Charing Cross Hospital

The probability lies in that direction, and if we take this as a working hypothesis, we have a fresh basis from which to start our construction of this unknown visitor.

Well, then, supposing that CCH does stand for Charing Cross Hospital, what further inferences may we draw? Do none suggest themselves? You know my methods.

Apply them.

I can only think of the obvious conclusion that the man has practiced in town before going to the country.

I read his record aloud.

The attack was made by two men armed with sticks, and Mr. Holmes was beaten about the head and body, receiving injuries which the doctors describe as most serious.

He was carried to Charing Cross Hospital and afterwards insisted upon being taken to his rooms in Baker Street.

The miscreants who attacked him appear to have been respectably dressed men who escaped from the bystanders by passing through the Café Royal and out into Glasshouse Street behind it.

No doubt they belonged to that criminal fraternity which has so often had occasion to bewail the activity and ingenuity of the injured man.

Yeah.

He just said, "Can you come back? Um, Mom's not well." And I said, "What do you mean not well?" And he said, "We're on our way to Charing Cross Hospital.

Can you meet us there?" And I was like, "Okay." So weirdly, I packed a bag, which I didn't know anything at the time.

I didn't know how serious it was, but I packed a bag with things that would last me, like, four or five days.

So that was quite unusual.

Yeah

And I didn't know how to get to Charing Cross Hospital either.

But I got in the car and I drove straight there, and when I arrived there, there was a car park space right outside, which never happened in the three months that Mom was there after that.
