Boxcars711 Old Time Radio Pod - The Family Doctor "Ep.25 The Carnival Ep.26 Patchwork" (1932)


Ep.25 "The Carnival" Ep.26 "Patchwork" (1932)

The Family Doctor was a story about Dr. Grant Adams, a small town doctor who doubled as the community’s moral rectifier. He was more than just respected, he was loved by all. Each week he confronted issues from robbery to suicide, and always with common sense and gentle moral judgment. Though his old-fashioned remedies for sicknesses are outdated compared to modern medical practicing, The Family Doctor's attitude towards life's daily issues transcend time. Of the 39 intended episodes, only 12 were aired.
