impulsereaderHe never claims to be skint..."Told Mike this morning I must be a difficult man to find a flatmate for."
All the dialogue about money is either from John - or Sherlock feeding John's assumption of lack of such.
Hence - my belief that Sherlock is flush with cash gains canon ground.
In a practical sense, what is John’s skill set as a doctor? At the surgery he writes scripts and performs some triage in deciding if someone should be sent to hospital, but he’s over qualified for this. He doctored soldiers who were wounded by bullets and bombs rather than strep throat. So what sorts of injuries do we think John could successfully treat on his own, given the proper supplies?
As an example sort of a scenario – someone is stabbed in the torso. In my head, John binds the wound and then we go off to hospital because the victim needs additional scans and care. But if someone is stabbed relatively superficially in the leg, and once the wound is bound he can walk just fine, indicating no muscle damage – in my head perhaps John could stich this wound on his own if he’s not worried about internal bleeding and such. Would he set a broken bone? Probably not without an x-ray unless it was a real emergency situation, I would imagine.
Sorry, just trying to set my doctor so he shows off best in the available light...without being a show off...
