Poor Mr Jones.  It is very unfortunate he has bright red hair.  I could barely refrain from laughing in his presence, which would have been completely unprofessional given that he is my patient.  Luckily he had left the premises before I caught Mary’s eye and we both began to laugh.  Jabez Wilson does indeed have a lot to answer for.

Oops...I bet it happens though, to brighten up a long surgery:-p

Yes, Watson looks at his patients in the waiting room and hurries back into his consulting room before he starts to laugh.

I doubt one can practice medicine for long without a sense of humour:-p

Oh, poor Wilson. He does get a lot of laughter at his expense.

All rather unfortunate!

All Watson's red-headed patients probably talk about how their charming and friendly doctor always greets them with a broad smile ^__^

Yes, he is clearly delighted to see them :D

Hee hee. It's like the MASH episode where they throw a red-themed party, which includes everyone dyeing their hair red. When an MP comes in - and pulls off his helmet to show a natural fiery-red head - everyone laughs.
