He uses his medical knowledge widely in the Sherlock Holmes stories. He bases the deductive skills of his hero detective on the diagnostic techniques a GP uses with a patient.

This all contributes to the enduring popularity of the Sherlock Holmes stories, over 130 years after the first story was published.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"ql-align-justify\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"ql-align-justify\"\u003eAn amazing 52 diseases feature in the Sherlock Holmes stories.
