on for a cup of tea please would you and um, well mum in her older days, she was  
bedridden with this damn cancer, [469 inaudible] she looked up, she would lie on 
the bed,  she looked up at the doctor, Doctor Williams, he was nice to her.  Her 
doctor all the  way, any show, never told her [474 inaudible].

       RB:  Yes.  And he played bowls too.  When we went to live in  Anderson's 
Bay that was 1914 and he used to play bowls down on the St Kilda green.  You  
see he wasn't a very well man.  He had to be careful.  I think he had a duodenal 
ulcer. I  know at one stage he'd been to DOCTORs in Dunedin.  He and my mother 
went over to  Sydney and went to a doctor there.  Whether he got much 
satisfaction I don't know.

JB	At home.  There was a midwife there and I was a twin.  My  mother didn't 
know she was having twins.  The first twin was born and she was dead.  They had 
to  get in a midwife because I was six weeks premature.  My father had to go and 
get her  away out at a film. She was watching a film.  The first twin was born 
with no limbs and  she was dead.  If it had been nowadays she would have lived.  
Then the DOCTOR wouldn't  come so the midwife did.  She arrived and said she 
thought there was another one coming.  15 JB	Well.  I went to Caversham 
School and when I was in Standard  One - no I can go back further than that.  
When I was three I stuck a needle in my eye so  I'm blind in one eye now.  I had 
three operations on that eye and they were going to do a  fourth one but then 
they found that I had a heart defect.  They didn't do the fourth  operation.  
Anyway when I was about six, in those days they had a DOCTOR and a nurse who 
came  round the school every year and examined every child in the school.  I 
always got  singled out.  In those days the Sara Cohen School in Rutherford 
Street was a school for  disabled children. It's now for mentally handicapped 
children, but in those days it was  for disabled children.  These doctors and 
nurses in their wisdom decided they  would send me there.  I was there for four 
years.  I would say there were about thirty  children at that school. We had a 
very basic education.  We had to have a rest in the  afternoon.  We learnt to 
write and read but we didn't get taught history and geography or  anything like 
that. When I was in Standard Five I was sent back to Caversham School.  So  I 
was landed into a big school in Standard Five which was quite devastating.  I'll 
never  forget my first day at school back to Caversham they were working with 
fractions.  I  didn't know what a fraction was.  Anyway I managed to catch up.  
Then I went to Tech.  I  wanted to be a school teacher but they decided that I 
wasn't fit enough so I had to  go to Tech.             90

MB: Oh well we didn't have much access to them, it was only if they  were 
visiting the Parish, like they would come, except the ones that we knew more 
were  the ones that were actually living in the Presbytery next to the College 
you see. And  now and again we'd have to all get tidied up and tidy all your 
desk, you know, and  Bishop Delargey was coming and that was quite an occasion, 
you know. But as far as having  much to do with him, it would be more the clergy 
that had a lot to do with them, and  he would just come along and be at all the 
break-ups and that, handing out the Christian  DOCTOR medals and all those 
things. We'd see him then and he'd speak to us and give us  a direction in the 
way we should be going and that, you know. So uh ... 
529
MB: Later on they said that they think that's why Latin was dropped  from the 
language, because there was too many Catholics were becoming DOCTORs. That's  
what they said. They dropped the Latin didn't they?  545

went on the academic side, you know, they were all --- they've all done well,

part of Mornington as a DOCTOR. 
520
	AD:  He didn't pose as one, but was regarded as one, good  enough for a 
DOCTOR and the result was that if we were in trouble we didn't go to a doctor, 
we  rang, we went down to a chemist and got some medicine from him.  Told him 
what was wrong,  and got the chemist to give us a bottle of something and that 
was the end of it.  (I:  mmm)  That was the result, that was the attitude of the

"I'm gonna have a look  at you tomorrow down your business" - he told me this. 
But I was smoking. And he said:  "you're smoking!?", he says, "with your

