I know people say that it depends on the rotation or specialty...but where does YOUR stethoscope go: around the neck, on the waist, or in the pocket?
Hip holster. Wearing it on your neck degrades the tube. And it looks lame.
Um...and this doesn't look lame?

Oh no...please tell me you're joking!![]()
Back when I was an EMT, one of the "Rescue Randys" actually kept his stethoscope draped over the rear-view mirror of his car, like a pair of fuzzy dice! For all I know, he wore it into bars to pick up chicks, too.![]()
As for the "casually-slung-over-one-shoulder" method, I recall that being popular with some of the peds residents. It looked rather precarious, to me...I tried it once, but it wouldn't stay put.

What? With your manly, broad shoulders?![]()
I knew somebody was going to say something like that.![]()
Only because I am a fellow sufferer. I can't even wear a bag on my shoulder if I have a coat on, slides right off...must be my ape-like surgical training stoop and hunched shoulders.![]()
Or, you could look here.

I like to wander the halls with my stethoscope pointed at people. Much like a weapon.
I find attendings/residents/interns/patients/and office administration afraid of a sexual harassment lawsuit tend to send me home early when I sport this look.

Thankfully, these days my scope gathers dust. I love pathology.
I guess I'm also horribly out of the loop because I had no idea there were cool and not-cool ways to wear a scope. Seriously?!?

Gotta hate all the political correctness regarding wearing a stethoscope. Is it cool or geeky or practical or LAME? I'll jump in on the around-the-neck gang. I don't even wear a white coat anymore (MS4)...guess I will for a couple years when I get that long one...woohoo!!!
Do you know what political correctness means?
