Doyle ranked "The Adventure of the Resident Patient" eighteenth in a list of his nineteen favourite Sherlock Holmes stories.
- The text of the story that appears in the first British edition of The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes is slightly different from that which was published in The Strand. When the story was republished in the anthology, a section was added in which Holmes appears to read Dr. Watson's mind, using a technique which Watson thought was impossible when he came across it in a story by Edgar Allan Poe. The section originally appeared in the short story "The Adventure of the Cardboard Box", which was omitted from The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes due to its content. The section does not have any bearing on the plot of either story.
