"Bell, best known for being Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's model for Sherlock Holmes, was a colleague of [Joseph] Lister at the ''Royal Infirmery'' in Edinburgh and was one of the first surgeons to adopt the antiseptic technique. Dr. Bell was especially interested in surgery on children, had a gentle touch, and in 1887 was appointed surgeon to the first surgical ward in the ''Royal Edinburgh Hospital for Sick Children''."<ref>{{REFbook

== Circumcision promotion ==
In 1873, Bell claimed he cured several boys of bed wetting by circumcising them, so he recommended [[circumcision]] for intractable bed-wetting (see publication).
