Rating:
Summary: Excellent historical perspective about a man and his works
Review: This textbook, for that is what it really is, will enrapture the novice and expert seeker of medical history. Dr. Cushing has written about Dr. Osler in a honest, warm and human manner. Current students of medicine will revel in the tidbits of knowledge and in the practice of medicine in the early 1900's. Dr. Osler's life and his exploits are legendary in the medical community and this book gives tribute to a person who touched others in a most positive manner. Required reading for all M.D.'s.
