Which colour is nice for a stethoscope?
-
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?

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!

Burgundy
red has always been my passion

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

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!

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

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.

Purple for me.

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. -

You can rename them by calling the colours:
Black = Twilight Black
Navy Blue = Lunar Blue
Caribbean Blue = Carribbean Blue
Hunter Green = Amazon Green
Burgundy = Sunset Red
Cell Blue = Alpine Blue
Purple = Hawaiian Purple :P
