The Mystery of Watson's Second Wound

"Your hand stole towards your own old wound" [CARD]  Watson returns from Afghanistan, recovering from a wound in the shoulder and the aftereffects of disease. But we later discover that he had a leg wound as well.  Could it be the delirium that caused him to misstate his injuries? Or was there another reason for his error? Two old pieces of Sherlockian scholarship – one from the 1940s and another from the 1950s – each have a different theory. Which is correct? It's just a Trifle.   Have you left us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts yet?
