[QUOTE="Ms Southworth, post: 65100, member: 312"] Doctors making house calls? Yes, I'm familiar with that! I knew that wasn't just a soap opera thing! ;) But to order a sedative by phone? My answer would have to be no. Usually, it's the doctor who decides what a patient needs. I've never thought about it before, but I think that when I first watched Dallas (as a tween and later on a teenager), I knew that things on television could be far-stretched (and thus soap opera style)! In the late 70's and early 80's, I watched the drama series, "The invisible man". Anyone remember this series? Whenever he would take his clothes off, he was invisible underneath! Very handy at times! I knew then that it was all Hollywood tricks ... ... just like a lot of the things that happened on "Dallas" were soap opera storylines (far from the real world I lived in)! :) [/QUOTE]
