Sir William was so perfectly the embodiment of a physician’s physician, a teacher, and an academic that any geriatrician (especially geographic full-time) could not help but to identify strongly with the great man. I certainly did.
Osler was the consummate clinician and diagnostician, doing almost all of his own autopsies for the first two decades of his professional life.
While nearly so, Osler was not perfect, and of interest to me as a geriatrician is the fact that one of his only public gaffes (from which he suffered greatly) relates to a speech in which he suggested, tongue in cheek, chloroforming those who reached age 60.

 The Evolution Of Modern Medicine by Sir William Osler : Arthur's Classic Novels
THE manuscript of Sir William Osler's lectures on the "Evolution of Modern Medicine," delivered at Yale University in April, 1913, on the Silliman Foundation, was immediately turned in to the Yale University Press for publication.
The careful corrections which Sir William made in the earlier galleys show that the lectures were dictated, in the first instance, as loose memoranda for oral delivery rather than as finished compositions for the eye, while maintaining throughout the logical continuity and the engaging con moto which were so character- istic of his literary style.
Osler's wide culture and control of the best available literature of his subject permitted him to range the ampler æther of Greek medicine or the earth-fettered schools of today with equal mastery; there is no quickset of pedantry between the author and the reader.
