House Calls
A country doctor's calls, from the years when the doctor came to you and the drive was half the job.
Read the back cover
Doc Bragg practiced in one county from nineteen fifty-one to nineteen eighty-six, and for the first nine years of it he was the only doctor for six hundred square miles.
Every episode is one call: the road out, the house at the end of it, the family, and what he did about it. Some of it is medicine. Most of it is knowing people — which is the part they never taught him, and the part the job turned out to be.
No emergencies for their own sake and nothing to flinch at. Twenty-five minutes with a man who liked his work.
