Reviews


(2.5 stars)

Some stories didn't have much to do with doctors. Some revolved around sentiment & love. From the title I expected doctors & medicine to be the focus of every story. The 2 chapters by Suprata were difficult to fully follow.

A Wonderful Story Teller & Doctor

Engaging stories with medical or scientific themes.

CARRY ON, DOCTOR

I really do enjoy the Sherlock Holmes Stories better than Enola Holmes because Enola Holmes was not written by Arthur Conon Doyle she was written by an american author called Nancy Springer. But the Enola Holmes Netflix Movies were very much like Harry Potter Series I really did not enjoyed them but I enjoyed seeing Sherlock Gnomes it was a super splendidly awesome I really enjoyed this Story.
