問題詳情：
I entered St. Thomas’ Hospital as a medical student at the age of 18 and spent five years there. I was an unsatisfied student I had always wanted to be a writer and in the evening, I wrote and read. Before long, I wrote a novel, called Liza of Lambeth. I sent it to a publisher and it was accepted. It came out during my last year at the hospital and had something of success. It was of course an accident, but naturally I didn’t know that. I felt I could afford to give up medicine and make writing my profession. So, three days after I graduated from the school of medicine, I set out for Spain to write another book. Looking back now, I realize I was taking a fearful risk. It never even happened to me.
The next ten years was very hard, and I earned 100 pounds a year. Then I had a bit of luck. The manager of the Court Theatre put on a play that failed and the next play he arranged to put on was not ready, and he was at his wit’s end. He read a play of mine and, though he did not much like it, he thought it might just run for six weeks till the play he had in mind could be produced. It ran for 15 months. Within a short while I had four plays running in London at the same time. Nothing of the kind had even happened before. I was the talk of the town. One of the students at St. Thomas’ Hospital asked the famous surgeon(外科醫生) with whom I had worked whether he remembered me. “Yes, I remember him quite well,” he said. “One of our failures, I’m afraid.”
