Sir William Osler (1849-1919) is often considered the pre-eminent physician of the 20th century. A humanist who emphasized compassion for the individual, a doctor whose bedside skills and manner were emulated by admirers and students, and an educator whose concepts revolutionized clinical teaching, Osler is regarded by many as the ideal medical practitioner. His eloquent essays and speeches, laced with principles and precepts written in an aphoristic style, have influenced generations of physicians.
Organized by topic and thoroughly indexed, this completely updated and revised paperback edition includes a chronology of Osler's life and achievements, plus 50 new quotations, 40 of which come from a previously unknown address Osler gave to medical students at the University of Pennsylvania.
The Quotable Osler is the ideal resource for those seeking an apt quote for an article or presentation, or for those wanting to sample Osler's thought-provoking and uplifting messages. Osler's meaningful and valuable teachings are timeless, and this new paperback edition is the ideal gift for a fellow physician, medical student, or a graduating resident.
