Celebrating the History of Johns Hopkins
The Osler Minutes
By Ralph H. Hruban, M.D. with sound by Jon Christofersen
Welcome to an Osler Minute. Sir William Osler was arguably the greatest physician North America has ever produced. Together with William Welch, William Stewart Halsted and Howard Kelly, Osler was one of the "Big Four" founding doctors of the Johns Hopkins Hospital and School of Medicine. He was also a great philosopher of medicine, and in many ways helped define what it means to be a physician in the modern era. We have created these Osler Minutes to, in some small way, promulgate the teachings of this great physician.
