Description

William Osler, who used to be a brilliant, innovative teacher and a scholar of the natural history of disease, revolutionized the art of practicing medicine on the bedside of his patients. He used to be idolized by two generations of medical students and practitioners for whom he came to personify the correct doctor. But a lot more than a health care provider, Osler used to be a fiercely intelligent humanist.
In both his writings and his personal life–and throughout the prism of the tragedy of the Great War–he embodied the art of living. Indeed, this can be a book not only concerning the evolution of up to date medicine, the training of doctors, holism in medical thought, and the doctor-patient relationship, but also about humanism, Victorianism, the Great War, and much else. Meticulously researched and accessibly written, William Osler: A Life in Medicine brings to life both a captivating man and the formative age of twentieth-century medicine.
