Osler: Medical Teaching

"Teach [the student] how to observe, give him plenty of facts to observe and the lessons will come out of the facts themselves".

Medical News [New York] 1903 (82):49-53

"Eye cannot see what the mind does not know."

"The whole art of medicine is in observaton, as the motto goes, but to educate the eye to see, the ear to hear and the finger to feel takes time, and to makea beginning to start a man on the right path, is all that we can do. We expect too much from the student and we try to teach too much. Give him good methods and a proper point of view, and all the other things will be added, as his experience grows."
