I was, with the best bidder sitting in my chair at the other table.

I also heard he has a strong background in medicine from some South American University.

I wouldn't know. Oh, "Best bidder" is just his nickname, don't take it too seriously.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

I bid 5C over the double and this got doubled too. I think that was poor bridge though, I should have let partner make the decision, so I should either pass or redouble to show doubt.

Partner had x J9x AJx KJ10xxx, for how many of you is this a 2C overcall?

The opponents lead two rounds of spades. Partner ruffed, pulled trump in to rounds and stripped spades and diamonds (with a diamond finesse). He lead the heart jack and claimed.

♥KQx was offside so a heart lead would have defeated 5C (and this is what happened at the other table).

I think that 4H is a little better, with the 2-2 club split it shouldn't be a problem.
