TIME MACHINE Preview ... Passing Era Of The Old Eastern Shore Doctors.

The Eastern Shore doctor... "is now typified by a young, aggressive, business-like physician...a cold now a clear-cut matter of business...discovery upon discovery of new drugs...the 'spirit of commercialism' has entered into the sickroom...the Hippocratic oath is now a relic of antiquity...the stupendous field of medical science today in which one man can hope to master little more than one branch..."

These words were not written recently, they're from a newspaper article published more than a century ago... in 1903!
 
It's this Sunday on The Pocomoke Public Eye!




Do you have a local memory to share with PPE readers.. such as a big snow storm, a favorite school teacher, a local happening, something of interest your parents or grandparents told you about? It can be just a line or two or more if you wish. Your name won't be used unless you ask that it be. Send to tkforppe@yahoo.com and watch for it on a future TIME MACHINE posting!
