"there is nothing more stimulating" [HOUN]

The latest entry in the BSI Press Professions series is a sequel: Stimulating Medicine: More Nerve and Knowledge: Doctors, Medicine, and the Sherlockian Canon. What makes it even more interesting is that it was developed during the pandemic.

Bob Katz, BSI ("Dr. Ainstree") and Andy Solberg, BSI ("Professor Coram") joined forces for the sixth time, and join us for a sixth time to discuss this volume. More than the people, tools, and places that made up Nerve and Knowledge, this volume delves deeper into the world of medicine and into the human psyche itself.

The Canonical Couplet features some erstwhile entries from ChatGPT, as well as the actual puzzle for you to solve: two lines of poetry that summarize one of the 60 stories. If you're the lucky winner whose correct entry is randomly chosen, you'll be the recipient of a copy of Stimulating Medicine.

Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by April 14, 2023 at 11:59 a.m. EST. The winner will be chosen at random from among all the correct answers. All listeners are eligible to play.