	FD:  No, they did.  The people, generally speaking, were very  closely, 
ah, involved, I think that's the word to use, and very, very sympathetic and 
this of  course, I think came out when I mentioned before the concerts and 
social activities.  People came to meet Mrs Applegarter and Mrs Denford and the, 
even the Rev. Dakin,  who was the minister when I was just a boy, he was more 
than just a formal minister.  Although he was a very, clever chap in himself, he 
was DOCTOR and divinity and also a fellow  of the Royal Geographical Society.  
But apart from that, he was a very humble chap  and a very scholastic chap, and 
very approachable.

	FD:  The whole, people right throughout the community.  Young  and old.  I 
had a bit of an attack of it.  I felt pretty ill but of course I wasn't bad 
enough  to, I don't even think that the DOCTOR, but um, where it hit our family 
was that my sister, I mentioned   before with nursing, she was ah, nursing at 
the public hospital here.  She would be, what, in her second or third year of 
her training and she and her  mate, ah, were, when it struck the epidemic, they 
nursed till they literally fell on their  feet.  The, my sister she got the flu 
to the extent so severe that they didn't dare  tell her that her mate had died 
of it, they reckon it would have killed her and um, ah,  the, my sister was in a 
special ward in Nightingale ward, which has just recently been  demolished, in 
the special there and she was delirious for weeks.  She was literally  blue with 
tubes in her back, draining off the fluid and ah, they cut her hair off to save 
it  being, having to try and do it, she was so ill.  She told us that it had got 
to the  stage that she was so ill and then one day she said, if I don't try and 
do something about  it, I'm going to die and from then she [123 inaudible] so 
she stuck it out, gradually  got better.  She'd been that ill, they gave her six 
months leave of absence afterwards  to get over it. Her mate, she was buried 
over in the Andersons Bay, she's buried over  there.  And my sister told me, not 
many years before she died, she died about seven years  ago, that so dreaded was 
the epidemic that the authorities said that on no account were  the graves of 
epidemic victims to be opened for at least 50 years.  [LD: help]  That's how 
[LD:serious it was] how the impact was seen as a serious result.

       BD:  There was always somebody in the village but of latter  years of 
course, the, had, DOCTORs had flash motor cars and came out to these places.  
(MC:  RIGHT.)  Because whenever we wanted a doctor we had to get in from out 
there and come  into town.              
35        BD:  I was going to tell you in a moment, and they got a taxi  driver 
and come and pick me, and the man said, 'Take him home to Enfield', he says.  
And  he says, 'I think he should go to the hospital'.  Oh, he says, 'I'm 
employing you', he  said, 'take him home to Enfield'.  Now I was stunned, I was 
unconscious and got me  home to Enfield, then he had to ring up and talk to, the 
DOCTOR never arrived till next  morning and he says I have to go to hospital 
straight away and I had concussion of the  brain and a fractured skull there.  I 
lost my hearing in both ears, this one is still bad.  [Hearing aid beeps]  Oh, 
it's objecting.  And then I was stuck into hospital and I  was there for about a 
month or six weeks, I had concussion of the brain and a  fractured skull, one 
ear came back and the other one didn't. 
45
       BD:  I was down town the other day and he wanted to know if I  was going 
home.  I said, 'Yes, I'll run you home', but I had arranged to see a DOCTOR,  so 
I didn't. But some bosses are good and others aren't.  This boss I had in 
Dunedin  that I was telling you about, you, never had one like him.  I used to 
take my breakfast  to work with me and I, one morning I got up, my wife thinks 
this is funny, she used to  have to leave me a bag in the kitchen, ready for me 
to pick up when I went out in the morning and breakfast, all sandwiches and 
things like that and I arrived at work  one morning and I was sitting there with 
the other man and I opened me sandwiches and  here was a paper bag filled of 
potatoes peelings and everything. I'd picked up the wrong  one.  She'd wrapped 
all the potato peelings in bags and was going to put them in the  rubbish bin 
outside the door, she left them on the table and I'd got my breakfast things, 
and  I opened it at work and I never heard the end of it from the blokes.

