By 9 o'clock he is off to the partners' office on Highway 92, half a block from Main Street, where blonde Mrs. Audleye Nelson, receptionist and bookkeeper, gives him a list of the day's first house calls. These, with morning hospital calls, afternoon office hours and after-dinner calls, keep him busy until 11 p.m. And nearly every night he has to get up and dress to go to a patient's home...
