Seeing the steth laid out

Anyone else remember sitting as a kid waiting on the doctor and seeing the tools laid out? My pediatrician's nurse set out everything on the counter as my parents and I got me ready and I always remember being a little excited by the stethoscope laying there. Later doctors I had just wore one all the time but this guy apparently left one in each exam room.

I always remember being a little excited by the stethoscope laying there.

Me too! that was allways the first thing I noticed when as a kid went to the doctor. Still is, as a patient ( and I hate to go to the doctor - though I have a very attractive mid 40's female GP,) or as a "chaperon", when I went with girlfriends to her dotor's, GP's or gynecologists. Some doctors used around the neck, many have it layed down at the desk...

I was/am allaways fascinated when I go with any girlfriend to a gynecologist because here in my country gynos never auscultate the patients, they take the BP but that's all. Only one time I saw a female gynecologist auscultate my ex-wife's heart, but anyway they( the portuguese gynecologists) have it there allway and I'm fascinated about guessing if sometimes they use it.

I'm also intersted to know stories about other specialties doctor's such as gastro's or urologists performing auscultation...

For me it's not so much seeing the steth that excites me. I'm more excited when I see the nurse lay out two individual exam gloves and set them on the counter next to a container of lube! 😁

Yes, whenever I go into the doctor's office and see the stethoscope lying on the table, that does it for me! I just hope that he will ask me to unbutton the shirt and then use it on my body. I love being sounded with the stethoscope and always recall the details of the examination later

I too find the stethoscope incredibly exciting. I think that it shows authority. I prefer it draped around the doctor's neck.

Seeing it laid out does get me exicted and aroused. Even though it shouldn't. When it is draped around their neck that sense of authority is also very arousing. I enjoy it when the doctors aska me to unbutton my shirt so he can listen to my heart.

If any of you are interested I have a collection of probably 60 varieties of stethoscope I'll be glad to show them off on cam just come and say hi. There is a book I'm sure available on stethoscopes called "An Ear to the Chest" Skip the first paragraph - the cardiogist/author makes a horrenduous error - see if you can find it.

I´m getting fascinated when I go to my GP (a woman)and I see the stethoscope around her neck

I remember that as a kid--seeing the stethoscope laid out while waiting for the doctor, especially when I was fully clothed. There was always the question, "How much will I have to undress and for how long?"

I agree...seeing it laid out just builds the excitement...seeing a few different kinds laid out is even better.

Well laying it out is nice but around the neck is so much sexier

I get very excited as soon as i see a stethoscope! 😄

Seeing the steth apearing is exciting, as it would later be fit in the women's hears for me

Just seeing it lying on doctor's table makes my mouth go dry.

I love seeing the stethoscope laid out, makes my heart race just the thought that the doctor will use it at some point

Like carbonbrush, seeing the steth does make my mouth go dry, even if I know it's not going to be used on me during the exam.

If it is going to be used on me, I much prefer it around the doctor's neck though!

I like seeing it laid out or hanging off the knob of a cabinet

A few weeks ago I went to the med equip shop where I used to buy, and I saw the new full-glass show-case with steths inside. There were four different unpacked steths on the shelves. It was a heartbeat boosting spectacle.

It was always a pleasure to me to see steths hanging/laying around, but in this glass thing, it was amazing.

I agree with you.

I even saw last week a pretty young woman leaving her car in a parking lot and having a stethoscope around her neck. She noticed I looked at something whden she got close to me, smiled, and returned to her car to put it in the case...

The stethoscope hanging from the doctor's neck is what gets my attention, immediately

Today a girl pull up next to me in traffic with a steth hanging from her rear view mirror, it was an exciting turn on and got my attention. Because of traffic and clients with me I could not catch her, but think she was in scrubs.

My doctor and the doctors I've seen always wore theirs - even when I was younger.

At the pediatrician's as a kid there was always at least one stethoscope in every exam room. Usually they were hanging on a hook but sometimes laying on the counter. The sight of them always made me a bit nervous and sometimes made my heart pound!

Always. Later on I figured out what most of them were for or not!

The nurse would always lay out the stethoscope with all the tools and wen she left the exam room I would get up and use the stethoscope on myself while I was waiting for the doctor. Then I got caught by the doctor and now everytime he listens to my heart he gives me the stethoscope and let's me listen to myself and him as well

I always like to see the doctor with her stethoscope hanging straight down from her neck as opposed to being draped around her shoulders.

When I go into the doctors room the first thing I look for is a stethoscope. Sometimes she will be wearing it other times it will be on the desk. When you go in for your visit you never know if the doctor will use the stethoscope or not but when you are sitting chatting and she reaches for her stethoscope, it is just the best feeling ever. Your heart starts pounding and you get butterflies in the stomach and you just hope that the stething lasts a long time!

Indeed very true

I remember it very well and was always excited by it. Even more so recently though

I agree - when preparing to meet an examinee for a session I always take some care on how I lay out the equipment. It is exciting just placing the stethoscope, knowing that the patient will notice it when he arrives and knowing that I will shortly be using it on his body

Getting excited just seeing it on the table.....
