Medical Notes of Sherlock Holmes
9.99 €
Angina, asthma, and depression are fairly common illnesses in today's world. But what about ichthyosis, apoplexy or lumbago? All these diseases were faced by none other than the world famous and universally loved detective Sherlock Holmes. When writing great works Sir Arthur Conan Doyle used his real medical experience, which he passed on to the inhabitant of the apartment on Baker Street. And Nick Howlett, a medical practitioner who grew up on the stories of the great detective and was inspired by the career of the famous writer, was able to compile an extensive list of 50 ailments mentioned in the works of the English writer.

What are the differences between Victorian medicine and modern medicine? What diseases disappeared almost completely, and what diseases did not exist at all? How did Holmes manage to diagnose accurately by the appearance of the interlocutor? Nick Howlett has studied medical texts of the 19th century, which helped to answer these and many other questions of both Sherlock Holmes fans and fans of medical history.
