Up until I was 5 or 6 years old, (mid 1950's) our pediatrician would make house calls. Imagine that a doctor coming to your house for people being sick. Think they would go back to those days?
I remember house calls also. They were not onerously expensive, either. Those days won't be within living memory much longer; it's important that the truth not be lost of how much better, more humane, and less corrupt the medical profession was. People tend to think that how things are now is just how they have to be.
Yes, if you needed an operation it didn't bankrupt you, no one had health insurance and most families only had one income.
Sad, but so true.
