One of the most remarkable and progressive physicians of the Victorian age, Dr Joseph Bell's incredible powers of deductive reasoning astonished his students -- including the young Arthur Conan Doyle. Oxford-trained medical historian Lindsey Fitzharris reveals what Sherlock Holmes owes to the work of a real life crime-solving surgeon, and how he came, like Conan Doyle, to finally resent his association with Baker Street's most famous resident. Join us for a journey into the smog-wreathed streets of Edinburgh for a tale of true crime, bloody medicine, literary genius, and the convergence of art and life.
