Dr. Lomax worked in the pathology laboratory at Ashbridge Cottage Hospital.

Biography

Lomax was not amused when Dr. Henderson sent him a blood sample that was not human. Thinking it a prank and a waste of his time, Dr. Lomax paged Dr Henderson who rung him back whilst en route to radiology to find the culprit behind what Henderson similarly thought was a prank: two hearts appearing on the chest X-ray film of his new patient.

Dr. Henderson assured a sceptical Dr. Lomax that he drew the blood himself from an adult male patient and that it was his responsibility to care for him, whether that made him a doctor, a veterinarian or a raving lunatic.
