How do you wear your stethoscope?

I usually wear mine hanging from my neck, sometimes around.

Draped around my neck. Because it's a veterinary scope, the tubing is quite long and it gets in the way otherwise. It's kind of like a dog's tail that can clear a coffee table!

Draped around my neck. If I sit the earpieces around my neck (with the scope hanging straight down) I find the pressure on my neck uncomfortable.

Draped around my neck with the scope over my heart.

Hanging from my neck. its a triple head stethoscope so its a bit bulky.

Draped around my neck, ear pieces on the left, electronic chest piece on the right.

Always around neck

I've found it works best when the ear pieces are in my ears.

Ohh you mean when I am not using it. 😁

I'll either drape it around my neck or hanging from my neck with the head tucked in my chest pocket.

Proudly

I'd say one in the pocket, one hung at the neck and one in the ears :-)

Well, as a true medical professional myself, I have to be honest with all of you, I do not carry mine on my person hardly ever. I keep in in the side of my med cart where I know it will be at all time, easy to get to, and not weighing me down. You would be surprised how heavy and cumbersom a good Littman scope gets in your pocket or around your neck after anyplace between a 10-16 hour shift. Plus, I only wear a brand of scrubs called Koi. While they are the best on the market as far as quality, style and fit, some of their scrub top are made of thin material, and at most of their tops running about 30 bucks a pop, I'm just not willing to have the pockets that need to carry all my other stuff in them, causing them to rip, and rendering them useless to me. So, my scope either stays on my med cart or in my nursing bag.

Around my neck or in the pcoket of my white coat

I like to wear it over the shoulders.

Around my neck or in the pocket of my labcoat

Over the shoulders most of the time but some times around the neck with the chest part in my shirt pocket

I think the doctor should look like he is ready for business in every way, including the way he wears the stethoscope. In my opinion, this means the doctor should have the ear pieces around his neck with the tubing and bell hanging down the middle of his chest over the sternum.

Around neck

Around my neck, although when I worked in surgery, I often kept it in the pocket of my lab coat.

Around the neck when I'm in the exam, into the pocket before the exam.

I don't like to wear it around my neck. I'll usually lay it down somewhere.

With pride!
