Sir William Osler 1849 - 1919

I came across these quotes from the Canadian physician Sir William Osler, who was among other things a pioneer of bronchiectasis research and treatment.

The good physician treats the disease: the great physician treats the patient who has the disease.

Medicine is a science of uncertainty and an art of probability.

One of the first duties of the physician is to educate the masses not to take medicine.
