I'm literally writing about this case right now for my next book SLEUTH-HOUND, about Joseph Bell, the Scottish doctor who inspired the creation of Sherlock Holmes, and the milieu of medicine, mystery, and crime that surrounded him. I can't wait to share this book with you in 2026!

Three marble sculptures of women wearing veils and flowered crowns on their heads.

Three marble sculptures of women wearing veils and flowered crowns on their heads.

Veiled Figures by Raffaele Monti (1818–1881). Monti was an Italian sculptor, author and poet born in Milan. He studied under his father, the noted sculptor Gaetano Matteo Monti in the Imperial Academy. In 1846, Monti travelled to England and later settled there.

Thank you Richard! That's very kind of you. It is horror too in a way - in 18th-century England.

A pilgrimage to the house where medical history hero Ignaz Semmelweiss lived and is buried - now a medical history museum - in Budapest. Semmelweiss campaigned for doctors to wash their hands to get rid of germs and went mad because nobody believed him. @drlindseyfitz.bsky.social

The main example I know of off the top of my head was Emily Wilding Davison who died running in front of the king's horse. There were questions then and since as to her mental health. She had also thrown herself from a balcony in prison. There has been lots written about her already of course...
