Sir William Osler espoused a particularly idealized medical life that included the patient in the physician's worldview. Disease is not considered a monolith, only a reflection of one's broader health. Death, too, is configured as a part of one's being, not as a thing apart from life. The wholesomeness that characterized Osler's practice is well known—however, his long discussions and thoughts on death have not been sufficiently analyzed. His clinical views have been hinted at and numerous medical historians have noted that Osler's worldview on death was avant-garde for its time, one in which he described finality not as a time of suffering and anguish, but as “singularly free from mental distress.” This essay contends with this simple view. This straightforward understanding becomes complicated when delving into such primary resources as Osler's Study on Dying cards, his writings on other medical conditions, and personal reflections following the personal losses of his sons Edward Revere Osler and Paul Revere Osler. This essay contends that the loss and the death he imagines is not one of peace, but rather, of horror and terror. Furthermore, the primary sources show Osler not as the paragon of flawless clinical acumen and reasoning, but a man of personal beliefs that were in conflict with views he espoused more publicly. The essay therefore reconceptualizes the common understanding of a stoic Osler, determines how death prefigures into Oslerian thought, and challenges the idea of an Oslerian simple death.

死亡的原则和实践:奥斯勒式矛盾的死亡概念

威廉·奥斯勒爵士拥护一种特别理想化的医疗生活,将患者纳入医生的世界观。疾病不被认为是一块巨石,它只是一个人整体健康状况的反映。死亡也被配置为一个人存在的一部分,而不是与生命分离的事物。奥斯勒 (Osler) 实践的健康特点是众所周知的——然而,他对死亡的长期讨论和思考尚未得到充分分析。他的临床观点已经被暗示,许多医学史学家都指出,奥斯勒关于死亡的世界观在当时是前卫的,他在其中描述的终结不是痛苦和痛苦的时期,而是“完全没有精神痛苦。 ” 本文反对这种简单的观点。当深入研究奥斯勒关于临终卡片的研究、他关于其他医疗状况的著作以及他儿子爱德华·里维尔·奥斯勒和保罗·里维尔·奥斯勒个人去世后的个人反思等主要资源时,这种直截了当的理解变得复杂起来。这篇文章认为,他想象的损失和死亡不是一种和平,而是一种恐惧和恐惧。此外,主要消息来源表明,奥斯勒并不是临床敏锐度和推理无懈可击的典范,而是个人信仰与他更公开支持的观点相冲突的人。因此,这篇文章重新定义了对坚忍的奥斯勒的普遍理解,确定了死亡如何预示到奥斯勒的思想中,并挑战了奥斯勒简单死亡的想法。他关于其他医疗条件的著作,以及在他的儿子爱德华·里维尔·奥斯勒 (Edward Revere Osler) 和保罗·里维尔·奥斯勒 (Paul Revere Osler) 去世后的个人反思。这篇文章认为,他想象的损失和死亡不是一种和平,而是一种恐惧和恐惧。此外,主要消息来源表明,奥斯勒并不是临床敏锐度和推理无懈可击的典范,而是个人信仰与他更公开支持的观点相冲突的人。因此,这篇文章重新定义了对坚忍的奥斯勒的普遍理解,确定了死亡如何预示到奥斯勒的思想中,并挑战了奥斯勒简单死亡的想法。他关于其他医疗条件的著作,以及在他的儿子爱德华·里维尔·奥斯勒 (Edward Revere Osler) 和保罗·里维尔·奥斯勒 (Paul Revere Osler) 去世后的个人反思。这篇文章认为,他想象的损失和死亡不是一种和平,而是一种恐惧和恐惧。此外,主要消息来源表明,奥斯勒并不是临床敏锐度和推理无懈可击的典范,而是个人信仰与他更公开支持的观点相冲突的人。因此,这篇文章重新定义了对坚忍的奥斯勒的普遍理解,确定了死亡如何预示到奥斯勒的思想中,并挑战了奥斯勒简单死亡的想法。而是恐惧和恐惧。此外,主要消息来源表明,奥斯勒并不是临床敏锐度和推理无懈可击的典范,而是个人信仰与他更公开支持的观点相冲突的人。因此,这篇文章重新定义了对坚忍的奥斯勒的普遍理解,确定了死亡如何预示到奥斯勒的思想中,并挑战了奥斯勒简单死亡的想法。而是恐惧和恐惧。此外,主要消息来源表明,奥斯勒并不是临床敏锐度和推理无懈可击的典范,而是个人信仰与他更公开支持的观点相冲突的人。因此,这篇文章重新定义了对坚忍的奥斯勒的普遍理解,确定了死亡如何预示到奥斯勒的思想中,并挑战了奥斯勒简单死亡的想法。
