Remarkable Clinic

We had a patient in the clinic yesterday who, when I noticed her English accent and asked where she was from, told me she was born in Essex.  She was giving me rough distances from London instead of names of places to begin with, but when I confessed to a freshly acquired geographical knowledge of the area she then told me that she was from Witham.   And her sister lives in Benfleet now.  What are the chances? These are places I had never heard of 10 days ago, before I transcribed all the Waller family history to this site last week, then this week I meet someone who is from the very place one branch of the family comes from.

That may have been the remarkable highlight of the day - I am not sure which is more amazing - but, we also had a patient with three (3) spleens.  I'm not making this up.