       MD:      Well, people had to be neighbourly, if you can un -  only take 
it on a wide term, because everyone didn't have a telephone, and if there was  
any sickness of the house they had to either ask the chemist or their shop-
keeper or,  or somebody they knew might speak for them, or else go where there 
was a phone. You  couldn't just - I know [indistinct] they had to, they sent 
away to their own DOCTOR was  overseas and they had to go to the chemist in, in 
Caversham, in the main street it was,  and ask him whether they could ring up 
the hospital and send someone out because  they thought we might need an 
ambulance. I'll never forget that ambulance. You'd have  two horses, high 
steppers, big fellows, and they raced those into town ... oh, right  into the 
city where the hospital was from Caversham, that was no small ride. And sure  
enough, I did have [indistinct] and so I had to be operated on, and going in 
there I  said, 'I think you must like me after all, mum because I saw you 
crying'. She ... ,  'sorry little so and so', she said, 'I was crying for myself 
because the roof, the roof  was off the house, the, the - it was raining, you 
didn't have a clean nightie left and  the baby was bawling her head off'. There 
wasn't crying for me at all. And for years I  thought mum was crying because I 
was ill. Oh, well, it wasn't as bad as that, but it must  have driven everybody 
dilly with all that wrong. There was a canvas pulled over half the  house 
because they were renovating it. And of course ... 
1067
       MD:      He was a, a [indistinct] of ours, and I reckoned he  wasn't so 
good and when we realised we went down there, she lifted up the lids of his  
eyes and he had no colour in them, they were all white. She said, 'Whip round to 
Dr  Butler as quick as you can and tell him', so down I went and his wife 
answered the door, and  she said, 'Oh, I'm very sorry, the DOCTOR has just 
finished his afternoon session'.  'Well', I said, 'this wee fellow is not too 
well', and I said 'the Plunket nurse sent me  around'. She said, 'Wait a minute 
and I'll get hold of him then', and so off she toddled  upstairs and down he 
came with a coat down over his pyjamas. 
2456
       MD;      She was ill too, the same things was the matter with  her. The 
DOCTOR didn't bother attending to her properly, he said, when you've got rid  of 
the course he said, you'll be better, well, with a coming baby.

D	Oh yes.  I saw photographs there of the old school.  My  brother went to 
war of course. We were both there.  I had a lot of fun when I was over in 
England.  I got transferred. I was medically unfit for a start.  I had a slight 
strain of the  heart through long distance running when I used to go out running 
with the varsity men.  I was only a college boy at the time.  However when my 
brother enlisted for the  war I thought I would too.  I enlisted but I was 
turned down through that.  Then I was transferred to Geraldine and as soon as I 
got up there I enlisted again.  I knew the  DOCTOR, he was a big fellow.  Dr 
Harrison, I used to play tennis with him.  He told me  what it was.  He said I 
had my age with me and if I looked after myself I'd grow out  of it.  So I 
looked after myself and I did grow out of it.  But I was called up in the  
second lot so that's how I managed to get away eventually.  But it kept me well 
behind.  Then before that I was in the Territorials and had stripes.  I thought 
to myself that I  wasn't going to be any private in this outfit, I'll let 
somebody else do the work and  I'll do the ordering. So I eventually before very 
long found myself with many stripes on.  I kept those stripes  When we got to 
England I found out I had to get from the  infantry to the Divisional Company 
where I wanted to get to because that's where I  was trained in Dunedin you see 
before the War.  All my cobbers we all got into this  one company and we trained 
as signallers.  We enjoyed our lives in this company.  From  then on where did 
we go from there?  I was going overseas one night with the infantry and  they 
called me into the office and said I might as well take my pack off because I 
was  being transferred to the ??.  So I went to Stevenige.  I found out after I 
got there that  the signallers from Egypt went straight to France instead of 
coming to the depot.  So  actually we were kept in the depot at Stevenige for 
months and months.  So I actually never  saw any war.  But I saw plenty of fun.  
We had a concert party there and we used to put  on shows for three nights with 
packed houses every night.  I had a friend who was an  excellent accompanist. We 
were invited everywhere.  Being signallers the officers didn't  mind where we 
went. In fact I had almost an open pass and we went everywhere.  There was  one 
place that I would like to have gone to and that was two men came out from 
London  and asked if I would sing a sacred solo at the opening of a new church 
in London.  Now that would have been a great honour to New Zealand that a New 
Zealand soldier was  asked to sing at the opening of a new church in London.  
But instead of that I was sent  overseas so I missed it.  But we had a lovely 
time there.  Now you bombard me with some  more questions.           55

