Abstract
William Osler was well aware that the patient's bedside was the chief arena of medical education. He told us that there should be "no teaching without a patient for a text, and the best teaching is that taught by the patient himself." 1 Henry Christian left no doubt about Dr. Osler's methods:He would go to a patient's bed, stand (or sometimes sit in a chair), near the head of the bed at the patient's right side, give him a cheery greeting and, if he were a new patient, ask for his history which would then be given by the student . . .Keywords
