The Origin of the Stethoscope

[@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.

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 🙂

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

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!

[@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.

[@kubera09]

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

[@PatKellyTeaches]

Try to! I appreciate the kind words

tapping yourself during the stud check 10/10

[@bevsmi]

I learned how to do percussion in nursing school but haven’t done it since then working on the floors I have been on. It was cool to map out the liver borders

[@Cowgirl12125]

Hi damsel it’s really my pleasure to meet you where are you from ?

[@jljordan1]

I don’t think it’s something nurses really do unless in advance practice. I’ve never done it either.

[@deemah3602]

ohhhh so that’s why they do it

[@bevsmi]

@@deemah3602 that and you can map out the lung borders, or see if there’s a bowel blockage based on resonance. Def more or an advanced practice still now than general med surg

“It’s the same idea when you tap on a wall to find the stud” *proceeds to tap self*

[@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.

[@thesisypheanjournal1271]

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

[@barnes099]

great video! you deserve way more subscribers

[@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. 🤥😄

[@rsfaeges5298]

FABULOUS video!

[@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

[@falcolf]

Thank you for another wonderful video ❤

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.

[@kamalionify]

This is amazing!!!

[@victoriaz14]

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

[@draconiancomments]

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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@michellemagana402]

The princess of Genovia reference was hilarious😂😂

[@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.

[@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

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.

I felt an urgent need to get a stethoscope Last week

[@crocussaffie2680]

Stud finder… Taps his own chest… Adorable

[@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?

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