I have the sentence below from a dialogue between a doctor and a patient. The doctor speaks to the patient in order to reassure him:
"You left the hospital yesterday and only two weeks have passed since the accident"

Thanks!

Those are two independent clauses, so there is no difficulty in having two different time perspectives. I think if the clauses were reversed, as in

Only two weeks have passed since the accident, and/yet you left the hospital yesterday.

that would be a more logical expression, but there's nothing wrong with the sentence as you posted it.
