Reviews

[Hadrian]

The Great and Powerful Osler says a good deal, in a flowery rhetorical style. Some insights relevant to today.

[Eric Huang]

3.5 stars. A collection of the Father of Modern Medicine's talks. This is one of those books where I want to say something like "It's not you...it's me". The style and vocabulary for his lectures were hard to follow- partly because he was from a different era. Some lectures were more interesting than others- but I found it interesting that even over a hundred and twenty years ago medical students and physicians were being counseled to be aware of the tendency to be overworked and burnout.

[D. Ryan]

Pretty good. Excessive praise for the medical profession. Some good advice on reading and studying.

[Peter Sandwall]

A wonderful collection of essays, recommended to all medical professionals and lifelong learners.
