A suggested version:

The 199… Medical Conference was held in London. Dr Baker was invited to go to the conference because of the carelessness of somebody. Actually he was not the person to be incited. At the meeting, Dr Lively, who was going to give a talk, failed to come because of bad weather. So the organizer asked Dr Baker, Who was considered to be Dr. P Baker, to give a talk instead. Later it was found out that Dr Baker studied the same field as Dr. Lively. So he gave a talk on ENT which, later, was well receivel.
