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 (TV story)|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 (TV story)|Fury from the Deep]]'', ''[[The Stolen Earth]]'') or to eavesdrop on a conversation in an adjacent room. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Storm Warning (audio story)|Storm Warning]]'', [[TV]]: ''[[Partners in Crime (TV story)|Partners in Crime]]'') The Doctor found it such a useful device that many of their incarnations, including [[Second Doctor|Second]], [[Fourth Doctor|Fourth]], [[Eighth Doctor|Eighth]], [[Tenth Doctor|Tenth]], [[Eleventh Doctor|Eleventh]] and [[Thirteenth Doctor|Thirteenth]] 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.
