Plot summary
Sparrow has just qualified and wants to work as a surgeon, but St Swithin's has only one senior house surgeon post and Charles Bingham, who thinks highly of himself, wants the same job. While serving in casualty, Sparrow does not recognize Charles Hopcroft, one of St Swithin's governors, and tells him curtly to wait his turn. Believing the surgical post is now beyond him, Sparrow moves to an industrial town to work in general practice. The bulk of the work there falls to him, night calls included, and his partner's wife is flirtatious with him. He then joins Dr Potter-Shine's Harley Street practice as a locum, where the patients are mostly eccentric aristocrats and nervous society women.
