[Hadrian · Rating 4 out of 5]

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

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.

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

[Peter Sandwall · Rating 5 out of 5]

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