We weren't big on doctors. In that era most people saw a doctor when there
was something obviously wrong that you couldn't fix yourself. Most people
didn't have medical insurance or a plan at work. otoh, you could pay for a
office visit or house call out of pocket without mortgaging the farm. You
have to remember even Medicare was started in '65. Health insurance and
the health industry have fed on each other.

Since he died at work my father was autopsied. He had arteriosclerosis,
Type 2 diabetes, and a few other problems. As far as he was concerned he
was as healthy as a horse.

This makes one think. How much is sickness, and how much is the belief of sickness? It's almost as if a doctor can make things worse sometime. =/
