The Legacy of Sir William Osler" Ted, though I admittedly haven't read your book, only seen some of the photos on your website - were you telling a story, so much as showcasing the work and acts of doctors? That respect for those who've dedicated their lives to helping others could be called philosophical or ideological in its compassion.
