Author: Oliver T. Osborne

Oliver T. Osborne practiced medicine and trained future clinicians as an American physician and medical educator, building a career closely connected with Yale and the development of clinical teaching in the early twentieth century. Disturbances of the Heart approaches cardiac illness through diagnosis and treatment, with attention to blood pressure and the ways other bodily conditions can affect the heart. The work first appeared through the American Medical Association and reflects the therapeutic language of its period. Osborne also wrote on therapeutics and contributed to professional medical education, making this volume part of a broader effort to organize practical knowledge for physicians.
