Abstract
In 1933 the Swedish ophthalmologist Henrik Sjögren defended his doctoral thesis at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. He obtained a mediocre evaluation for his thesis and had to leave academia, but continued to publish from his outpost in Jönköping. Ultimately he got well-deserved international recognition for his work, after a study on “Sjögren’s syndrome” was subsequently published in 1954 by W. Morgan in New England Journal of Medicine.
