Answer 1

分析 一個年輕女人在1816年的一天去了巴黎一家醫(yī)院，她呼吸困難．Rene Laennec醫(yī)生盡力去聽她的身體去找出問題所在．但是他聽不到任何東西因為她太重了．還有，他認為："如果我拿耳朵聽她的胸口她也會不喜歡的．"
辛苦工作后，Rene Laennec醫(yī)生去了附近的公園散步，他看見一群男孩正在玩一塊長木頭，一個男孩正在用針刮擦這木頭的尾部，另一頭，另一個男孩將耳朵放上面，他們正在聽著針刮擦的聲音．
Rene Laennec醫(yī)生有了一個好主意．他跑回醫(yī)院，卷起一些紙，用這些卷著的紙去聽年輕女子的胸口．能很好的聽到一切"這個主意將會改變醫(yī)學"他認為．
Rene Laennec醫(yī)生用這個主意發(fā)明了聽診器．這個發(fā)明現(xiàn)在還在使用．
