Friends and Colleagues,

Most of us would not find it helpful if when we were sitting on the examining table, our doctor became hysterical.  “This is terrible!” or “Worse case I’ve ever seen” are not word’s we want to hear from our physician.  Calm is so much better.

The name William Osler is perhaps not in common parlance, but in his day Osler was regarded as one of the greatest physicians.  He was a founder of the Johns Hopkins Department of Medicine  and one of his enduring works is Aequanimitas.  We are pleased to have a First Edition copy for sale in this list.

Emblazoned on the shield of The Johns Hopkins Department of medicine is the word Aequanimitas.  It means imperturbable.  Osler thought it was a premier quality of a good doctor.

We agree, and expect you will too.

Hope you enjoy the list!

Nick
