Stethoscope

I recently bought a noise-reduction, sound amplification stethoscope that is amazing. Thus while while the original stethoscope (c.1816)may have evolved out of a sense of modesty (so that the doctor didn't need to place his chest on the bosom of his patients), my new one is so powerful I feel like I can hear sounds from "miles" away!

The stethoscope was invented due to a doctor's modesty...
