Overview

abstract

  • The invention of the stethoscope by René Théophile Hyacinthe Laennec occurred within an emerging French tradition of bedside empiricism that combined physical diagnosis with autopsy correlation. On the occasion of the bicentennial of the birth of the discoverer of mediate auscultation, we celebrate the life and work of one of the founders of modern medicine.
