Dr Pear delivered about half of the inhabitants in Church before he retired. He could be seen at Old Trafford, in his Panama hat, at every major match, so goodness knows how he found the time.
Keith Tuxford took over from him, as Darby says. They all seemed to be one-man practices in those days. Anyone remember that awful old gas ring with the pan with the rubber tubing and needles boiling in it? - smelt awful, but was probably (hopefully) sterile! In those days, nobody got MRSA (never even heard of it then). Perhaps we should go back to our old sterilisers with the Cheatles forceps, Lettie? - probably before your time!
