I need a catchphrase, really, don't I?
Do I?
Maybe.
Don't know.
Anyway, welcome!
Dr John Watson here, hand-delivering you this three-part conundrum that is the resident
patient.
It's got gross bits, weird bits and spooky bits. More
details about the contents in the episode description along with links to
cool stuff like the Patreon and the shop and the Twitter and yeah enjoy part one
of The Resident Patient.
And yeah that's on.
Hey, there she blows.
How did, what was wrong with it?
Is it water damage?
Because I tried to clean it.
It was circuitry, yeah, so that could point to damage.
But I mean, that could be from anything.
You ever dropped it before?
About 16 times, yeah.
Wow, right.
Okay, yeah, so that's your issue then.
The circuitry's encased in a, well, this is your old one.
Neodymium shell allows for a little memory on the device
for the basic functions.
That's why you were getting inferior recording data.
Course, course.
Some would say I've always had inferior recording data.
Because the podcast I make.
Yeah, I get it.
My name is Dr John Watson.
Once of the British Army Northumberland Fusilier Regiment, now a true crime podcaster based
in central London. I don't have much experience in criminology,
so this is mostly a record of how I met possibly the most brilliant
and bizarre person I have ever and will ever know.
Join me as I document the adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
When? What time would you estimate? I'd say he died... what were we at now? Six? He died at around maybe 3am? He's just getting
some stiffening now in his legs and arms, definitely some in his cheeks and jowls. Still
some slight body warmth, very little behind his neck under his arms so
yeah three hours dead I'd say. Very good, I concur. Always feel bad when the road gets shut,
especially this time of morning. I mean I know he's dead and everything but they've got to go,
they've got to go, yeah I mean what do you reckon? They go back up that way because that's a one way.
So then back up onto the North Circuit. It's a nightmare. Honestly, absolute nightmare.
I mean, obviously worse to be the dead bloke in the middle of the road, but still.
One thing I will point out.
Eyes and skin.
I'm listening. Broken blood vessels in his eyes.
Yes.
And the blue skin. You've got asphyxiation on your hands, potentially, I'd say.
Blood vessels would have gone pop from intravascular pressure.
But no signs of strangulation.
No, yeah, that's... that's where my analysis kind of hits a dead end.
Curious.
What is?
Speaking of blood, we have no blood
spatter here on the road and he hasn't bled out. Right, so moved? Body has been moved
indeed. It was a hit and run. Collision with a vehicle we think that was going around 55.
55 into 20, some people. Unfortunately. For you, of course, not for me, this is very satisfying, but unfortunately
for you, I don't think that's correct, officer. The car wasn't the cause of death.
The tyre print! Look at it! Still visible under his neck, man.
What are you doing? Taking another look at the wounds. Bruising
to the ribs is no more than a couple of inches wide there's no safety glass on the road
well if the car hit him
I dunno waist height which I mean that's possible
does he have a broken hip or fractured pelvis?
erm yeah both
hips definitely
yep I can feel it hips don't lie mate
let me see. Hmm. Yes. Same again. Narrow blunt force impact.
Not something a car would do, but let me think.
Maybe, maybe like the grill of a Range Rover.
They've got those bar-like protrusions.
They'd be a couple of inches thick, I'd say.
Nah, not the new ones.
Not the new ones, no.
No, I think they're probably 10 years old now.
You know, the kind of car that Wayne Rooney used to drive.
Might still drive one, I don't know.
Old Range Rover, yes, possibly.
But there is a compelling new piece of evidence.
Oh, is there?
Yes.
Since when?
Since just this second.
What is it?
I just found it.
Yeah, but what is it?
There's a condom on his penis.
There's a-
A condom on the man's penis.
Er, let me see. Oh.
Oh, indeed.
Why- why's he got a condom on?
For protection.
Against... a range rover?
Against sexually transmitted diseases.
Or perhaps... fathering children to
another man's wife. Sorry could you just go over that again? This man was
discovered naked. Oh a hair here too. I assure you he wasn't discovered naked.