      DD:  Well he started off in the pay department and he went on  from there 
until he was in charge of it down at the new building in Hanover Street.  He  
was the salaries clerk they called him.  Then when they changed things around a 
bit  they had different secretaries to different departments and he became the 
establishment  secretary that had to write to all the new health surgeons.  When 
they were wanting a  DOCTOR and writing about an appointment my husband would 
have to write the letters and  do all that sort of thing.  He worked for them 
for 40 years. 
311
Oh, but the start of that was I got a ring at home or at least at my  
neighbour's place one day from the hospital. It was to say that the DOCTOR 
didn't want  me to go in and see her or us in the meantime.  The grandparents 
could go but we weren't  to go.  And so I rang up the doctor Begg who was a 
children's doctor and we had  Lorraine under him too. I said, 'well I'm going in 
to see her today and I'll tell her that  we're not coming back but I'm not going 
to leave a little girl of six and not explain to  her.'                    
468
So I went in and I hadn't been at the bed very long when the sister  took me 
into the DOCTOR's office.  He growled at me for going against his wishes and  
the rest of it.  I wasn't very - stood up for myself very well, but I did for 
her.  I  said, 'if you think I'm going to leave my little girl and not tell her 
why and just  desert her, I wouldn't do that.  I've told her and she knows and 
that's all right. But I  wouldn't have done it without telling her.' 
470
      DD:  No.  They didn't know themselves.  They were clutching at  straws I 
think. Eventually you see after she'd gone through school and looked like a  
little waif in all her school pictures she went to Teachers' College.  It did 
seem as  although when she was wanting to be good it would come on her you see.  
So she was at the  dinner for the end of the year and she couldn't eat anything.  
When she did she had to  leave the table and she got so fed up that she said to 
her father, 'will you get me into  see a DOCTOR.  I'm sick of this.'  And so 
Bill got her into one of the specialists and  he had her x-rayed and all the 
rest of it. 
482
      DD:  I don't really remember.  I don't think I ever played on the  road.  
I had quite a bit of ground around here.  I had a wee summerhouse down the  
bottom of the garden there that we used to play in.  There's a bit of a story 
about  that one day too. My mother came down the path to see us.  I was playing 
with Beth this  afternoon and Mum came down the path.  Here was Beth stripped 
naked and I was examining  her.  Mum said, 'what on earth are you doing?'  I 
said, 'we're playing lady DOCTORs.'  She said something or other about Beth and 
I said, 'it's all right Mum, I've  had my turn.'  We used to have a lady doctor 
around school I think.

