Autorenporträt
Sir William Osler (1849–1919) was a pre-eminent figure in the field of medicine and has been described as the 'Father of Modern Medicine'. Osler's contributions to medical education are seminal. His penchant for humanistic and liberal arts within medical training is well elucidated in his work 'The Old Humanities and the New Science' wherein he advocates for the integration of humanities in medical education, suggesting a holistic approach to the development of a compassionate practitioner. This book is among his broader opus aimed at marrying the scientific aspects of medicine with a more empathetic and rounded approach to patient care. As a physician, Osler's literary style often combined a clear, concise narrative with a touch of humor and humanity. His bibliography extends beyond this piece to include essential medical texts of the time, such as 'The Principles and Practice of Medicine', which came to be a staple in medical education for decades. Osler's contributions have not only influenced the practice and teaching of medicine but have also established a framework where the welfare of the patient is central. His legacy lives on, not just in his writings but also in the Oslerian ideals that continue to guide medical professionals in their practices.
