STETHOSCOPE It's been 200 years since the stethoscope was invented. The stethoscope was invented in France by René Laennec at the Necker-Enfants Malades Hospital in Paris. It consisted of a wooden tube and was monaural. The Stethoscope was invented because a French doctor felt uncomfortable placing his face on a younger woman's chest. Before stethoscope, doctors put ear directly to body. Here are some pictures of ancient stethoscopes that were used in past century.
