[Rarebooks] FS: William Osler AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED

[Charles Agvent]

OSLER, William. AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS). Oxford, 28 December 1918. 
A brief but fine single-page AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED as "Wm. Osler" 
written about a year before his death and addressed to a frequent 
correspondent, a Miss Proctor. In part: "I hope you are keeping well. It 
is many years now since your old trouble. What an encouragement your 
case has been!" Single center fold, tiny edge nick, Near Fine.
Osler created the first residency program for specialty training of 
physicians, and he was the first to bring medical students out of the 
lecture hall for bedside clinical training. He has frequently been 
described as the "Father of Modern Medicine." Osler's greatest influence 
on medicine was to insist that students learn from seeing and talking to 
patients and the establishment of the medical residency. The latter idea 
spread across the English-speaking world and remains in place today in 
most teaching hospitals. (#018641)        $1,250.00
