Description: "This book enables our society and those to come to benefit from the wisdom of one of the greatest physicians of all time, Sir William Osler. For over a century Osler has been recognized as a force for the humanities and ethics in medicine and for patient-centered medicine, areas severely challenged today by the so-called managed care movement, health insurance, and governmental influences. It is a message not only for the medical profession but for all who would seek compassionate physicians who had been influenced and stimulated by Osler's timeless wisdom and humanity. I will cherish this book in my library and heart."--Billy F. Andrews, M.D., Professor and Chairman Emeritus, University of Louisville; Chief-of-Staff Emeritus, Kosair Children's Hospital, University of Louisville "This is an outstanding work of painstaking scholarship, which makes this truly great human's best thinking readily accessible to modern students, professionals, scholars, and readers interested in medicine and the health professions generally. The volume presents a cornucopia of both personal and professional wisdom in addition to demonstrating Osler's extraordinary erudition." -- Roger J. Bulger, M.D., President, Association of Academic Health Centers
