Calling Upon Patients

[rabidsamfan]

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.




This is a continuation of "Call for the Doctor", which I left off of many moons ago. The tag will lead you to the rest of the drabbles, or you can read them at ff.n.)

I try very hard not to imagine the reaction of the newspaperman's guts on that "dose of salts". *evil grin*
