If the stethoscope is an essential diagnostic tool used exclusively for work, why is it treated as a personal expense instead of being covered by employer?

Wait 5 sec.

As the title suggests, it seems like a practice we've grown complacent to accepting. There's no reason why an employer would not cover even high end stereoscopes when it is quite clear that it is a crucial tool for work and, all things considered, is relatively inexpensive for the employer and requires very little maintenance, if at all. Anybody ever challenged this with hospital or health system administration? If so, how did it go? I think we need to start demanding at least the basics as clinicians.   submitted by   /u/WhiteVans [link]   [comments]
