An Osler question?

[mjl1717]

Out of curiosity. If one were to read only two books on or by the icon, "Sir William Osler"

Which ones should they be?? (Im trying to get a general consensus on this)

The one by Harvey Cushing is so, so exhaustive, but all the details are charming. Great before bed reading because the details are so dense. Also bonus that it is authored by Cushing.

aequinimitas with other addresses by osler. the book is over 100 tears old depending on the edition.

or you can find a reprint

William Oslers life is interesting but it is the philosophy by which he lived it that is most important. What better way to see it than a book of hos own words?
