Rudyard Kipling was one of the most widely read writers of prose and poetry during his lifetime. His wide travels-he was born in India and lived in England and The United States and made frequent visits to South Africa-led to many encounters with physicians and medicine. His unique addresses to the medical profession reveal his knowledge of medical subjects. His three major medical addresses concern medical subjects in contrast to most laymen addressing physicians, who typically speak about their own areas of expertise. The influence of Sir William Osler on some of Kipling's stories is also examined.
拉迪亚德·吉卜林是他那个时代阅读量最广泛的散文家和诗人之一。他游历广泛——他出生于印度，在英国和美国生活过，还经常访问南非——这使他有很多机会接触医生和医学。他在医学专业会议上的独特演讲展示了他对医学主题的了解。与大多数向医生演讲的门外汉不同，门外汉通常谈论自己的专业领域，而他的三次主要医学演讲都涉及医学主题。本文还探讨了威廉·奥斯勒爵士对吉卜林一些故事的影响。
