Sammanfattning
«’I’m a Norwegian doctor,’ he stated simply, and the crowd stepped aside». The most famous quotation ever ascribed to a Norwegian doctor is from the crime writer Øvre Richter Frich’s series of novels on the surgeon Jonas Fjeld. The quotation has been reproduced in a number of versions, by the author himself as well as many others, but it cannot be found in exactly this form in any of Frich’s books. We believe that an explanation of this well-established turn of phrase is in order.
