House calls fade but SBC promises at-home repairs
Jim Finley reflects on old time doctor house calls and contrasts with modern service norms. He notes SBC and other providers now offer rapid at-home repairs while doctors rarely visit homes, recounting personal memories of physicians and veterinarians who once came to residences. He ends with a nod to EMS for emergencies and recalls his career path to media.