Not by you. I'd say by a man that was wielding a cricket bat at around 3 o'clock this morning.
I would venture, judging by the lack of discharge in the condom, that our dear friend here was
mid-intercourse with a blonde woman, natural blonde from the looks of this hair on him,
but can't be sure, it is rather dark, when his assailant struck, first here, square in
the back, causing a very severe spinal fracture.
A number of vertebrae ruptured.
Here, here, and listen to this one.
Here.
Our man here, no doubt winded and in shock,
rolls away from his engagement and off the bed,
square onto the right side of his face.
Note this carpet burn here.
With his head on the floor and his feet on the bed, his vulnerability is maximised to his attacker.
A downward sweeping blow from the cricket bat comes crashing into the back of the man's neck, here!
Blowing out and fracturing the back of his skull.
And there's your intravascular pressure.
Well observed, Doctor.
Thank you, Detective.
You know, you really are talented at this.
I know, when I pay attention, honestly, I really am a dab hand.
High five.
Sorry, what exactly will we high five in here?
The guy's airway collapsed, so yeah, pretty cool.
Right.
Yeah, no, so sorry, I should be more clear.
The impact of that hit to the back of his head would have caused bleeding into his throat
and neck.
That filled with blood, swells, blocks your windpipe, the guy couldn't breathe, so he
died.
Correct.
A few beatings later, the assailant realises what he has done.
He hastily redresses our friend here, forgetting the condom, but also putting his shirt on
back to front.
He drives for a period of time and dumps this man out in the road and runs over his upper
abdomen with his car.
Well, we'll search his phone, we'll find the messages with the girl and we'll track
down the killer.
Excellent work, Mr. Holmes.
No problem at all.
Always nice to be up to see the sunrise. Even better to do so with a murder.
Oh, and officer, if our friend the cricketer
has a car with, let me check the pattern here.
Yes, that's the one.
With Michelin Pilot Sport 5 225-40R18 tires,
he's your man. Yeah, of course, yeah. Thanks again. tyres. He's your man.
Yeah, of course. Thanks again.
Bye.
No, thank you.
Do we just leave?
He's gone, please.
Yep.
Well, there you go.
There you go.
Enjoy yourself?
Absolutely.
Breakfast time?
Certainly.
What is that?
It's the Titanic breakfast. Breakfast time? Certainly.
What is that? It's the Titanic breakfast.
Why's that? Because the sausages are sinking into the ocean of beans?
No, because it's big.
I see that.
Two sausages, two bacon, two egg, beans, mushrooms, hash browns, fried bread, black pudding.
I can see that.
Yeah, but the listeners can't, can they? Talk us through your breakfast.
I have an omelette.
With?
Cheese.
And?
And toast.
Are you gonna butter the toast?
No.
Why not?
Because it's too cold now and the butter won't melt.
And you don't like that?
No.
Okay, right, fair enough.
Wanna clink teas?
Yes, fine.
Cheers.
Cheers. Cheers.
To the dead condom man.
Your fork is stuck to the microphone.
Oh, haha, here look at that.
I got it repaired the other day, now it's all magnetic.
Magnetic content though buddy, am I right?
How is it magnetic?
Oh we are, aren't we?
Opposites attract and all that sort of thing
I suppose I wouldn't necessarily say we're opposites
Why not? Well, I'm just
Neurodiverse and you're not yeah opposite. It's not the opposite. Why it's just a variation
We're parallels Watson not opposites. Yeah. All right, yeah. Good point. Good point. Different paths, same destination.
Sort of. Oh no, the beans have flooded the eggs!
What's wrong with you?
Just... a little bored. You just solved a murder.
Yes, but I fear I may have solved it
a little too quickly. Well, not for the police. Or for the victim.
Or for the victim's family, mate, or for the
people stuck on the A406.
Give yourself some credit.
Oh, I give myself credit, but now I'm just bored.
Oh, cheer up for God's sake.
You've got your omelette, you've got your cup of tea, you've got the high of solving
crime, murder as well, you know, not just any old crime.
