ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE - British author

By Philip K. Wilson

Arthur Conan Doyle, in full Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle,
(born May 22, 1859, Edinburgh, Scotland—died July 7, 1930,
Crowborough, Sussex, England), Scottish writer best known
for his creation of the detective Sherlock Holmes — one of
the most vivid and enduring characters in English fiction.

Conan Doyle began seven years of Jesuit education in
Lancashire, England, in 1868. After an additional year of
schooling in Feldkirch, Austria, Conan Doyle returned to
Edinburgh. Through the influence of Dr. Bryan Charles Waller,
his mother’s lodger, he prepared for entry into the University
of Edinburgh’s Medical School. He received Bachelor of
Medicine and Master of Surgery qualifications from Edinburgh
in 1881 and an M.D. in 1885 upon completing his thesis, “An
Essay upon the Vasomotor Changes in Tabes Dorsalis.”
While a medical student, Conan Doyle was deeply impressed
by the skill of his professor, Dr. Joseph Bell, in observing the
most minute detail regarding a patient’s condition. (01)___.
Other aspects of Conan Doyle’s medical education and
experiences appear in his semiautobiographical novels, The
Firm of Girdlestone (1890) and The Stark Munro Letters (1895),
and in the collection of medical short stories Round the Red
Lamp (1894). (See also Sherlock Holmes: Pioneer in Forensic
Science.)

 France and Flanders, (1916–20).

 profits later in his life to this campaign, beginning with

 writing Sherlock Holmes adventures through 1926. His
 short stories were collected in several volumes, and he

 Dr. Watson.

 comes to dealing with his patients, and one example of
 this can be explained in the following situation.
