A conversation with medical historian and NYTimes bestselling author, Dr. Lindsey Fitzharris, talking to us from England about her books – including “The Butchering Art: Joseph Lister’s Quest to Transform the Grisly World of Victorian Medicine,” “The Facemaker: A Visionary Surgeon’s Battle to Mend the Disfigured Soldiers of World War I”, about Dr. Sir. Harold Gillies, and her latest, the wonderful “Sleuth-Hound: The Case of the Real Sherlock Holmes,” about surgeon Joseph Bell, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s acknowledged model for his famous detective. Given that so many traits associated with Sherlock Holmes have become the basis for over a century’s worth of autistic-coded detectives, Dr. Fitzharris speaks about whether there’s any reason to believe if a case for Holmes’s neurodivergence might have any basis in historical fact.
