This is a purely nonsensical, vanity question. Sure the colour of the stethoscope won't affect its efficacy, but I'm thinking that since I don't want my stethoscope in black since it will easily get mistaken as someone else's in the ward and thus go missing, I'm just wondering which colour appears 'pleasant' from someone else's point of view.

Also, I don't want my patients to think funny thoughts and get distracted by the colour of my stethoscope or something.

Please click the link, scroll down to the bottom of the page, and you'll see seven colours that are available for the model of stethoscope that I've decided to purchase.

Caribbean Blue nice or not?

elindra SG

I like cell blue or navy blue

Personally I like Burgundy best but I think that colour might freak ppl out coz it's like the colour of blood

Hanor! You're quite imaginative!

The cell blue one is quite pretty. I've seen the navy blue one - it's almost like black, hard to distinguish.

Thanks for sharing your preference!

You know what, the other day, I showed av a Raspberry-coloured stethoscope cause I was considering a cheaper model then and they had Raspberry and Pink and he said that stethoscopes should be black. Seeing all the colours available traumatised him!

Burgundy

red has always been my passion

elindra SG

Lol don't go for the Caribbean Blue. It reminds me of mould

I think Cell Blue is the best bet though the colour could mean it gets dirty fast

Rhonda SG

Burgundy

red has always been my passion

Pinky Bear said Burgundy resembles blood too much leh!

Skarli, if dealing with patients with acute psychosis or those who are high on drugs, they might think that I have a rope of blood or something and attack me.

I always wipe down my stethoscope with alcohol swabs every shift.

There is a limited edition stethoscope that is completely black, and even the metal bell is black! It looks very sleek!

Rhonda SG

I went to look at the Caribbean Blue again... not nice meh?

Look like mould leh

A bit like an off colour of blue cheese mould :P

Rhonda SG

Don't know... black stethoscopes are way too common... hard to differentiate which is yours during times like emergencies where someone else may walk off with yours!

I think I'd better engrave mine and buy a special name tag for it too! Kiasu a bit cause it isn't exactly cheap.

maurizio13 SG

Purple for me.

But the word "Carribbean" has such pleasant implications leh!

You can change purple to hawaiian purple if it makes ya happy.

Sigh... I'll slowly take time to make a decision... Might have to decide by the end of the week cause I can't get around too long without a stethoscope.