That was ages ago.
That was literally, Sherlock crime that was ages ago. That was literally Sherlock literally
27 minutes ago, maybe I should have dragged it out drag what out the investigation? Yeah. No don't do that
Why because people get funny about it in the reviews?
Are you?
Not gonna eat not hungry. Well when you ordered. Yes, well, I'm not anymore.
This country, honestly.
What now?
Look at that. Crime rates down year on year.
Sherlock.
Makes me sick.
Sherlock.
You don't want to see the murder rates, just downright depressing. Minimal.
Look at that! In the 70s there! Oh, to be around back then!
Sherlock! What?
Take a breath. Calm down. It doesn't matter. There's always cases.
I want mystery. I want intrigue. And I want it now.
For Christ sake you sound just like the bloody listeners. Just wait! Be patient, it'll turn up.
Where? When?
221B Baker Street. It always does. Eat your omelette. Good to see you again.
Thank you boss. Have a good week. Who was that? In the network. Irregular? Indeed. I'm starting
to get busy now. Rush out. This road honestly, look at it. Chain restaurant, chain restaurant, chain restaurant, corner shop, souvenirs, which
are basically just fridge magnets, and then oh look at that, chain restaurant.
You eat at all those places?
Well, I'm not saying I don't like them.
But where's the independence?
You know, the independent spirit?
Right there.
Where?
There.
Ah, yeah.
Course, 221B, yes, we are independent Ah, yeah. Course.
221B.
Yes, we are independent.
Good point.
No.
The gentleman stood outside it.
Oh, yeah.
Who's he?
He's a doctor with his own independent medical practice,
I'd say.
No way.
Way.
You got that just from looking at him?
Correct.
You are heading for another high five at this rate, incredible mate.
Thanks.
Not fill a brother in.
Sorry, what?
Tell me how you came to that conclusion.
Oh, the man is wearing Crocs.
Doctors will often prefer comfortable shoes.
But he's also wearing a Moncler coat that would retail at around...
1500, 2 grand?
So he's private.
Yeah, but I don't think... that would retail at around... $1500? Two grand? So he's private?
Yeah, but I don't think...
Latest generation Apple phone, latest generation Apple AirPods, but not the Apple Watch.
Why?
Errr... I dunno.
Because he wants a watch with a visible and reliable second hand.
For measuring pulses.
Bingo.
Right, you...
Keep your eyes on his hands. What else do you note?
That you may be far sighted, because I can't tell anything about his hands from here.
Well kept nails, as he absolutely should in his profession.
But drying and irritated skin on the palms due to a repeated use of-
Hand sanitiser.
Correct.
Come along.
Doctor, sorry to keep you waiting.
Let's get you in and you'll be off to your private practice in Harley Street in no time.
Brook Street, actually.
Bugger.
After decades of shaky hands caused by debilitating tremors,
Sunnybrook was the only hospital in Canada who could provide Andy with something special.
Three neurosurgeons, two scientists, one movement disorders coordinator,
58 answered questions, two focused ultrasound procedures, one specially developed helmet,
thousands of high intensity focused ultrasound waves, zero incisions,
and that very same day, two steady hands.
From innovation to action, Sunnybrook is special.

Where did you study, Percy?
King's College.
Oh, nice.
What about yourself?
I was at London University then a bit at Bart's.
Erm, yep. Cool, yeah, good stuff.
Yeah, yeah, I had a bit of a love-hate relationship with study
and hard work and applying myself.
So yeah, referred to Netley for army surgeon.
But you got an MD postgraduate?
I did, eventually, yeah.
Yeah, through the army they placed me on the courses.
Great.
Yeah.
Sherlock will be in in a second.
He's probably just getting comfortable.
Yeah, sure. Sure.
How did you hear about us? Google? Through a friend?
Google. Yeah.
Cool. Cool. Search engine optimisation is working well then.
You were quite far down actually.
Oh. Still. Here you are. optimization is working well then? You were quite far down actually. Oh, still?
