A stethoscope having a light source includes a stethoscope head and flexible tubing coupled to the stethoscope head and in communication with ear pieces for the detection and transmission of sounds from a patient's body. A casing is affixed to a cover of the stethoscope head and has a light source mounted therein. A switch is operable mounted on the casing for activating and deactivating the light source. Notches extend intermediate the casing and cover for grasping the same during use. A first end of the casing is disposed toward a perimeter of the cover and has an aperture through which light is emitted. The first end is adapted for mounting thereon various instrument heads as an otoscope or opthalomoscope. The first end may extend beyond the perimeter of the cover for mounting thereon the instrument heads. In an alternative embodiment, the casing is detachably secured to the flexible tubing of the stethoscope.
