange experience... Annual physical exam..., the stethoscope used by the lady doc, had a very short tube... Unfortunalty, impossile to see the brand, but when she auscultated my heart, her head was very close to my chest... strange situation!
