"It is much more important to know what sort of a patient has a disease than what sort of a disease a patient has."
William Osler


Osler was one of the four founding professors of Johns Hopkins Hospital. He established the practice of residency. Before Osler, med students could go on to be doctors without having seen a single patient!
