Through detailed historical narratives, Osler illuminates the foundations of modern medical thought and practice.

Review: super - Thanks
Review: Definitely worth buying. - I got a used copy here on desertcart after reading most of the text for free online (search: gutenburg project). This hardcover version of the book contains all the illustrations that the free/online versions to not have. I lucked out and my $4 used copy arrived looking almost new. This is a handsome, well-put-together edition of a classic of medical/scientific literature. The history of medicine is the history of science and mankind. You'll learn a lot just by reading this one book. Osler was a genius. There's not much more to say.
