A '''stethoscope''' was an instrument that amplified sound, allowing the wearer to better hear the sounds emanating from the site on which the bell of the device was placed. Though typically meant for medical practice — as when [[Harry Sullivan]] and [[Martha Jones]] examined [[the Doctor]]'s [[heart]]s ([[TV]]: ''[[Robot (TV story)|Robot]]'', ''[[Smith and Jones]]''), it could be used in other, non-medical situations. The Doctor, for instance, frequently used it to amplify the sound that mechanical or electronic devices made, ([[TV]]: ''[[Fury from the Deep]]'', ''[[The Stolen Earth]]'') or to eavesdrop on a conversation in an adjacent room. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Storm Warning]]'', [[TV]]: ''[[Partners in Crime]]'') The Doctor found it such a useful device that many of his incarnations, including [[Second Doctor|Second]], [[Fourth Doctor|Fourth]], [[Eighth Doctor|Eighth]], [[Tenth Doctor|Tenth]] and [[Eleventh Doctor|Eleventh]] carried one. | A '''stethoscope''' was an instrument that amplified sound, allowing the wearer to better hear the sounds emanating from the site on which the bell of the device was placed.
