It's over here. And of course you have to start at the bottom and work backwards, but that is the nature of lj tags.

Calling Upon Patients

Anstruther was all too glad to be able to return his attention to only his own patient list, no matter that it had been supplemented by several names of people who preferred a physician of less notoriety.

But for all the patients I had lost, I'd gained another, if only temporarily. The young newspaperman who thought to worm an interview from me pretended digestive troubles, and I was entirely too happy to prescribe -- and administer -- a dose of salts. Something to tell Holmes about, I thought, and found myself unbearably glad that I would get the chance to do so.
