- I was reading a review of a Hemingway biography and it
- mentiones that Ernest Hemingway's father invented a medical
- instrument which he refused to patent because "it would be wrong
- to profit from something that benefits humanity."
-
- Would anyone know what that instrument is? The review does not
- mention it.
