An epic telling of the birth of modern clinical medicine, by those who lived it.

Winner of the 1926 Pulitzer Prize for biography!

William Osler was one of the big four founding fathers of the Johns Hopkins Hospital and later became the Regis Professor of Medicine at Oxford. But this acclaimed physician was so much more. This is a remarkable story.

An amazingly detailed look at the life of a gentleman and illustrious physician of the 19th century. An intimate tell of medical history during a time it moved from its rudiments of 3,000 years to the foundations of modern practice. And Williams Osler, the preeminent physician of his day and the father of modern clinical medicine seems to have been at the heart of it all.

This biography is written by another esteemed physician, Harvey Cushing, the father of modern neurosurgery. The two volumes together are 60 hours long.

This is a fascinating, intimate look at the greatest period of discovery in medical history, with remembrances of the likes of Walt Whitman, Virchow, Pasteur, Sydenham, Lister, Koch, and many, many others.

This makes a great gift for that medical man or woman in your life. Listen now!
