Doctors
I have gone to doctors since I am a child. My experiences have not been the greatest.
In East New York as a kid, there were 3 or 4 doctors. My original doctor I think was Ok, as i'm writing i'm remembering names of some. There was a doctor Levin and a Dr. Norton. They would come to our apartment in the projects. Yeah, they made house calls. They would do the say Ahhh thing with the stick and then give me a shot in the butt of penicillin. Imagine a doctor making a house call in East New York today. They would be robbed or killed most likely.
A few years later our doctor changed to a H.I.P. doctor . His name was Dr. Anolik. He was on Williams and New Lots. The guy was huge , he had hands like an ape. Mind you I probably weighed 90 lbs when i saw him or less. He would tap your body with his giant hands and say does it hurt. Each time he would tap me , i'd gasp and almost collapse , and answer "no it doesn't hurt". It would end with a shot in the butt. They loved that shot stuff. Another time I went there for an ear infection or earache. The guy had a strange accent , and his instructions were " put raps in your ears" ,,,,it took a while to get that interpreted, finally , I found out he was saying "put DROPS in your ears".
Later on , still in ENY, Dr. Willins, told me I was allergic to penicillin. Mind you, i was never allergic to penicillin, never had a reaction. He came to this revelation because i had hay fever, therefore , i must be allergic to penicillin. So , since then , as illogical as it was, I have told every doctor that I went to , that I was allergic to penicillin. Dr. Willins also told me , when I had mono aka mononucleosis aka kissing disease, that I needed to eat meat. I was a vegetarian at the time. I knew soy and nuts gave me enough protein ,,but he insisted that I needed to eat meat. So I ate meat, and eventually i was better.
There were two dentists in East New York , the Newman Bros., one was an orthodontist and the other was a regular dentist. They were the best dentists in the neighborhood. They were on Hegeman Ave and Pennsylvania Ave. Their office had these weird pictures of kids, later i found out they were Norman Rockwells. I had braces, and i had to wear rubber bands stretched between upper and lower teeth. I hated these braces,,I ended up ripping them out of my mouth. Rumor had it, that these dentists, weren't really dentists and had some fake diplomas from Univ. of Tennessee. I don't know if the rumor was true but they were really nice guys and they looked like dentists.
Bringing things up to the present, I saw one doctor of mine scalping Rolling Stone tickets outside the Meadowlands a few years back.. Makes you worry a bit. And just last week I went to the eye doctor for a thing like a sty ,,, he asked me if i had a microwave. I lied and said yes. So he gave me a prescription for potatoes. Not just any potato but a red new round potato,, he wrote , put in microwave, wrap in hot cloth and put on your eye. Imagine, the guy prescribed a potato. Gotta love doctors.
