The Real Swedish Pathological Society
About this episode
The episode discusses the impossibility of James Mortimer's membership in the Swedish Pathological Society as explored by Mattias Boström.
"Corresponding member of the Swedish Pathological Society" [HOUN] When James Mortimer, M.R.C.S. left behind his walking stick in The Hound of the Baskervilles , it was filled with clues — enough to lead Watson to his medical directory, which listed Mortimer as a member of the Swedish Pathological Society. In his 2008 Morley-Montgomery Award-winning article in Vol. 58, No. 4 of The Baker Street Journal , Mattias Boström, BSI ("The Swedish Pathological Society") determined that Mortimer's membership was an impossibility. He explains why and it's just a Trifle. If you have a question for us, please email us at trifles@ihearofsherlock.com. If you use your inquiry on the show, we'll send you a thank you gift.
