Hell, do they still have that? I'm still only 5'4", so even if it isn't paid for by OHIP, I'll have to look into it. Interesting, as well, that they had house calls, even out into the "country", which back them was anything north of what, Eglinton? Finch? Steeles? I guess when we started getting "free" medical care, they had to cut something back... Leg lengthening? Hell, do they still have that?

I see that they cloak the test for venereal disease as a Wassermann. "Hey doc, gimme a Wassermann, with a side of alcohol injection of gasserian ganglion." (Yes, I had to look that up.) I'd like to see a few more of your gems, Val. Get thee to the basement and start rooting about. Or would it involve a trip to an offsite, climate-controlled storage bunker containing the vast Dodgeville Archives? This is great.

Must get pricey to keep refilling with ice. But it smells better than the places that use mothballs. I’ve seen that a bunch of times. Must get pricey to keep refilling with ice.