Here you are. Here I am. Yeah. He'll be here any second. It'll be fine. Things will
start slow and gentle. You won't feel a thing, just a little prick, but enough
about me. No, yeah. no yeah yeah no he'll go easy
you won't want to unsettle you too much or anything like that you are deeply
disturbed dr. Trevelyan are you not oh maybe he will it's Percy please fine but
you dodged the main thrust of my statement right yes I suppose I did. Well, I wouldn't call it a problem as such, but a position.
I find myself...
In. A troublesome benefactor.
How did you know that?
How do you think?
I, of course, would love to answer and brag, as my companion here calls it,
but I think it might do the world of good to analyse it on yourself, under your own esteem.
Um... how would you know? Troublesome benefactor.
Um, well, I'm young.
You are indeed.
So, you'd probably be thinking he's young, and he runs his own practice. That's a bit unusual.
Mm-hmm. Correct. Chugging along nicely now, aren't we?
So yeah, I'm here and I'm probably coming across nervous and stressed and agitated. Yes.
You keep working away at that dryness on your wrist. You're also tapping your foot at quite a rate and your breaths...
I'd say we're close to 40 a minute, Doctor.
Not good. Not good at all.
But please, continue.
Yeah, so...
You know, I'm young and stressed and I have my own practice.
How did I get my own practice at such a young age?
Well, it would have been some kind of golden opportunity. Mm-hmm. That would involve a rich
Benefactor. Yes, and there we go. We have arrived at the deduction junction and now all our little observations may leave the carriage
Right. Yeah, um, sir Percy. Do you want to maybe give us um
Give us a rundown of what's what's going on in your life, basically?
Yeah, so I...
Sorry, I'm just gonna have a sip of water.
Yeah, go for it.
So yes, I did rather well in my schooling.
I put together some well-supported research on Parkinson's disease and epilepsy.
Looking chiefly at a symptom they both share which is catalepsy. The, well,
as you know, Doctor, and you too, no doubt, Mr. Holmes, the freezing, the muscle rigidity
of limbs, sometimes of the whole body, their immobility, their response, or lack thereof
to external stimuli. Yeah, so I put together a study into this and actually in the last year I developed
a programme of treatments that would reduce the risk of cataleptic seizures.
Sorry, this is an enormous backstory isn't it?
No, it's no problem Percy, take your time.
So I was about to switch hospitals actually and I was contacted by a man, Avery Blessington. He was, well, he is elderly, 87 to be exact.
He has lived with cataleptic seizures
for most of his adult life.
And he found that they'd been getting worse
over recent years, since 10, 15 years ago or so.
Essentially, he knew of the treatments, the program that I had developed.
How have these things get around, especially to well-off sufferers like this?
They're constantly searching for groundbreaking studies and new medicines, and yeah, very
much ear to the ground for his condition.
And he took me out for a coffee, we had a chat, and he asked where I was going to work,
and I told him St. Thomas, and he of touched it and something I can't remember.
He just, he didn't seem impressed put it that way.
And he couldn't, he just couldn't believe I wasn't working solely in neurology.
And then he talked me up a bit like that and eventually told me about his history, his
background.
Which is?
Business.
Shipping and logistics, transportation
type stuff. But yeah, he retired early due to his condition, essentially. Spent a lot
of time and money looking for a cure, I suppose. That, or a comfortable life. And so we finished
our coffee and he wanted to take me to Brook Street to show me something.
I made a point that a doctor's spare time is few and far between and he told me it would be worth it and all this.
And yeah, we pull up at 403 Brook Street.
And yes, he just says this is one of my buildings.
He had a few in the area and he mentioned that he was a fork in the road with it. He might sell it, might have it leased or whatever.
And then he says, that was until I read your work.
And I'm like, oh yeah, cool, great.
And he goes, I've registered a company, the Travellian Institute.
Wow, yeah. And I just sort of stood there.
And he's like, well, he opens the door.
I didn't even need proof because you can just tell when someone is loaded.
