Re: Tropes that irrationally annoy the hell out of you.

[(Anonymous)]

To be fair, the transmissibility of tuberculosis wasn't particularly well-understood during the Victorian era. Some people and groups were considered to be more prone to consumption than others, but there was some debate over whether the cause was environmental, behavioral, or something inherent in the person's constitution.

That said, I've read that story and was annoyed by it. Holmes and Watson were both horribly OOC and the whole thing was a weirdly unsatisfying read.

I think it was established to be contagious in the 1880s? The story is taking place well after that. I'm no expert on the history of medicine, however, so I can't claim to be particularly well-informed about the prevailing attitudes.

MTE :/ I don't know how it ended up on the main rec list. Especially since it's shippy. There must be a lot of quality shippy stuff out there.
