I know we are required to wipe the stethoscope with alcohol before examining each patient. I’ve heard that it's really time consuming. Is it a big deal if I skip it?

It is not mandatory but many people recommend it coz its more hygienic and hopefully the SP will appreciate the effort...I panned to do it but forgot after my first 2 patients...its not really time consuming though...u do it while talking about the complaints...totally ur choice actually
