Most doctors had stopped making house calls by the late 60’s. I do remember the doctor making a house call when my great-grandmother was sick, so that would have been at least ’67 or ’68.
I can vividly remember our doctor’s last housecall in the Winter of 1967-68. My sister and I both had chicken pox and my sister came down with strep throat at the same time. (She caught it from our baby-sitter who was carrying but presenting no symptoms at the time.)

Man, doctors in 1965 still made house calls, huh?

The Dr never came to the house but I still remember when the milkman delivered milk to our house in real milk bottles. No horse though!!

Emmy Lou’s parents must trust the doctor to be in there alone with her. Too bad I don’t know what she meant by the pill turning the corner.
