Hearing irons: the questioning "Y"

Abstract:
It was a day still remembered--the day we medical students got our stethoscopes. They were carefully folded over just enough so the earpieces were easily visible to the world in our white coat pockets. This instrument is to the future doctor what the badge is to the policeman, the white scarf is to the pilot, and the reverse collar is to the clergyman ... a symbol of arrival at a goal, long dreamed of and worked for: we now knew we were accepted into the fraternity of medicine. Yet, the story of how the stethoscope came to be is frequently unappreciated.
