> "the stethoscope is being misused, all the time" If I understand correctly, which is not likely at all, this is about the stethoscope being misused in scientific research, not in the practice of medicine, right? Then the claim quoted above would be utterly false, since I am pretty sure that most of the times someone uses a stethoscope, that person is a doctor, and is: a) listening to another person's heart and lungs; and b) not publishing dubious research findings. Please enlighten me here, I feel like I am plenty wrong.
