“L’lnconnue de la Seine”

You would probably be surprised how many everyday objects and common things have ridiculous, bizarre or even hilarious origin stories. Like the stethoscope for instance!! This ingenious piece of medical equipment which became an inseparable part of a physicians image was actually invented under quite amusing circumstances.

Back in the 19th century when doctors would rely on laying their ears on the patient’s body to hear their heartbeat, one physician, René Laennec, felt uncomfortable examining a female patient that close, so he took a piece of paper, rolled it up and, VOILA!!! The first stethoscope was created!
