"Who deserves to be a Millionaire": the stethoscope

wrong program on the date of his invention


In the game show "Who deserves to be a Millionaire" on Channel 13 of Chile, when asked the date of invention of the stethoscope None of the options was the correct response (see photo ). The error was detected by my friend and TV producer Oscar Molina who checks the answers on Google. It has also seen other answers misspelled, as I have mentioned.

The invention of the stethoscope, was conducted in 1816 (and not in 1819) , by Frenchman René Théophile Hyacinthe Laennec and occurred when the doctor was consulted in the Necker Hospital in Paris by a young general who had symptoms heart disease and in which, by its fat, the application of hand percussion and gave poor results. The situation became somewhat complicated when Laënnnec realized I'd have to put your ear to the chest of the woman's plump figure. To examine the sick girl, whose fat was difficult to hear the heartbeat, and recalling child's play he had seen, Laennec rolled a sheet of paper into a cylinder, one end was applied over the chest of the patient and the other to his own ear and could hear the heart "in a clearer and more than I had ever heard by applying the naked ear.

And so gentlemanly as he could hear the heartbeat more clearly than if he had supported his ear. The invention of the stethoscope was a real revolution in medical circles of the time, the first link that constitute the so-called modern diagnosis based on interpreting the responses of patients depending on what was found with the instruments of the physician.



published in 1819, his book "De l'auscultation mediate ou traité du diagnostic des maladies du coeur et des poumons principalement sur ce nouveau background moyen d'exploration" in which he described the stethoscope as a wooden cylinder , cedar or ebony, four inches in diameter and thirty long, drilled a hole six millimeters wide and funnel-shaped hollow in one end. In this work, which caused a sensation in Paris, described the sounds heard with a stethoscope, created new terms like pectoriloquia, egophony, crackle, rattle and detailed previously unknown diseases.

As always Chilean television broadcasts ignorance and low cultural level of the producers and journalists. Or was it the fault of the person in charge of the texts?

In any case, as they account for quality control what is transmitted. Rigor is called eso.Y is not the first time that emit errors, which is customary in the news.
