Google Doodle honours inventor of stethoscope
Google created a special doodle on Wednesday to celebrate the 235th birthday of René Laennec, the inventor of the stethoscope. Laennec had first used a rolled piece of paper against a patient's chest and later made an instrument that looked like a wooden tube. The doodle depicts the first stethoscope used by Laennec beside the modern stethoscope used today.
