I had known and worked with Sherlock Holmes for
almost four years when I first met Arthur Conan
Doyle -ACD I always called him. Like me, he was a doctor,
and we quickly became old friends. He told me
amusing stories of hospital life, and I raid him about
my life as an army doctor in Afghanistan.
I often talked to him about Sherlock Holmes. At that
time most people had never heard of him. Only the
police and some criminals knew what a great
detective he was. ACD seemed to enjoy my stories
very much. He was never too tired to hear 3.bout
another of Holmes's cases.
