I feel like the stethoscope has become more of a symbol than an actual tool. It has limited uses, you can listen to someone's breathing, oscillate their bp, and a couple of other things but I mean I don't know that it is so important that everyone has to be wearing one all the time, and that we can't use the cheap disposable ones that are used in trauma bays. I feel like it is mostly a way of saying hey look I do medical stuff or a way to represent your status. Also with the diversity of stethoscopes I feel like people also use it to express their personal tastes too. Like how people add something to their school uniform to show their individualism. Let me know what you guys think..
