I don't remember $3 doctor house calls (no insurance necessary)- - - must have been a local thing.
Well, when I was a kid, an office visit was $2 and a house call was $3. I have no idea how much was covered by insurance since I was too young to understand things like that. And yes, I do remember the doctor sitting by the side of the bed with his black bag full of things that can make you fee better. You may not be better, but you felt like you were. :o After I left home, all doctor visits were free, but you had to go on "sick call" and wait in line.... I'm sure you remember those days.
Oh, a quick check for a house call from a doctor that you don't know around here is pushing $300, in your area, slightly less, but after hours and weekends, when kids usually get sick, can add several hundred on top of that.
