An old doc from the Shenandoah Valley told me when he was a kid a bunch a boys up in the holler got in a knife fight. His family doctor was called and he went up to the hollar and started stitching the boys up. He ran out of thread and ask the women of the house if she had any cat gut. One of the fellas getting stitched made a joke about the doc not showing up with enough stitchin material. The doc looked at the guy and said, "Nobody told me I was coming to a quilting bee." Those boys got a good laugh out of that one. I do believe every word of this story.

ReplyDeleteI had to go to the doctor earlier... and I think I'd've druther it were the mountain doc. I just go in there and tell her what's wrong with me and she types it into her computer and cranks out the prescriptions. They either work or do absolutely nothing.
ReplyDeleteI don't think there is an Internist left on the planet.
