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

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 🙂

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.

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.

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.

"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.

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.
