A '''stethoscope'''<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2016/02/pro-and-cons-stethoscope/ Pros & Cons of a Stethoscope]</ref> is a relic of the past still used by medical professionals to pretend like they're hearing something on physical exam<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2014/05/orthopedic-surgeon/ Orthopedic Surgeon Finds Strange Sound with Stethoscope, Striker Rep Unable to Determine Source of Noise]</ref>, though they're going to order imaging<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2015/06/radiology-study/ Ever Wonder How Radiologists Know What Studies to Recommend?]</ref> anyway. It is irregularly shaped, so much so that it is quite ineffective when used as a boomerang. Most experts believe that the '''stethoscope''' will follow the path of the doctor's head mirror and fade away in the next 5 years.
There are several types of '''stethoscopes''':
# '''Doctor's stethoscope'''<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2015/09/nurse-stethoscopes-2/ Littmann to Produce Separate Doctor and Nurse Stethoscopes Thanks to “The View”]</ref> - This is a '''stethoscope''' used specifically by doctors for doctor things (listening to heart, lungs, etc.).
# '''Nurse's stethoscope'''<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2015/09/opinion-nurse-stethoscopes/ Nurses Have Stethoscopes: What Do You Think?]</ref> - This is a '''stethoscope''' used specifically by nurses for nursing things (listening to heart, lungs, etc.)
# '''Nurse practitioner's stethoscope''' - This is a '''stethoscope''' used specifically by nurse practitioners for nurse practitioner-related things (listening to heart, lungs, etc.)
# '''Physician assistant's stethoscope''' - This is a '''stethoscope''' used specifically by physician assistants for physician assistant-related things (listening to heart, lungs, etc.)
# '''Medical student's stethoscope''' - This is a '''stethoscope''' loaned to any of the above because they forgot their own stethoscope
# '''Contact precaution stethoscope'''<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2014/11/stethoscope/ Styrofoam Cup Outperforms Crappy Disposable Stethoscope]</ref> - Piece of shit, throw it away (see Figure 1.)
