He was best known for being Sone of the ‘big four’ founding members of the Johns Hopkins Hospital where he had arrived in 1888 as Physician-in-Chief, establishing the medical residency programme, taking medical students to the bedside, writing major textbooks and for being the ‘King of Pranks’. In addition, Osler’s life later was closely intertwined with that of the new and rapidly progressing Royal Society of Medicine in London (RSM), established in 1907 by the merger of the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society and seventeen specialist medical societies. Osler, along with Scottish librarian (later Sir) John MacAlister, was intimately involved with the RSM from the start and actively encouraged postgraduate education and young doctors. At a meeting of the Section of History of Medicine (later History of Medicine Society) of the Royal Society of Medicine held at the Society’s house, 1 Wimpole Street, on Wednesday 14 January 1920 at 5pm, Sir D’Arcy Power, President of the Section, (who authored more than two hundred biographies in the Dictionary of National Biography, and who later recalled how the section was ‘more like a family than an integral part of a great scientific society’), proposed a vote of sympathy for Lady Osler for the loss of her husband.

Mark Silverman, President of the American Osler Society in 2000 had also conceived of a “talk about the talks” as he cleverly put it. Mark and others have kindly provided me with the programs of the earlier years and this project has moved forward with his approval and blessing. My work was jump started by the compilation of the first seventeen years by Jack D. Key and Barbara Tarpenning. As Osler has stated “the great republic of medicine knows and has known no national boundaries” and I have chosen to include the lectures from the London, Japanese and McGill Osler Societies. In addition, Oslerian Societies once existed at Saranac Lake, NY, Los Angeles, California and at the Mayo Clinic and I have included as many of those titles as I could locate. While perhaps the librarians or true historians could have done a better job of this, I chose to assemble the data myself and even do the tedious job of typing so that I might become more intimately acquainted with the material as I compiled it.

It works to ensure that the UK – and indeed the world – benefits from the contributions of the hugely talented teams of doctors, student doctors and colleagues who are working in medical schools to improve patients’ lives. To that end, we present here a selective overview of the impact – nationally and internationally – of individuals and teams who have worked in the UK’s medical schools, universities and hospitals over the past 150 years.

  • Medicine and Literature
    MEDICINE AND LITERATURE. H. S. CARTER, M.D., D.P.H. The advantage of an inclusive title for an essay is that it allows a wide field for exploration by the writer, and in this survey will permit consideration not only of references to doctors and medical matters in literature, but of glances at literary achievements by doctors no less than at such medical men who have been used as prototypes for characters in imaginative writings. Thus we may, for example, refer to Moliere's repeated satires upon the medicine of his time, the immortal verse of Dr. Keats and the supposed portrait of Dr. Allbutt in Middlewareh. Plato discussed Greek physicians and physic, and regarded Hippo- crates as a master, but makes little allusion to him. He has no definite description of the methods of healing in Aesculapian temples. He speaks of epidemics as due to the anger of departed souls. He placed the liver little below the brain in importance and regarded the spleen as a mopper- up of noxious humours. There is a substratum of biology in his writings which his pupil Aristotle was to expand. In the Symposium he makes Eriximachus, a physician who talks a good deal, give a prescription for hiccough to Aristophanes, who, no doubt, had laughed too much at his own satires. It was that sneezing will cure the most persistent hiccough. Plato fathered some grotesque notions upon medical teaching, though sneezing will sometimes stop a hiccough ; but amyl nitrite is better. Aristotle, who studied medicine, never practised it. He was an all- round philosopher with an interest in natural science, and while laying the foundations of Zoology in his Historia animalium, did not disdain ethics and politics.
