What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding

The first edition of this work, illustrated throughout with diagrams and photographs. The first print publication of a series of lectures given by Sir William Osler at Yale University in April 1913.

The preface explains that this work 'will be to the aspiring medical student and the hardworking practitioner a lift into the blue [...] a realization of what devotion, perseverance, valor and ability on the part of physicians' has contributed to modern medicine. With lectures on Greek, Medieval and Renaissance medicine.

Sir William Osler was a Canadian physician and one of the four founding professors of Johns Hopkins Hospital. Osler created the first residency program for specialty training of young physicians, and was the first to bring medical students out of the lecture hall for bedside clinical training. He has frequently been described as the Father of Modern Medicine and one of the 'greatest diagnosticians ever to wield a stethoscope'.
