- A stethoscope increases the chance of successfully cracking the Wall safes in the centre of the Rogues' Den main chamber and in the Thieves' Guild. It has no effect on any other thieving activity.

- Numerous types of lung sounds can be heard with a stethoscope. These sounds include wheezes, crackles, bronchial and vesicular sounds. Lung sounds will sometimes be called breath sounds. Physicians are trained how to use a stethoscope early in their careers. Despite the existence of much newer technologies, including the EKG, the stethoscope is still one of the physician's most important pieces of equipment. After only a little training, a physician can easily distinguish abnormal heart and lung sounds from those of a healthy patient.
- On Earth, most medical students and doctors had stethoscopes, which they used throughout their careers. (TV: Spearhead from Space, Robot, The Hand of Fear, The Christmas Invasion, Smith and Jones) Tina the cleaner's lodger was a medical student. Jackie took the lodger's stethoscope while she was asleep and Rose then used it to check that both of the newly-regenerated Tenth Doctor's hearts were working. When Rose later checked, only one heart was beating. (TV: The Christmas Invasion)
- Stethoscopes can be used to determine various statistics about living monsters, with more statistics being displayed for blessed stethoscopes then uncursed. Notice that status of stethoscope is revealed after using it first time. Also some monsters [primary undead and constructs] are immune to it. Statistics from an uncursed stethoscope follow this format: You examine the orc scorcher. Your diagnosis: DV: 12, PV: 1, Hits: 9. Statistics fom a blessed stethoscope typically follow this format: Cursed stethoscopes give the message "The stethoscope seems to be plugged." when you attempt to use them.
