35 - Sherlock

from Bedside Rounds · host Adam Rodman, MD

Why do doctors love Sherlock Holmes so much? In this episode, we'll explore this endearing, nerdy obsession with the good detective, from Holmes' medical origins and influences, the parallels with medical reasoning, and how the Holmes stories still influence medicine to this day. Plus a new #AdamAnswers about the origin of the white coat. All this and more in Episode 35 of Bedside Rounds, a tiny podcast about fascinating stories in clinical medicine!
