Time
If you picture a doctor, chances are they’re wearing two things: a white lab coat and a stethoscope draped around their neck. The stethoscope has been a staple in the medical community since its invention in 1816. However, according to a recent Time article, the antiquated device is being replaced by higher tech options. Over the past 200 years, medical imaging has taken over, allowing doctors to actually watch the body in motion and see things such as leaky valves.
