Garrison/M. 2673: "Auscultation in the instrumental sense dates from Laennec?s invention of the stethoscope with a view to amplifying the sound of heart?s action. The publication of this book revolutionized the study of diseases of the thoracic organs. The second edition is even more important, since it gives not only the various physical sign elicited in the chest, but adds the pathological anatomy, diagnosis, and treatment of each disease encountered."- "... reluctantly he accepted the post of a physican to the Necker Hospital. It was here that he became interested emphysema, tuberculosis, and physical signs of chest. Although ausculation had been known since the days of Hippocrates, it was always done by the ?direct? method, which often was very inconvenient. Laennec introduced what he called the ?mediate? method, using a hollow tube for listening to the lungs and a solid wooden rof for heart sounds;" (DSB). "... he was able to hear the various sounds made by the lungs and heart. For three years he studied patient?s chest sounds and correlated with the disease found in autopsy. He described his methods and findings in the classic De l?auscultation mediate."
