William Osler - The Great teacher

"The physician without physiology and chemistry flounders along in an aimless fashion, never able to gain any accurate conception of disease, practising a sort of popgun pharmacy, hitting now the malady and again the patient, he himself not knowing which."

- In an address to McGill University in 1894 by Sir William Osler.


Dear All,
I hope you realise now why I emphasize so much on the basic sciences.

Study hard. Your future patients deserve a good doctor.
