  • History 5 - Fire in the Medical Buildings to Selye
    This chapter is part of a record of the history of the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology at McGill University written by Emeritus Professor, Dr. Gary Bennett, and completed in 2016. The entire history can be accessed at www.mcgill.ca/anatomy/about-us/history/written-history. History 5 - Fire in the Medical Buildings to Selye Fire in the Medical Buildings (1907) At the beginning of the 20th century, the infrastructure of McGill University become very impressive. Thanks to generous benefactors such as MacDonald, Molson and Lord Strathcona (now the University Chancellor), several new buildings had been constructed. In addition to the Arts Building and Dawson Hall, at the top of University Drive, there was the magnificent Redpath Museum to the west, and beyond this the new Redpath Library. To the east were the new Engineering, Chemistry and Physics Buildings. North of these was the new, greatly expanded, Medical Building, and finally, up the hill was the glorious new Royal Victoria Hospital Frost 2:4. In 1907, however, disaster struck! A fire of unknown origin destroyed much of the precious new Medical Building Hanaway 2: 64-66. The central portion was completely gutted and its roof and cupolas collapsed. The original lower portion was also damaged beyond repair. Only the northern-most Molson Extension survived to be reutilized. The Anatomy museum was completely destroyed, along with all the specimens that Shepherd had collected over 30 years! The pathology museum also suffered major losses, but most of the Osler Collection, including the wonderful Holmes heart, was saved by the heroic efforts of Maude Abbott and the medical students.

  • American Osler Society
    49th Annual Meeting of the American Osler Society Sir William Osler, quoting Leigh Hunt, “Abou Ben Adhem” Sunday, May 12th – Wednesday May 15th, 2019 Hotel Omni Mont-Royal Montréal, Canada Hotel Omni Mont-Royal 49th Annual Meeting of the AMERICAN OSLER SOCIETY Sunday, May 12th – Wednesday, May 15th, 2019 Hotel Omni Mont-Royal Montréal, Canada Credit: Karen Koshof The Osler Niche contains the ashes of Sir William Osler and Lady Osler, as well as those of Osler’s dear cousin and first Librarian of the Osler Library, W.W. Francis. The Niche was designed with Osler’s wishes in mind. Its realization was not far off the vision imagined by Osler’s alter ego Egerton Yorrick Davis in “Burrowings of a Bookworm”: I like to think of my few books in an alcove of a fire-proof library in some institution that I love; at the end of the alcove an open fire-place and a few easy chairs, and on the mantelpiece an urn with my ashes and my bust or portrait through which my astral self, like the Bishop at St. Praxed’s, could peek at the books I have loved, and enjoy the delight with which kindred souls still in the flesh would handle them. Course Objectives Upon conclusion of this program, participants should be able to: Describe new research findings in the history of medicine. Outline the evolution of medicine in a particular disease. List professional contributions made by others in medicine. Intended Audience The target audience includes physicians and others interested in Osler, medical history and any of the medically oriented humanities who research and write on a range of issues.

  • Osler Then and Now: Are the Humanities Still the Hormones?
    The Charles S. Bryan Lecture in the Humanities OSLER THEN AND NOW: ARE THE HUMANITIES STILL THE HORMONES? Charles S. Bryan, M.D., MACP South Carolina Chapter American College of Physicians Charleston, South Carolina October 21, 2017 hank you for the enormous honor of this lectureship. I hope future lectures in this series will provide abundant food for thought and self-renewal. Rather than give a straight humanities lecture, I’ve chosen to address a problem in medical education: Are the humanities relevant Tin today’s medical practice and, if so, how? The text to which I keep returning is a one-page essay on “The History of Medical Teaching” by the French medical historian Danielle Gourevitch. It was published in a supplement issue of The Lancet entitled “The Lancet 2000” designed to greet the new millennium [1]. Gourevitch writes that a century earlier—that is, around the year 1900—physicians were “at the top of the aristocracy of knowledge.” They were usually among the most learned men (and occa- sionally, women) in their communities. Doctors, at least the better doctors, were broadly knowl- edgeable in the sciences and the humanities. People looked to doctors for wisdom, for help in tough situations freighted with uncertainty about the outcomes. Professor Gourevitch takes as the avatar of this construct, the epitome of the broadly-knowl- edgeable early-twentieth-century physician steeped in the humanities and sciences, Sir William Osler (1849–1919). She calls Osler “the last maître à penser for a noble-minded general medicine.” Gourevitch’s concluding paragraph is chilling. She writes: “Today’s technical and dehumanized medicine has no past, has no cultural language, has no philosophy, does not even have any books.
