According to Sir Arthur Conan Doyles stories, Dr. John H. Watson was born on July 07, 1852. Coincidentally1, the author died on this day in England at the age of 71.

Conan Doyle was born in Scotland in 1859 and studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh. At the University, he studied with Dr. Joseph Bell, whose extraordinary deductive2 powers were said to be the inspiration for Conan Doyles character Sherlock Holmes.

After medical school, Conan Doyle moved to London, where he practised medicine and wrote. His first Sherlock Holmes story, A Study in Scarlet, was published in Beetons Christmas Annual in 1887. Starting in 1891, a series of Holmes stories appeared in The Strand magazine.

The popularity of the stories enabled Conan Doyle to leave his medical practice in 1891 and devote himself to writing. But he grew tired of his character and had him hurled off a cliff, to his presumed death, in The Final Problem. He later resuscitated3 Holmes due to popular demand. In 1902, Conan Doyle was knighted for his work with a field hospital in South Africa. After his son died in World War I, Conan Doyle became a dedicated4 spiritualist5, attempting to contact his late son through the help of a medium. He died in 1930.

根據亚瑟·柯南·道尔的故事,约翰·H·华生医生出生于1852年7月7日。巧合的是,这位作者是在这个日期在英国去世的,享年71岁。

柯南·道尔于1859年出生于苏格兰,在爱丁堡大学学习医学。在大学里,他和约瑟夫·贝尔博士一起学习,据说约瑟夫·贝尔博士非凡的演绎能力是柯南·道尔笔下的夏洛克·福尔摩斯的灵感来源。

从医学院毕业后,柯南·道尔搬到了伦敦,在那里他行医并写作。他的第一部关于夏洛克·福尔摩斯小说《血字的研究》于1887年在《比顿圣诞年刊》上发表。从1891年开始,一系列福尔摩斯的故事刊登在了《海滨杂志》上。

这些故事的大受欢迎使柯南·道尔在1891年结束了行医,致力于写作。但他对自己笔下这个角色越来越厌倦,因此在《最后一案》中,福尔摩斯掉下了悬崖,被假定为死亡。后来,由于大众的要求,他复活了福尔摩斯。1902年,柯南·道尔因在南非一家野战医院工作而被授予爵士称号。在他的儿子在第一次世界大战中去世后,柯南·道尔成为了一名虔诚的灵媒学家,试图通过一种媒介与他已故的儿子联系。他于1930年去世。
