 Dr. Watson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John H. Watson is a fictional character, the sidekick of Sherlock Holmes, the fictional 19th century detective created by Arthur Conan Doyle.
In Conan Doyle's early rough plot outlines, he intended that the role of Watson would be filled by two junior detectives known simply as Sandifer and Phillip; these characters became merged as "Watson." In turn, the introduction of Dr. Watson in the Holmes novels proved a precursor to other, similar characters.
Watson is not a stupid man (he is, after all, a medical doctor), but he does not have Holmes' insight.
