Yes I remember Conan Doyle describing Dr. Bell. He would bring in an indigent patient, look him over and then describe everything about him to the medical students. He would always be right.

Not only that, Dr. Bell was a "real Life" police consultant.
In other words, there's a bit of truth in the Holmes stories.
