DOCTORS GIVE HIM A PAIN
A Couple ofexperiences re-
cently have . confirmed ; some-
thing I've long .. suspected. People
spend .far .too muchtime going to.
the. doctorMost doctors would
probably agree.
'My wife, who ' could go 15
rounds with Cassius. Clay and not
breathe hard,' 'goes ..to the "doc.
for 'about twice' a ; month. He says,
"Well, you're certainly ,-looking in
fine fettle", gives . her a bottle of
pills and sends : her aboi,t her bus-
iness.
Myl experience with doctors
has. been; on two levels, the ' so-
cial and the professional:; .Social-
ly, : you can't beat them, ;They -like
a drink, a good story, good com-
pany. Professionally well, let
me tell . you.
Just after the war, the medical
profession told me I ' had tuber-
culosis. There was a shadow on
my .".chest.' X-ray. They pumped
out my ' stomach. and poked a-
round among the horrors, exhum-
ed., They vampiredblood out ' of
my arm. They sucked marrow
out ' of- my breast -bone.
Every sooften, a specialist 'in
reading X-rays would show me
the "shadow" on my lung. There
were ' about 484 :. shadows :on the
X-ray. I'd .: : nod intelligently,.
though I'll swear it:• was ;a differ:-
-ent ; one every time.
I still think they • got a fly -speck
on the original X-ray.' But I bear
them no grudge. This'' used to
happen to me 'during the. war..:
We'd be ' flying formation,' on a
mission heads swivelling ;' wildly
to watch for German fighters.
Suddenly. I'd spot a , whole gag-
gle of the foe and holler over, the
radio, "Enemy ' ' aircraft; . above,
10 o'clock!" ' • '

CHRISTINE TH,OMPSON. 'FRES,
HOLYROO,D NO. 1...44+ CLUB.' •
(Intended For • Last 'Week)
The first 4-iI Homemaking, .Club
meeting.,. of Holyrood leo. 1 was
held 'on February • 8th,' 1965. The,
project IS. "The Club ,Girl Stands
on Guard. The .meeting was op-
eiied with'the 4-iH Pledge which'
which ;everyone else swept the
sky`'.. with his eyes, :., a ` sardonic
voice would announce, "Smiley's
got oil ' specks on his windscreen'
again.",
So;: I ' forgave the, .docs.. In , 12
months; . they' couldn't prove at
least to my satisfaction,, .that:, 1,
had TB.: But. .they needed tile:
practice. and I' bore no ill: will.
About eight years later, " I had
a. very'sore . back. Could hardly
straighten up''. : I went to a . speci-
alist. He : • took. $28 •. worth of. X-
rays and.: a ten -dollar' fee, ' poked.
me' painfully, and ; on the second'
visit informed' me that I. had' a
"severe iritation ...of'. the lumbar
region." I was pretty. 'scared •and -
asked 'him, what 'it involved: "To
put it in layman's language", ' he
.pontificated, "you have 'a sore
back."..
:�Gouple .of years;later, I hob-
bled into another doctor's office.
My./ knee ' was " acting up., A Ger-
man feldwebel ;had, tried to' ,kick
the kneecap ' 'orf, one' day. in 1944,
and :every` so .often it went on the
,fritz,::The doc twisted it until I
screamed,: told me' 'it .. was' very
painful, ; and sent me to 'a `special-
ist. He took X-rays, wrenched` it
until I was bathed in. sweat,'and.
:told .me ..I .had ` 'a bad knee and
should, 1* careful.. with it. ..
Recently, 1 went'to the'"veter-
ans''.
veter
pans' • . hospital, for . my ': regular
chest :check-up. • The. doc couldn't;
find the scar on my' X-ray, and:
had t�ask me which' Tung it `hada
been. 1 ` didn't; know: •
'The other. day, I • went : to an
eye specialist., I can ` see' fine, but.
my ` wife . thought , I should go. I
haven't had , my eyes checked.
since • another: eye , specialist,. 15 .i
'years ago, 'prescribed thee' glass=.;
es . I., wear ..for reading.
Well, •.. this young' fellow the
other day, who can give you an
appointment „ within , four months
of, the , time you call, . told me I
didn't need glasses. Said, the ones
I had *ere as; useful as :window
panes. He didn't' realize I'd had
them renewed` ,about $25 . a rattle,
four or; five times since .the orig-
inal prescription, whenever I'd
broken them or. lost ';them.
Well, I'm going. to fool him. Ism
going to go' right ` on wearing
those ,glasses,, : if only to> hide. - the
_bagi under my eyes.
;Doctors ! It's' .not . that,. I'm pre-
judiced.. Some
re-judiced.:Some of `my best friends
are doctors. But how would/you'
like your .sister to marry one, of
