Was Arthur Conan Doyle a skeptic of established science?

Answered in Arthur Conan Doyle's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

My engagement with science was always one of deep respect for established principles, but not one that precludes further inquiry. My medical training instilled in me a profound appreciation for empirical evidence and logical reasoning. However, the limitations of our current understanding in both medicine and the broader scientific field occasionally lead one to consider phenomena that lie beyond immediate explanation. This does not constitute skepticism of science itself, but rather an openness to the possibility of new discoveries and deeper truths, much like exploring the 'The History of Spiritualism' and its documented cases.
