The greater the ignorance the greater the dogmatism.

Sir William Osler, 1st Baronet (July 12, 1849 – December 29, 1919) said this.

Although known mostly now for the hospitals that are named for him, Osler was arguably the greatest Canadian physician and certainly one of our greatest teachers.

He was one of the founding professors at Johns Hopkins Hospital and its first Professor of Medicine. Osler created the first residency program for specialty training of physicians, and he was the first to bring medical students out of the lecture hall for bedside clinical training.
