We had a wonderful family doctor that did and missed him much when he retired. Course in the country I could imagine they had more miles to travel. Good men all.

Willing to make house calls, etc. They really were dedicated to their field and not to what kind of money they could earn.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-45032047465110960982019-11-03T17:41:04.475-05:002019-11-03T17:41:04.475-05:00Mom told me many stories of the doctors in her rur...Mom told me many stories of the doctors in her rural community who traveled around with horses or cars you showed. <br /><br />He did everything, as you wrote.

My mother recalls when I was so sick with the chicken pox (may have been mumps) that Dr. Post had to come to the house. I sure appreciate modern-day medical miracles (how's that for an unintended alliteration?) … but I think we all long for practitioners like the Country Doctor or Marcus welby, MD.Mevely317https://www.blogger.com/profile/14786988262452989091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-81019113830779674982019-11-03T10:02:14.343-05:002019-11-03T10:02:14.343-05:00So funny reading about the country doctors method ...So funny reading about the country doctors method of giving a shot.
