Sir William Osler also had bad days

According to a friend the following was written by the great Sir William Osler.Makes you wonder whether the world is still the same as it was in the 19th century.

"At times and in degrees differing with our temperaments, there come upon us bouts of depression when we feel that the battle has been lost, and that to fight longer is not worth the effort, periods when, amid the weariness, the fever and the fret of daily practice, things have gone against us, we have been misunderstood by patients, our motives have been wrongly interpreted and smitten perhaps in the house of our friends, the worries of heart to which we doctors are so subject makes us feel bitterly the uncertainties of medicine as a profession, and at times make us despair of its future."

And the follow up quote :

"Stand up bravely, even against the worse...Even with disaster ahead and ruin imminent, it is better to face them with a smile, and with the head erect, than to crouch at their approach."
