Dr. Brooks called on Len Fairclough at 9 Coronation Street the evening after he was concussed after being shoved to the floor by Rita Littlewood following an argument at the Gatsby Club. As he was still groggy the next morning, Elsie Howard called the doctor in who diagnosed mild concussion, gave him some pills for his headache and told him to take a couple of days off work until the dizziness had passed, although he was perfectly fit in all other respects. He left with instructions to call him again if his headache continued.
