	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Renee-Theophile-Hyacinthe Laennec

		Laennec published his book on the subject in 1819, with the modest motto in Greek "the most important part of an art is to be able to observe properly." Prof.

	THE MONAURAL STETHOSCOPE
		Laennec was embarrassed to place his ear to her chest (Immediate Auscultation), which was the method of auscultation used by physicians at that time.
		This second version is illustrated in Laennec's second edition text on auscultation published in 1826, which described the stethoscope as having an overall length of 12 inches and a diameter of 1.5 inches.
		Laennec's friend Jacques-Alexandre Lejumeau de Kergaradec was the first doctor to use the stethoscope for fetal auscultation and this technique was discussed by Laennec in his second edtion text on ausculataion.

		Laennec noted it was uncomfortable for both doctor and patient, a bit too intimate for a hospital setting, and unsuitable for most women because, with some, "the very size of their breasts was a physical obstacle to the employment of this method." The 35-year-old Laennec was still a bachelor and a stickler for propriety.
		It was then, Laennec said, he remembered a "simple and well-known fact in acoustics"--that is, that sound is augmented when conveyed through certain solid bodies, such as wood.
		Laennec had adopted the term "auscultation" from the Latin auscultare, meaning "not merely to listen, but to listen carefully." The word "mediate" indicated that the auscultation was not direct but mediated by "le cylindre."

		Remembering (a law of physics) a childhood trick of scratching the end of a log with a pin, a sound that would be transmitted loud and clear to the other end of the log, he made a "log" by rolling sheets of paper into a cylinder.
		Laennec recalled applying one end of it to the region of the heart and the other to his ear, and was surprised to find that he could perceive the action of the heart in a manner much more clear and distinct.
		This led to the intervention of Laennec's monaural stethoscope in 1819.
