remember the days when plumbers and Doctors actually lived in the same neighborhoods ....their kids actually went to the same schools and they actually had barbeques with each other's families....
I actually remember when Doctors made HOUSE CALLS!
I remember as a child being sick at my grandparents home while mom was a work and Doctor Reid arrived with one of those old school doctors bags, checked me out, gave me a shot and left some pills for me...I
I also remember family lore (substantiated) that during the depression that my Uncle John had his appendix taken out by the Doc that lived next door on the dining room table and my Grandpa paid the Doc back with manual labor.
Yep, stuff has changed and not for the better IMHO
