William Osler was one of great internal medicine physicians in the late 1800s and beginning 1900s. He started at McGill, then moved to University of Pennsylvania. From there he went to be one of the original faculty (first Physician-in-Chief) for John Hopkins hospital and medical school. Then, he kind of retired at Oxford. It is really interesting to read the history of all these great places. There are many quotes by William Osler. One of my favorites is: “The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease.”
