Scope Coat

Why is a stethoscope the iconic accessory for a physician?

Look at any photo or image of an image-conscious physician: they wear a stethoscope and often a white coat. Why a stethoscope? Why not an ear or eye inspection scope (maybe on a chain)? Or a thermometer, sphygmomanometer, prescription pad, or mallet (for testing reflexes)?

I use my stethoscope far more often than I use an ophthalmoscope or otoscope, and those are available at every nurses station and in each clinic exam room. I do also carry a reflex hammer pretty much all the time, but that stays in my pocket. Why would I wear it? The stethoscope us often slung around the neck simply because it is a convenient place for it. It doesn’t fit well in pockets.
