Poster for Country doctor exhibit

鈥 ...that flower of our calling鈥攖he cultivated general practitioner.
May this be the destiny of a large majority of you! You cannot reach any better position in a community; the family doctor is the man behind the gun, who does our effective work.
That his life is hard and exacting; that he is underpaid and overworked; that he has but little time for study and less for recreation鈥攖hese are the blows that may give finer temper
to his steel, and bring out the nobler elements in his character.鈥

William Osler, 鈥淭he Student Life,鈥 1905, p. 25

Osler鈥檚 words, some to the graduating medical school class of 看片视频 and included in a 1905 essay titled 鈥淭he Student Life鈥, exemplify the respect he had for country-based family physicians.
