A couple of experiences re-
cently have confirmed some-
thing I've long suspected,
People spend far too much time
going to the doctor. Most doc-
tors would probably agree.
My wife, who could go 15
rounds with Cassius Clay and not
breathe hard, goes to the doctor
about twice a month. He says,
"Well, you're certainly looking
in fine fettle", gives her a bottle
of pills and sends her about her
business.
My experience with doctors
has been on two levels, the so-
cial and the professional. So-
cially, you can't beat them.
They like a drink, a good story,
good company, Professionally
... well, let me tell you.
Just after the war, the medi-
cal profession told me I had tu-
berculosis. There was a shad-
ow on my •chest X-ray. They
pumped out my stomach and
poked among the horrors ex-
humed. They vampired blood
out of my arm. They sucked
marrow -out of my breast -bone.
Ever so often, 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 intelli-
gently, though I'll swear it was
a different one every time.
I still think they gat a fly-
speck en the original X-ray. But
I bear them no grudge. This
used to happen to me during
the war. We'd be flying form-
ation, on a mission, heads
swivelling, wildly to watch for
German fighters. Suddenly, I'd
spot a whole gagle of the foe
and holler over the radio,
"Enemy aircraft, above, 10
o'clock!"
After a frantic silence, in
which everyone else swept the
sky with his eyes, a sardonic
voice would announce„ "Smil-
ey's got oil specks on his wind-
screen again."
So I forgave the docs. In 12

months, •they couldn't prove, at
least to my satisfaction, that I
had T13. But they needed the
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 spe-
cialist. 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" irritation of the
lumbar region." I was pretty
scared and asked him what it
involved. "To put it in lay-
man's language," he pontificat-
ed, "you have a sore back".
Couple 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 off, 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. He took X-rays,
wrenched it until I was bathed
in sweat, and told me I had a
bad knee and should be careful
with it.
Recently, 1 went to the veter-
ans' hospital, for my regular
chest check-up. The doc couldn't
find the scar on my X-ray, and
had to ask me which lung it
had 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 spe-
cialist, 15 years ago, prescribed
the glasses 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 were as useful as
window panes. He didn't realize
I' had them renewed at about
$25 a rattle, four or five times
since the original prescription,
whenever I'd broken them or
lost them.
Well, I'm going to fool him.
I'm going to go right on wear-
ing those glasses, if only to hide
the bags under my eyes.
Doctors! It's not that I'm pre-
judiced. Some of my best
friends are doctors. But how
would you like your sister to
marry one of them?
