Abstract: A neck engaging support for a medical device or appliance that engages and is thus supported from the neck of a medical practitioner. More specifically, the present invention is a rod-like support device having a downwardly opening, generally U-shaped hook member dimensioned to fit around the neck of a user with the open area positioned in front of the chest region with one leg of the U-shaped member having a smaller hook for engagement with an IV bag in order to support the IV bag in elevated position without using the hands such as is frequently necessary during emergency situations when a patient is being conveyed on a stretcher from the site of the emergency to an ambulance, hospital or the like. The support of this invention enables the user of the device to actually carry one end of the stretcher while at the same time supporting an IV bag in an elevated position.
