Sir William Osler (1849-1919) has been deemed the greatest physician of the twentieth century. Silverman, T. Jock Murray and Charles S. Bryan have gathered a great many aphorisms that fully support that reputation. After the impressive biography, they've arranged the work under such headings as: art practice of medicine; the profession; diagnosis; education; and faith, religion...death. Keywords synonyms: McGill University, Johns Hopkins, Principles and Practice of Medicine, Regius Chair Oxford University, Radcliffe Infirmary, baronetcy. An inspiring view of a great man. The revised paperback edition contains 40 never-before-published quotes from a recently discovered address of Osler's and a chronology of his life and work.
