Round the Red Lamp (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781438514758)

In England a red lamp is the sign of a general physician. Although Arthur Conan Doyle is best known for his stories about the detective Sherlock Holmes, he was a prolific writer whose other works include science fiction stories, historical novels, plays, romances, poetry, and non-fiction. Round the Red Lamp is a collection of stories all with a medical theme. Doyle said that stories with a graver tone were more likely to have a lasting impact on the reader. Stories in this collection include, Behind the times -- His first operation -- A straggler of '15 -- The third generation -- A false start -- The curse of Eve -- Sweethearts -- A physiologist's wife -- The case of Lady Sannox -- A question of diplomacy -- A medical document -- Lot no. 249 -- The los amigos fiasco -- The doctors of Hoyland -- The surgeon talks.
