2020 243-366 Auscultation, or Listen to Your Heart
Tomorrow's going to be a busy day, so here's my Macro Mondays for the theme of Sound.
Sadly I don't have a cello any more, otherwise I would have tried to reprise an early camera club set subject entry on the same topic. In fact the only musical instrument in the house (apart from a drum kit in the attic) is a large sized recorder hidden away somewhere. It's size did rather put me off trying to find it.
I then thought of this stethoscope purchased from Eschmann in Worthing in 1981, the first year of my physio career.
I just had to pretend to have a listen to my heart, but apologise for the lack of clothing. This is something I am rather used to having done to me, as I normally have to go for an annual check-up in Cardiology at St Barts in London. Not this year though...

The stethoscope is an acoustic medical device for auscultation, or listening to internal sounds of an animal or human body. It typically has a small disc-shaped resonator that is placed against the skin, and one or two tubes connected to two earpieces. A stethoscope can be used to listen to the sounds made by the heart, lungs or intestines, as well as blood flow in arteries and veins. In combination with a manual sphygmomanometer, it is commonly used when measuring blood pressure.
