Synopsis

Aequanimitas With Other Addresses to Medical Students, Nurses and Practitioners of Medicine is a compilation of the writings of William Osler. For those not familiar with Osler and his works, he was a prominent Canadian physician and is best known for being one of the founding professors of John Hopkins Hospital. Osler has been described as the father of modern medicine for his work establishing the first residency program with the intent of training physicians.

The book begins with Osler's farewell address Aequanimitas , delivered to fellow medical practitioners upon his departure from Philadelphia in 1889. This speech sets the tone for the rest of the book with a heavy focus on medicine and the coming challenges to medical professionals, particularly in continuing education and increasing the level of professionalism in practice. Osler emphasizes the critical role discussion and training play in preparing students for the field and cultivating a more established profession. This focus on continuing education and engagement is carried throughout the text as Osler reinforces repeatedly his belief that educated physicians create a better field. .

Aequanimitas With Other Addresses to Medical Students, Nurses and Practitioners of Medicine is an historic and informative book written by the famous William Osler. This book presents itself as a manual for physicians but most readers will find it approachable regardless of educational background or chosen career. This book would be particularly interesting to individuals in the medical profession and entertaining for individuals interested in the life and times of William Osler.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

To you, at least of those present, they should have the solemnity of an ordinance called as you are this day to a high dignity and to so weighty an office and charge. You have chosen your Genius, have passed beneath the Throne of Necessity, and with the voices of the fatal sisters still in your ears, will soon enter the plain of Forgett ulness and drink of the waters of its river. Ere you are driven all manner of ways, like the souls in the tale of Er the Pamphylian,2 it is my duty to say a few words of encouragement and to bid you, in the name of the Faculty, God-speed on your journey. I could have the heart to spare you, poor, careworn survivors of a hard struggle, so lean and pale and leadeneye with study ;and my tender mercy constrains me to consider but two of the score of elements which may make or mar your lives which may contribute to your success, or help you in the days of failure. In the first place, in the physician or surgeon no quality tv,kes rank with imperturbability, and I propose for a few mmu? to direct your attention to this essential bodily virtue. Perhaps I may be able to give those of you, in 1V aledictory A ddress, University of Pennsylvania, May 1, 1889 2T he Republic, Book.X.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
