The Invention that Revolutionized Medicine

In 1816, a young French physician named Rene Laennec rolled up a stack of papers and invented one of the most important instruments for modern medicine: the stethoscope. Join Anna Dhody to learn about this fascinating chapter in medical history!

    This is absolutely fascinating and I was so thrilled to receive a notification that you had posted a video ! This channel is amazing and I can't wait until I can finally go visit the museum in person ! I'm currently pretty occupied with school and the fact that I dont live anywhere near the museum, but I'll get there someday :D

    I am on my fourth (not including paediatric one) stethoscope in just under 40 years. My latest one has no tubes and can be used via bluetooth for infection control, without me in the same room.

    I'm curious, does a "pinched nerve" look pinched or different in anyway, if examining nerves of a cadaver ? (I have a pinched nerve, lol). BTW. love the content. First time I was taken to The Mutter Museum, I was 6 years old, been my favorite ever since.

    while more detailed imaging is beneficial in confirmation, the stethoscope is an integral, essential piece of kit for doctors (and nurses!). I can listen to a chest and *know* that there's a collapsed lung based on what I hear (or more specifically, don't hear), and then start getting what is needed to fix it together while waiting on Xray to confirm what we already know. I can listen to the asthmatic patient and see if they are getting better (or worse) without irradiating them every time they get a neb treatment. The stethoscope has been improved upon recently (electronic ones that amplify sound exist) but I don't see it going anywhere. It will always be needed, and essential.

    Does the Mütter have any traveling exhibits? I use my stethoscope to listen to cat purrs and I'm sure I can improve.

    4:25 everybody gets that part wrong. Every doctor put their ear up to a woman's chest to listen to their heart at that time. The reason he didn't was because that woman that he was looking at was particularly gross lol
