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(jù)亞瑟·柯南·道爾的故事，約翰·H·華生醫(yī)生出生于1852年7月7日。巧合的是，這位作者是在這個(gè)日期在英國(guó)去世的，享年71歲。

柯南·道爾于1859年出生于蘇格蘭，在愛(ài)丁堡大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)醫(yī)學(xué)。在大學(xué)里，他和約瑟夫·貝爾博士一起學(xué)習(xí)，據(jù)說(shuō)約瑟夫·貝爾博士非凡的演繹能力是柯南·道爾筆下的夏洛克·福爾摩斯的靈感來(lái)源。

從醫(yī)學(xué)院畢業(yè)后，柯南·道爾搬到了倫敦，在那里他行醫(yī)并寫作。他的第一部關(guān)于夏洛克·福爾摩斯小說(shuō)《血字的研究》于1887年在《比頓圣誕年刊》上發(fā)表。從1891年開始，一系列福爾摩斯的故事刊登在了《海濱雜志》上。

這些故事的大受歡迎使柯南·道爾在1891年結(jié)束了行醫(yī)，致力于寫作。但他對(duì)自己筆下這個(gè)角色越來(lái)越厭倦，因此在《最后一案》中，福爾摩斯掉下了懸崖，被假定為死亡。后來(lái)，由于大眾的要求，他復(fù)活了福爾摩斯。1902年，柯南·道爾因在南非一家野戰(zhàn)醫(yī)院工作而被授予爵士稱號(hào)。在他的兒子在第一次世界大戰(zhàn)中去世后，柯南·道爾成為了一名虔誠(chéng)的靈媒學(xué)家，試圖通過(guò)一種媒介與他已故的兒子聯(lián)系。他于1930年去世。
