absolute hits from the Circle's doctor:
telling a shell-shocked hysterical sailor "this is my operating room, if you're just going to scream, you need to go outside", but "outside" is either the deck of a ship in the middle of a hurricane or the irradiated, partially flooded hold of said ship
advising a woman who is actively on fire to sit down
trying to offer medical assistance to the woman he is stabbing and who is trying to strangle him
telling a man with a knife protruding from his chest to "chill"

Good Omens Victorian headcanon I came up with today:
Sometime between 1881 and 1886 (several decades after leaving Crowley in St James Park and a few years before his instruction in the Gavotte), Aziraphale goes on a daytrip to Southsea in Portsmouth to intercede in the case of a young doctor whose practice is failing and stop him abandoning his calling.
After his mission goes unintentionally and dramatically (and probably hilariously) awry, Aziraphale uses too many miracles in front of the doctor, giving him reason to confide in his new friend, Alfred Wilks Drayson, the president of the Portsmouth Literary and Scientific Society, and, at his suggestion, begin a series of investigations into the possibility of psychic phenomena and a lifelong belief in the supernatural and spiritualism.
Aziraphale is however successful in his mission: Dr Arthur Conan Doyle sells his first Sherlock Holmes mystery, A Study In Scarlet, to Ward Lock &Co. in November 1886, having used his mysterious intervenor as the basis for the character of… Dr Watson.
Also: Part of their meeting involves Conan Doyle blushing my brining up a new genre he’s interested in writing, detective fiction, and Aziraphale immediately gushing about Edgar Allen Poe and ‘The Murders in the Rue Morgue’ and how great the character of C. Auguste Dupin is, which annoys Conan Doyle so much that he adds a bit to A Study in Scarlet where Holmes describes Dupin as “a very inferior fellow”.
Also: the mission goes so wrong it’s the reason Aziraphale later gets a gun licence.
Additional Fun Fact: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s son, Adrian, later wrote an additional Sherlock Holmes mystery called ‘The Adventure of the Dark Angels’… 🤔
The Two Fixed Points in a Changing Age’?! That’s somehow a Good Omens fanfic title right there.
(No it’s not a real Strand Magazine I know, but that title was too good!)
This headcanon partially inspired by @gargoyle-doyle ‘s posts about Neil Gaiman’s family having had a grocers in Portsmouth - (which for some reason I can’t link because paste isn’t working) and because I used to live round the corner from where Conan Doyle’s practice had been, and up the road from the Portsmouth Museum which has half an entire floor dedicated to Conan Doyle and Holmes.

'Andrew Scott revealed his accomplishments have been bittersweet since the death of his mother last month.
In March, the TV actor announced his beloved mum Nora had tragically died after a short illness, just days before they had planned to celebrate Mother's Day together. She passed away at St Vincent's Hospital in Dublin while being surrounded by her loved ones.
The star - who features in a new Netflix adaption of The Talented Mr. Ripley from Patricia Highsmith - - has now paid tribute to Nora whom he still mourns and said: "She was the source of practically every joyful thing in my life."
The Fleabag star, 47, shared his sorrow following his recent loss and says he's managing each day as it comes. "Well, you know, you have to — life goes on, you manage it day by day," he told The Sunday Times.
"It’s very recent, but I certainly can say that so much of it is surprising and unique, and there is so much that I will be able to speak about at some point." Scott went on to reveal that he has been trying to keep himself busy and remain positive.
Andrew has received numerous accolades due to his on-screen performances, including a BAFTA Television Award and two Laurence Olivier Awards, and has previously been nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award and two Golden Globe Awards.
More recently, the star went on to collect a Critics’ Circle Theatre award for his performance in the West End show Vanya. Scott confessed that his mother had inspired him to experiment with fashion. "My mother was an art teacher, she was obsessed with all sorts of design,' he recalled. 'She loved jewellery and jewellery design.
"Anything that is visual, tactile, painting, drawing, is a big passion of mine, so I have tremendous respect for the creativity of designers."
Nora - who was mother to Sarah, Andrew, and Hannah - appeared to be one of Scott's biggest supporters and would often visit him while he worked on set. However, six years before her sad passing, Nora revealed that she was sent a stunning bouquet of roses after she informed Anthony Hopkins that she was ill.
During a meeting with the actor on the set of King Lear, in which Andrew played Edgar, she informed him that she was unwell and Anthony went out of his way to cheer her up. Speaking on RTÉ, she told Ryan Tubridy: "There was probably more than three dozen red roses and attached to them was a little card from Anthony saying 'Be well, sending hugs', and all sorts of things.
"I was thrilled to get such a gift and for the kind thought that promoted it. Now I have recovered, I can enjoy these exquisite roses that grace our hall. It was such a beautiful gift" which came after Andrew and his All of Us Strangers co-star Paul Mescal revealed that they were not fond of the idea of their parents seeing the movie.'
