I'm really enjoying this and
I think the relationship between Sherlock and John is brillantly drawn but all of a sudden this chapter threw me. 'Surgical clinical clerkship' doesn't exist in the UK, and any training would not take place in an NHS hospital rather than a small private surgery, see medical education in the UK wikipedia page for info in how it is done here. It is also very, very unlikely that heart surgery would be carried out in a small private clinic rather than a hospital, private or NHS, with an ICU.

Oh man, and I thought I'd researched it so well this time. The information I looked at must have been dated or incorrect. My thinking is that this surgery doubles also as a very small hospital, but obviously this didn't come across. I'm so sorry for these rather glaring inconsistences and I hope it didn't/doesn't ruin your enjoyment of the rest of this story...

It's kind of breaking my heart, making John and Sherlock quarrel like this

It's breaking my heart too! :-( I'm very nearly in tears, as they do the things they usually do - go to crime scenes, go to Angelo's - but with the breakup hanging over them.

Interesting about the doctor - he doesn't say he didn't do it, he just says he has a perfect alibi.

"You and Moorland - were you close?"

Thorsten's jaw sets. "I'm not close to anybody. But I suppose so, yes."

That's interesting. Wonder if he and Moorland were having a situation similar to John and Sherlock's?

Sherlock's speech at the end - that everyone uses him for what they can get, then throw him away, and that he was an idiot for thinking John was different - my god, that's so incredibly sad.

A great story, love the dynamic you've built between them, and yes angst, but not gratuitous.

Ouch. I feel for both of them.
