The Fascinating Story Behind the Simple Stethoscope | Rene Laennec and the Paris Clinical School

[@braydonthegreat5099]

So glad I don't live in the era where the stethoscope is the most advanced diagnostic technology in medicine 😂

[@iamcurious9541]

In 100 years they will say the same about today.

[@denysivanov3364]

qualified doctors diagnosed heart defects with stethoscope and did surgeries. Also experienced people do not need much analysis for most problems. For example I have NN training as a hobby, at first I watched all the graphs but later I just looked at one or two parameters every couple of days and thats all. NN won top chess computer championship cup 🙂

@@denysivanov3364what do you mean by NN, if you don’t mind me asking

[@prapanthebachelorette6803]

@@iamcurious9541 maybe about chemotherapy, especially the ones that don’t go for specific targets

[@bp968]

​@denysivanov3364 that's fine and all until the problem you have isn't common. Without advanced diagnostic tools id have died years ago.

[@nrok113]

I think the most fun thing I learned here is that "immediate" really means without medium, nothing in between, which also applies to time the way I'm used to using it

[@prapanthebachelorette6803]

Fun etymology as always 😊

[@norman_5623]

Science magazine had an article on the value of humanities to science, and they led the article with Laennec. They pointed out that Laennec was also a flute player, and in those days flute players carved their own flutes. Laennec's wooden stethescopes were carved like flutes.

lmao at the "just give 'em a jiggle" method of diagnostic exam

[@johnmichaelrichards]

In my medical career, I have used many varieties of stethoscopes, including electronic ones. Now, thanks to Patrick Kelly, I know the history of these indispensable devices. Thank you.

7k should be 700k google forgot some zeros. The quality of your content is top tier

[@joelb8653]

I love the fact that a large part of the impetus for it was that a man couldn't put his ear on a woman's chest. Prudes to the rescue. 😊

[@garrysekelli6776]

Yeah. Completely strange. Usually when I am examining a patient I first briefly examine and palpate the mammary glands. Then I insert a probe into the woman to examine her reproductive organs. It's a fairly simple examination. Then depending on the diagnosis I tell the patient to return the next day, week, month etc. Some really dire cases out there.

[@SirSaladAss]

​@@garrysekelli6776And then the doctor comes and tells you off.

[@mothman7046]

I am immensely fascinated by medical history! I have loved binging all your videos!!! You put so much effort and dedication into them and it shows in the quality!!! Thank you for all you do!

[@kubera09]

You put great research and work behind your videos thanks for your efforts sir🙏

[@PatKellyTeaches]

Try to! I appreciate the kind words

[@chriswho12345]

video ends on a cliffhanger. it would be so cool if u made a follow up about the turning point when doctors started listening to the body, showing the changes over time, importance of physical exam etc

[@PatKellyTeaches]

Great idea. There's a huge intersection between that history and the current discussion of AI's place in diagnosis

[@KAZVorpal]

In classical Latin, the v is pronounced like a w in English. So inwentum nowum is how an educated Austrian speaker probably would pronounce that even in neoclassical 18th century Latin.

[@AsmodeusT]

I am genuinely loving your work. This is the 4th video I have watched back to back. It's about 3am here. I promise, just one more and then I will go to sleep. 🤥😄

[@barnes099]

great video! you deserve way more subscribers

[@LightPink]

It's already been a year since I saw the medlife crisis video 💀

[@PatKellyTeaches]

That Rohin makes dang good videos. Hopefully my video still offered some new information -- I wanted to differentiate them by setting the context with the Paris Clinical School and showing the primary documents

[@shinigami8068]

​@PatKellyTeaches, I feel this is an interesting topic. The more, the merrier.

[@rsfaeges5298]

FABULOUS video!

[@thesisypheanjournal1271]

The old-timey doctors were right in that your environment and behaviors have a TON to do with your health.

[@johncollins3560]

Pretty sure my NHS GP has moved back to humoral practice and intuition - given their reluctance to actually see people and a strong preference to just hear them over the phone.

[@KhaiHarris]

Your videos are amazing

[@PatKellyTeaches]

Glad you like them! More coming soon

[@aarashnavabi4749]

I like that you found yourself to be the stud.

[@kamalionify]

This is amazing!!!

[@Twentyvicodin]

I really thank you for all the work and I Love all the stuff ❤

[@PatKellyTeaches]

My pleasure, this was a fun one to research

[@WilliamEricStone]

"Moist lung sounds"! I generally just say, "sounds like someone left a faucet on in there". Not directly to the patient of course...Doubt they would see the humor in it. If one likes these kinds of stories about medical history read anything by the late Thomas Dormandy. A great historian, and a very good writer. He has an entire chapter about Laennec and the stethoscope in "Moments of Truth'. But I think his best book is "The Worst of Evils, Mankind's Fight Against Pain". A must read for anyone who works oncology.

[@crocussaffie2680]

Stud finder… Taps his own chest… Adorable

[@zak-a-roo264]

That's cool , the same tech my mechanic mentor taught, a 2 ft length of garden hose to listen to the engine up close for symptomatic noises.

[@KAZVorpal]

That stethescope was circa 1 inch by 10 inches.

[@joshnieder]

U should do a video about the history of dyes like Azo and Indigo

[@Awesomlypossom]

Lol, almost missed that stud joke. That is really funny

[@joshbrown4702]

Good thing you didn't miss any studs, i was too distracted to find the one in the wall.

Now I know what dr livesey was using in the Soviet pirate cartoon which looked like a horn. So glad I found this channel.

[@aarashnavabi4749]

Considering your love and interest in medicine, I would replace the California poppy with Papaver Somniferum as it is a plant that it’s use has been a canon of medicine for thousands of years. Unfortunately, the California poppy can only be used as a beautiful yellow ink.

[@uptoolate2793]

Im relieved to know the stethoscope has nothing to do with global warming.

[@zanthornton]

A. Thanks for captions or subtitles. B..I relistened several times. You said princess not prince of original stethoscope. Can you explain?

[@PatKellyTeaches]

Hmm, can you provide a timestamp for that? I couldn't find what you're referencing in the transcript

[@sbarb5411]

When introducing Laennec@@PatKellyTeaches

[@PatKellyTeaches]

Ahh! It's a silly reference to a movie called the Princess Diaries. I know explaining the joke makes it unfunny, but in the movie, the main character has a long name (like Laenecc's full name), and her title is Princess of Genovia

The doctors were willing to taste urine?

[@jeplica7011]

I felt an urgent need to get a stethoscope Last week

[@Davidbirdman101]

That's kinda what my doctor does, asks me a few question, names the problem and leaves. I wonder how much things have really changed?

[@JamSparing]

Oh God get a new one ASAP! That's... not good practice.

[@victoriaz14]

I watched all of your videos in the last day and now I don't know what to do with my time lol

I can't help but think the doctors who had trouble describing sound would have benefitted from the help of a percussionist musician.
