We all remember Micky Mouse but who remembers the other Mouse
"Here I am to save the day!!!!"
The clunking of Dr. Tom's shoes on the hardwood hallway floor was always a "doom alert" to us sick kids. Then the bedroom door would open... He'd walk in, all cheery and happy, and say, "How are we all feeling today?" As if he didn't know. Then he'd stick that popsicle stick down our throats, then take our temp, then "prescribe" red cough syrup as the cure. After antibiotics became commonplace, he started prescribing tetracycline. Sometimes, we got penicillin shots, but we had to go in to the office for Nurse Judy to perform THAT torture.
