Aequanimitas

Aequanimitas was one of Sir William Osler's most famous essays, delivered to new doctors in 1889 as his farewell address at the Pennsylvania School of Medicine. It was also the name of his first book of essays. In the essay, Osler advocates two qualities "imperturbability" and "equanimity". Between 1932 and 1953, more than 150,000 copies were given to medical graduates.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
