Dr James L. T. Isbister (JLT), a graduate of the University of Adelaide, came to Sydney as a clinical pathologist at Sydney Hospital in 1897 and subsequently was a general practitioner in North Sydney and honorary surgeon and gynaecologist at Royal North Shore Hospital from 1900. He owned the first motor vehicle in North Sydney and he was Mary MacKillops's local doctor during her last years at the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart convent in North Sydney. On a visit to the United Kingdom in 1908, he met Sir William Osler, a meeting that clearly impacted on his thinking that has been channelled down the Isbister medical family for over a century. JLT was a founding member of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons with a grandson, Peter, also becoming a fellow. His son, James, daughter-in-law, Clair, and grandson, James, became fellows of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians. More recently, his great-grand daughter is currently an advanced college trainee. In this historical perspective, JLT's grandson confirms that Osler's medical truths have been channelled, added to and practised by JLT and his descendants.
詹姆斯·L·T·伊斯比斯特医生（JLT）毕业于阿德莱德大学，1897年作为临床病理学家来到悉尼医院，随后在北悉尼担任全科医生，并于1900年起在皇家北岸医院担任名誉外科医生和妇科医生。他拥有北悉尼的第一辆汽车，在玛丽·麦基洛普于北悉尼圣心圣约瑟夫修女会修道院度过的最后几年里，他是她的当地医生。1908年他访问英国时，结识了威廉·奥斯勒爵士，这次会面显然影响了他的思想，这种思想在伊斯比斯特医学家族中传承了一个多世纪。JLT是皇家澳大利亚外科学院的创始成员，他的孙子彼得也成为了该学院的会员。他的儿子詹姆斯、儿媳克莱尔和孙子詹姆斯成为了皇家澳大利亚内科医学院的会员。最近，他的曾孙女目前是一名高级学院实习生。从这个历史角度来看，JLT的孙子证实，奥斯勒的医学真理已由JLT及其后代传承、补充并付诸实践。
