Sir William Osler, 1849-1919

A Selection for Medical Students

By: Sir William Osler,Charles G. Roland,Hannah Institute for the History of Medicine

Edited and with an introduction by Charles G. Roland William Osler, renowned physician and medical historian, was perhaps the most brilliant and influential teacher of medicine in his day. Born in Bond Head, Ontario, Osler studied at the University of Toronto and at McGill, where he stayed to teach. In the years to follow, his reputation became well-established; he came into his own, however, as the first head of medicine at the new Johns Hopkins Hospital and medical school at Baltimore in 1889. Decades ahead of his time in his approach to academic study and his views on the medical profession, Osler was beloved by thousands of students; he helped many find a vocation in medicine by way of his own enthusiasm, breadth of interests, and concern for the individual. Osler's many remarkable qualities are displayed in these selected essays, all brimming with the warmth and eloquence which was his trademark, and all of continuing interest and relevance to medical students today.

The Evolution of Modern Medicine

By: William Osler

Sir William Osler, 1st Baronet (1849-1919) was a Canadian physician. He has been called one of the greatest icons of modern medicine and described as the Father of Modern Medicine. Osler was a physician, clinician, pathologist, teacher, diagnostician, bibliophile, historian, classicist, essayist, conversationalist, organizer, manager and author. After two years at the Toronto School of Medicine, he came to McGill University in Montreal where he obtained his medical degree (MDCM) in 1872. Following post-graduate training in Europe, Osler returned to McGill University as a professor in 1874. In 1884 he was appointed Chair of Clinical Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. He was a prolific author and a great collector of books and other material relevant to the history of medicine. He was instrumental in founding the Medical Library Association in North America and served as its second President from 1901-1904. Perhaps Osleras greatest contribution to medicine was to insist that students learned from seeing and talking to patients and the establishment of the medical residency. His works include: Aequanimitas (1904) and The Evolution of Modern Medicine (1921).

Bibliotheca Osleriana

A Catalogue of Books Illustrating the History of Medicine and Science

By: Sir William Osler,Osler Library

During his tenure as the Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford from 1905-1919, Sir William Osler amassed a considerable library on the history of medicine and science. A Canadian native, Osler had studied at McGill University and decided to leave his collection of 7,600 items to its Faculty of Medicine. A catalogue, the Bibliotheca Osleriana, was compiled - a labour of love that took ten years to complete and involved W.W. Francis, R.H. Hill, and Archibald Malloch. Osler himself laid down the broad outlines of the catalogue and wrote many of the annotations.

Beyond the Influence

Understanding and Defeating Alcoholism

By: Katherine Ketcham,William F. Asbury,Mel Schulstad,Arthur P. Ciaramicoli

This invaluable work will contribute much to the battle against our number one disease."—from the Foreword by George McGovern, former senator and author of Terry: My Daughter's Life-and-Death Struggle with Alcoholism Alcoholism is a disease. It's time we started treating it like one. Science has offered undisputed proof that alcoholism is a disease rather than a weakness of character, yet millions of alcoholics continue to suffer due to inappropriate treatment. Now the co-author of the modern classic Under the Influence has teamed up with prominent alcoholism experts to provide new answers to this national epidemic. Based on the latest scientific research, Beyond the Influence clearly explains the neurological nature of the disease and reveals why some people drink addictively and others do not. It also spells out what needs to be done to treat alcoholism, including: Steps to take for an intervention How to find the right treatment program Which psychological approaches work best Why spirituality is essential to recovery New insights into relapse prevention What you should know about diet, exercise, and nontraditional treatments such as acupuncture Provocative and eye-opening, compelling and compassionate, Beyond the Influence is not only a message of hope for alcoholics--it is a blueprint for saving lives. Beyond the Influence explains that alcoholism is a disease of the body, not a weakness of character. Drawing on the latest scientific studies, the authors present new research on the central role of genetics and neurotransmitters in addiction. Continuing where the prior book left off, it also includes: Steps for diagnosis and intervention, plus ways to prevent relapses Various treatment models, including inpatient and out-patient programs and a review of new drug treatments The most effective types of psychological counseling The critical role of nutrition Non-traditional healing methods for recovery The importance of a spiritual component to recovery The authors also critique our nation's alcoholism policies, including education and prevention programs, efforts to curtail college bingeing and underage drinking, and the advertising and marketing strategies of the alcohol industry.
