JPEG file comment | Laennec stethoscope made by Laennec, c.1820. In 1816, the French doctor René Laennec listened to a young woman's heart through a tube of rolled-up paper to avoid the embarrassment and impropriety of putting his ear to her chest. He called his invention the stethoscope (from the Greek word for chest, stethos), and went on to make wooden versions like this early example. The famous binaural stethoscope came into use in the 1840s. The stethoscope is labelled as follows: "This is one of Laennec's original stethoscopes, and it was presented by him to Dr Bégin a French Army surgeon whose widow gave it to me in 1863." |
