It is not the purpose of this article to list the stethoscopic findings in various diseases, nor to discuss such conditions in detail, all of which may be found in any good text book of medicine. Rather, an attempt will be made to assess the significance of the stethoscope, with its limitations, in clinical diagnosis. Does it in fact now have a role of any importance, or is it merely carried as the doctor's traditional badge of office?
本文的目的并非罗列各种疾病的听诊发现，也不是详细讨论这些病症，所有这些在任何一本优秀的医学教科书中都能找到。相反，本文将尝试评估听诊器在临床诊断中的意义及其局限性。它在当今实际上是否具有任何重要作用，还是仅仅作为医生的传统职业标志而携带？
