Do you know the theme of World Health Day 2020?
The World Health Organization has declared 2020 as the International Year of the Nurse and the Midwife to celebrate the critical role these healthcare workers play in keeping everyone healthy. Especially in trying times (COVID-19) like these, the healthcare workers are fighting in the front line risking their lives to save others by providing the best healthcare.
On the occasion of World Health Day, let’s learn about an interesting tool used by health workers – STETHOSCOPE!
But first, let’s understand,
What is a Stethoscope?
A stethoscope is a device doctors use to listen to the action of one’s heart, lungs, and blood flow in arteries and veins. It has a small dice-shaped resonator placed on the surface of the skin and two tubes that connect to the listener’s ears. It was invented by René Laennec, a French doctor, in 1816.
Today, we cannot imagine doctors without their white coats and a stethoscope around their neck. But it’s not just confined to doctors alone. A stethoscope is also used as a diagnostic tool by nurses, paramedics, and vets.
Now that you know about a stethoscope and its use, what if we told you that you can make one for yourself at home?
Do It Yourself Stethoscope
Here’s how you can make a stethoscope at home
Steps to follow:
Cut the end of the balloons. A homemade stethoscope is a great way to learn about how heart rates are different for different people. For example, you can count the number of times your heart beats within a minute as opposed to your parents.
Will you make this stethoscope? What kind of sounds will you listen to with your stethoscope? Do let us know in the comments below.

Books are Tanaya Goswami’s first love and cheesecakes come a close second. Talking about movies, music, calligraphy, politics, and Elon Musk will get you listed under the friends’ section of her diary. Ever since moving on from her job as an English lecturer, she spends her time at BYJU’S crafting stories filled with emotion and sprinkled with sarcasm. Outside of work, she’s either learning something new (French, most recently!) or is curled up with a book and a cup of coffee. She firmly believes that discovering what you don’t know is the key to knowledge and is constantly working towards improving herself. Drop in a line at storyweavers@byjus.com if you liked her stories, have something nice to say, or if you have compelling ideas to share!
