René Laennec
René-Théophile-Hyacinthe Laennec (French: [laɛnɛk]; 17 February 1781 – 13 August 1826) was a French physician. He invented the stethoscope in 1816, while working at the Hôpital Necker and pioneered its use in diagnosing various chest conditions.
He became a lecturer at the Collège de France in 1822 and professor of medicine in 1823. His final appointments were that of Head of the Medical Clinic at the Hôpital de la Charité and Professor at the Collège de France. He died of tuberculosis in 1826 at the age of 45.
Early life and personality
Laennec was born in Quimper (Brittany). His mother died of tuberculosis when he was five or six, and he went to live with his grand-uncle the Abbé Laennec (a priest). At the age of twelve he proceeded to Nantes where his uncle, Guillaime-François Laennec, worked in the faculty of medicine at the university. Laennec was a gifted student, he learned English and German, and began his medical studies under his uncle's direction.
His father (a lawyer) later discouraged him from continuing as a doctor and René then had a period of time where he took long walks in the country, danced, studied Greek and wrote poetry. However, in 1799 he returned to study. Laennec studied medicine in Paris under several famous physicians, including Dupuytren and Jean-Nicolas Corvisart-Desmarets. There he was trained to use sound as a diagnostic aid. Corvisart advocated the re-introduction of percussion during the French Revolution.

Shock Me Into Love
by: LenkaAh ah oh
Ah ah oh
Just when you think that it will never get you
It comes and throws a lightening bolt right at you
Before you know and now your pulse is racin'
And now your blood in runnin' hot like crazy
Oh oh oh ah ah oh
Give it everything, everything that ya got
Oh oh oh ah ah oh
Give it everything, everything that you've got
No, I never knew that I could feel this way (Feel this way)
No, I never had it running through by veins (Through my veins)
No, I never thought that it could be enough
Suddenly you, you shock me into love
Into love
It's waiting for you right around the corner
It doesn't have the decency to warn ya
It comes along taps you on the shoulder
You fall into the arms that now will hold ya
Oh oh oh ah ah oh
Give it everything, everything that ya got
Oh oh oh ah ah oh
Give it everything, everything that you've got
No, I never knew that I could feel this way (Feel this way)
No, I never had it running through by veins (Through my veins)
No, I never thought that it could be enough
Suddenly you, you shock me into love
Ah ah oh
Into love
Ah ah oh
Electricity
Shoots from you to me
Electricity
Shoots from you to me
No, I never knew that I could feel this way (Feel this way)
No, I never had it running through by veins (Through my veins)
No, I never thought that it could be enough
Suddenly you, you shock me into love
No, I never knew that I could feel this way (Feel this way)
No, I never had it running through by veins (Through my veins)
No, I never thought that it could be enough
Suddenly you, you shock me into love
Ah ah oh
