Do you have any idea how this acoustic medical device was invented? How come its inventor came up with the idea?
The stethoscope was invented because a French doctor, Rene Theophile Hyacinthe Laënnec, felt uncomfortable placing his face on a younger woman’s chest.
The word stethoscopecomes from the Greek words stethos, meaning chest, and skopein, meaning to explore.
