My Dad was a doctor, so technically we got a house call everyday. But the reality was that we never saw a doctor at all. If we needed a physical for school sports my dad would just look at us and say "Eh, you look healthy" and sign it. I was in my early 30s before I got a real checkup from a doctor for the first time since I was born.

Did your dad also administer immunizations himself?

Actually, yes. Also, whenever one of us needed a medication he would just write the prescription for what we needed. The only exceptions were if one of us broke a limb. Then he'd take us to a friend doctor who specialized in that sort of thing to fix us up.
