What did Sir Arthur Conan Doyle major in?

Answer 1

He obtained a degree of Doctor of Medicine with the special study of tabes dorsalis from the University of Edinburgh in 1881. He was a ship's surgeon, studied ophthalmology, and opened a couple of different private practices, which yielded few, if any, patients. He had been writing part-time for many years up to that point with limited success, so he finally decided to become a full-time writer in or about 1891.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a physician before he became a full time writer, so he was Doctor Arthur Conan Doyle. He was a general practitioner (a 'family doctor') before he specialized in diseases of the eye.
