is an orange stethoscope professional?

[haywood415]

i'm ordering a MagnaFortis MetaCardia LT.11 next week and want to get it in orange. orange is my favorite color but i'm afraid it may come off as unprofessional looking? a few of my EMS friends have scopes in purple, green, blue, etc plus MagnaFortis offers more stethoscope colors than a box of crayons! so im thinking its probably fine and im just over thinking it. do you guys and girls think a orange stethoscope is unprofessional or should i just go for it?

Seriously.....relax. It's not that big of a deal. If necessary seek prescribed pharmaceutical help.

Go into a hospital and look at all the various colors used by MDs, RNs, and Techs

Get eye protection

Ask me if I think an orange tattoo is professional....

Depends, does the orange stethoscope match the jumpsuite?

Sure! No one will nab it either. Had a male partner get a bright pink one so no one would dare snag it!!

cool. i had a feeling i was thinking a little too much into this. besides since im buying such a nice piece, i should get what i want. as for people snaggin it, im also getting it engraved too. but bright orange and my name on it should stop people from jacking it.

HOW TRUE.... Orange will clash with the red on my uniform soooo much...

Orange would be practical in that you will see it when you drop it.

Orange is okay

As long as it works for you, it should be fine! It also might be more appealing to children and young adults and might help them feel less nervous when you're using it on them.

The color orange sends me in to hysterical fits due to a traumatizing experience I had at the age of 10 in the produce department.

I got so tired of people "borrowing" and never returning my trauma shears. So I got some hot pink ones and strangely enough not only have the requests decreased, but I always get them back.

as a bonus I can also see them at night when I drop them on the ground.

The only professional color for stethescopes are hot pink. No one will take it and it means I like healthy breasts. I like both counts in no particular order.

Currently my stethescope color is raspberry, it's a nice bright pink. (I go through these things like candy, it seems.). I don't think it's possible to have an unprofessional scope.

You're talking to a guy who used to have a cover on his stethoscope (it was hospital policy for some reason) that had skulls and crossbones on it. But I agree....one really has to try to make it unprofessional.

*stirs the pot*
What about having my EFMB tattooed on my forearm with the words "A time to kill, a time to heal" around it?

You really had to have steth covers?? I would think that would spread patient ickies a lot easier then a plain naked scope you could wipe down with a cancer wipe inbetween patients.

And I think the covers are tacky looking, anyway.

 

[usafmedic45]

Yeah, the idea was it allowed us to wash our stethoscope covers and minimize buildup of dirt etc, blah, blah, blah. Most of us hated them and the rule was quickly (after about 3 months) repealed.

But you couldn't wash them between patients, could you? Perhaps I'm a bit paranoid but while wiping down the stretcher inbetween calls I also wash down my scope, tubing and all, between patients. Don't want the alphabet (MRSA, KPC, VRE, CDT, VRSA, etc. ) on something that comes in close proximity of my head
