Folks, this was made when doctors still made house calls and a visit cost about $3.00 - Way before HMOs, HIPPA, and all things medical today! Great era for doctors back then - they actually got to know their patients.

If anyone is interested Marcus Welby, MD can be seen on the rtn network you have to check your local station.

I'm pretty sure an office visit was more than $3.00, even in 1969.

And I don't think very many docs were still making housecalls then, either.

Maybe in 1949...or even 1959, in a few places...but 1969? I doubt it.

@bobfritz1466 - LOL!! I was thinking the same thing...This was the "Leave It To Beaver" house, and if you remember that show, you'd know the music they played was just bad.

[tranurse]

@TypesALot well, they have docs now that if you pay a huge yearly fee, they see you and only you, do housecalls etc etc etc. i can only afford the hmo kind.

Did anybody else ever walk out of their house with such dramatic music?