And he opens the door.
I mean, it's incredible.
It's an incredible place.
Here, there's some pictures. Look.
God, tiny, big.
Bloody big. Bloody big.
All white.
Georgian?
Mm-hmm.
Very high ceilings.
Yeah. Vast.
Imagine having to change the light bulbs there, bloody hell.
So he sponsored your practice?
Yeah.
I don't think that is as remarkable as you make out, Percy.
Huh. Really?
Yes. As you pointed out, you excelled academically.
You excelled in research.
You're young and driven.
I don't think it's unreasonable for a man of his means
to outlay such an investment.
Yeah, I know.
I suppose I'd agree with you there,
but there were some conditions to the Institute,
the clinic, as we call it.
Go on.
Mr. Blessington was to be a resident patient.
Right.
He was going to live on the upper floor and I was going to care for him.
Administer his treatment along with some nurse practitioners and occasional freelance doctors
as and when I needed the extra pair of hands.
Yeah.
Little bit weird. as and when I needed the extra pair of hands. Yeah.
Little bit weird. Having a lot of money opens up options to all manner of indulgences that, yes, would seem weird to those without those sums,
but the man is very ill and wishes to live comfortably.
But I know that's not what troubles you, Doctor.
That's right. We, um...
It's all been a bit of a whirlwind, really.
I'm well paid. He insisted on that.
More in your brains than in your pocket, he says all the time, even now.
And it's a private practice, so Avery does receive the profits, of course.
But unlike my mates from uni, who are doctors as well, I'm paid well, I'm looked after, I have a social life.
So what is the problem?
Remember the robbery in Cavendish Square two months ago?
The break-in?
Yes.
Nothing was taken?
Was it not?
No.
Oh. Well it was the morning after that. There was a few police milling around, as it's only
a stone's throw from us.
One of the nurses said that an officer had come by to ask questions because we obviously
have 24 hour staff in and we do shifts so someone may have spotted something or heard
something or whatever but he, Avery that is, he was so, he was crazed.
He was just ranting like nothing else about security and that policing isn't good enough, it's too dangerous, we could get robbed and all this and even...
Well, we suddenly get a delivery.
And it's all new bolts and locks for the windows and doors and everything. He's ordered it.
And what...well I went up to him I said
Avery we don't need to do this. But he wasn't having any of it. He got four
contractors to come round and fix them. We had someone for bloody, what's it
called, like an alarm security alarm people. He'd replaced all the security
alarms. Got a brand new system. It's Fort Knox, honestly.
There's two codes just to get into the lobby.
Every bloody window, you touch it, and there's lights and alarms, and just...
I mean...
Like, I know, it's safe.
But this is a clinic for very vulnerable people.
So he was deeply perturbed by the break-in?
Yeah. His stress levels increased significantly, and his seizures became a little too tough
to control. But, uh, we got through it. The weeks passed, and although we spotted him
plenty of times just sort of staring out the window and checking the locks. He managed to simmer down
and get back to his everyday self really. Resumed his normal habits. And then two days ago, Monday,
Avery was out the house, out of the clinic, call it what you will.
What was he doing?
Physiotherapy. He doubled the amount of sessions as we were seeing some good results.
The facility he uses has an excellent hydrotherapy suite, so they take him there for a bit.
He was out of the house, and when he came back, I was busy with a patient.
Anyway, he headed up to his room, and then I just hear him absolutely thundering down the stairs.
Bang, bang, bang! He comes into my office, nearly rips the door off its hinges, breaks the window on it,
and he's just like, who the fuck has been in my room? What is going on?
F this, F that, this is a disgrace. Are you trying to get me killed? You...
Well, I won't say what he said, just absolutely off the rails.
Could that be an episode, as it were?
I mean, it can, of course it can. Patients develop strong traumatic responses to this.
Catelepsy is a difficult condition to live with. Seizures do damage. But yeah,
nightmare. He was and has been extremely, extremely difficult since. Something about the place.
Now that I work late at night, well it feels... off.
