Why this must be read:
I love a story where Watson's medical skills and intelligence shine through, as well as his heart, and this is a perfect example. I'll also admit to enjoying a "first time" story where Holmes has some experience in his background before the two of them come together, although I'm nearly as uncertain about the quality of that experience as Watson is in this situation. But Pandapony manages to make the matter credible, giving both men something to learn before they come to the ending. And as for that ending... well, have the cold shower waiting!
I cannot count how many times fellow soldiers would remain silent, hunched over, and in terrible pain, rather than submit their embarrassing ailments to medical care.
Nevertheless, I had mastered the art of convincing shy soldiers into allowing me to treat them. Shrapnel and bullets hit thighs and backsides as easily as arms and stomachs, and to a doctor, there was no difference, other than the sensitivity and sympathy of care.
This prior experience is what alerted me to the condition of my friend, Sherlock Holmes. The stiff way he walked; his hunched-over frame; the wide, glazed expression in his normally bright eyes; the sheen of sweat on his forehead – these were all clues to me that Holmes had injured himself in some unseemly location that evening.
