Remember when doctors made house calls? Well, okay, we don’t either, but some Post cover artists remembered. Artist George Hughes shows us a doctor calling on a woman taken ill. Sort of. Actually, the Mrs. is seething while her hubby is diverting the doctor’s attention. Who is the patient here, anyway? Perhaps the doctor is just good at multi-tasking.

  1. I remember when doctors made house calls. For a long time, they charged only $2 a visit.
    That, of course, was before the US government removed all precious-metal backing to our currency–and then, for good measure, hyper-inflated even that!