There is... a presence.
A tension.
I feel like there's eyes on me all the time.
Okay.
I feel like there's movements.
Late at night.
And this is just in the last 48 hours?
Yeah, I think so.
It's been such a weird couple of days.
I don't know.
Um, well maybe I need a break or something.
Things are...
What's that? What do they say?
Things going bump in the night.
Like... haunted?
I mean...
Yeah, maybe you do need a break.
Yes, it certainly won't be ghosts.
I know that. I know, but...
Avery seems to think something is coming.
A curse? A dark grudge?
But I mean, what can I do?
I refer him out the clinic and...
Well, I lose my clinic, don't I?
We can't really... We're not counsellors.
No, no, of course.
I'm here to ask your help on the possible breaking.
And hopefully you can put his mind at ease.
But... I just...
I don't know if I should just...
move him elsewhere?
But then I suppose I'd be moving myself out wouldn't I?
before you do anything I want to see it
course yeah when can we get it in the diary
I'm free right now I've got a appointment so it
oh you won't be required right okay
um Er, okay. Erm...
John?
John?
Huh? Do you want to go and use one of the rooms?
Plenty of beds to go around.
No, yeah.
No, no, I'm sure Sherlock's just wrapping things up.
He still seems quite busy.
He's been a few hours. What's he doing? He's checking the window locks. Oh, which ones? All of them. Right.
Yeah, he can be quite thorough. Good god, it's nearly midnight. Yeah, I'm gonna head
home so yeah, I don't know what you want to do
but you're both more than welcome to stay. I'll see I'll see what Sherlock
thinks is best. Are there patients here overnight right now? Yeah so there's
Avery on the top floor then on the third floor you've got patient Mrs. Marshall
on the ground floor just down there actually I've got an elderly gentleman
he's just come in today so I'd probably say the second floor.
Sure.
Of course yeah there's three rooms on the second floor.
All of them are free.
Just let the practitioners know which one you're in.
Percy thanks mate that's very kind.
Sorry about all of this.
Don't be daft it's fine just
let's get this thing sorted eh? Yeah yeah. I'd rather know if we had a break in or not and
if we have I'll be bloody glad you're both staying over to be honest.
Of course of course. Night John. Yeah, night, Percy. Thanks, mate.
Mariana voice note. Hey, hey, hi.
Hey, Zwill.
Oh, God. Oh, I'm starting to sound like you. Oh yuck. Yuck?
Got a question. Um... um um um um... what was it? Oh what was I gonna say? Oh yeah, I got some
journalist guy calling about your deal with the condom guy found in the road.
I guess he wants the story.
Wants to do a piece or something.
I'll message you his number because he's bugging me and I rather he bugged you.
Great.
So yeah.
Um, yeah.
Oh, are we still doing Volunteer on Sunday or not?
Because I need to book Cos of Roasts.
You know, you know how British people are with that stuff.
Yeah, so, okay. Bye!
Well, this is bloody great, isn't it?
Oh, hello.
Another magnetic mishap here.
Bit of metal stuck on the mic.
Wow.
Oh, God, that is mental.
Come on, you...
Jesus. Oh god, that is mental! Come on, you...
Jesus! Oh, that was like Excalibur.
God, oh, hoping the mic is working.
Please don't break again, you little shit.
Hello.
Hi.
Sorry, erm...
Just caught me talking to myself.
Erm...
Just then.
Oh, that's fine.
I've seen much worse here.
Ah, right, yeah.
Yeah, you work here?
Yes.
Night shift.
Oh, fun.
Ha, not quite.
Sure, yeah.
Sorry, I was gonna guess your accent then, but I thought that would be rude.
I spent quite a bit of time in that part of the world.
I was in Ukraine. Oh then, but I thought that would be rude. I spent quite a bit of time in that part of the world. I was in Ukraine.
Oh.
Wow.
Yeah, yeah.
Fighting?
Wasn't a stag do, or anything?
Of course.
Yes, so I am Lithuanian.
Ah, cool.