      MG:  Yes.  My father was a DOCTOR and it wasn't like today's  practice.  
He had the front of the house connected to our house but completely separate.  
It was a surgery and a waiting room because he was a doctor.  That was the part 
there in  the front.  So people just got off the tram.  We didn't use that gate. 
21
      MG:  I'll tell you one of the things that interested me.  I  suppose we 
were privileged children in the days of the 1930s because my father was a  
DOCTOR.  Not that he had perhaps much cash because he used to treat patients 
free  sometimes. He had Lodge patients too.  He used to go out to Green Island I 
think on a  Wednesday, I can't remember and then a Lodge in Caversham.  I'm not 
quite sure how the  payment was then but they were sort of free patients and I 
supposed they paid for the  Lodge would they?           
91
       He never got any peace because it's not like leaving a medical  centre 
and another DOCTOR takes over. People must have their own doctor.  He used to  
curse all these people having babies.  He'd built this place out at Waihola and 
he wouldn't  have a telephone out there.  He had a few hours out there in peace 
and quiet on a  Saturday afternoon or perhaps a Sunday.  But if there was a baby 
expected he couldn't go  because they must have their own doctor. 
111
      MG:  No.  She did her course and then she stayed on and got a  job.  She 
thought it was great because America was quite liberated.  Women with  
qualifications were treated in their own rights.  Not what it is in New Zealand. 
When my father  died she came back. That would be 1964.  When she got here well 
she's better qualified  than some of the - I think she got a DOCTORate in 
History or something.  You'll have to  ask her.  She was better qualified but 
when she came back to New Zealand she was  treated too old though she wasn't all 
that old.  There were older professors in the  university, men.  She was better 
qualified than some there but they weren't keen on taking her.  So she went in 
as a school inspectorate around Christchurch.  She stayed with my mother  after 
my father died.  It's her story so she can tell you more.  Once they leave you  
don't have much contact with your sisters until they get older.

      MG:  He was a Minister.  My sister has gone back and taken some  photos. 
He didn't come out as a settler, my father's father.  He left Edinburgh. He was  
a Presbyterian Minister in the New Hebrides which it was called in those days.  
He  went to Antrim and he was a missionary.  But he was trained as a DOCTOR as 
well as a  Minister right.  His brother had gone out first but died.  Then he 
stayed there on the  island of Antrim but his wife got malaria and died.  It was 
his newly wedded wife. 
194
       I've had a number of failed marriages but never mind, it's my  history, 
isn't it. But I thought I'd go to the people and ask the DOCTOR to help my  
husband who was sick. This was the second marriage after 23 years. But this is 
not going on  tape, did I say. Well after experience in Presbyterianism I came 
to the conclusion  that Christianity is important but it becomes churchianity 
with the different church clubs  and I really don't want to be a part of it.  I 
wouldn't say I'm agnostic but...  230
      MG:  A DOCTOR those days wasn't one with any time to himself. He  was on 
call twenty-four hours a day.  People wanted the doctor when they asked  and my 
father really had no time to himself.  He always took an interest in his family 
but  he never really had a day off, did he?  He never really had time.  He 
enjoyed his  patients and his patients were his life.  He never told any nasty 
things but we'd  often hear about someone. 
251
       It was family visiting in those days.  It involved the whole  family.  In 
these days you are a number and you go to a medical centre and get the  DOCTOR 
who is there. It's very impersonal.  But these people, their lives depended on  
confiding with the doctor.  He knew what was going on in the family and probably 
why she  got sick.  You only need to go into people's homes, whereas these days 
doctors may  not know any conditions about what's happening and just hand out 
pills. 
252
       My mother was a very liberated person in a way for her age  compared with 
her friends because she helped run the business with my father.  She was  the 
mediator, she often gave advice on the phone to patients who were worried until 
my  father could call. I can hear her when they would often ask her what to do.  
She wasn't  being a DOCTOR but she would often do more than just give an 
appointment. 
253
      MC:  SOUNDS LIKE A USEFUL TRAINING FOR SOMETHING.  YOU TALKED TO  ME A 
LITTLE BIT EARLIER ABOUT THE KIND OF FEELING THERE WAS ABOUT YOU BEING THE  
DOCTOR'S CHILDREN.  HOW DID YOU PICK THAT UP? 
261
       But I do think that the visiting of a Plunket nurse to some people is an 
absolutely essential thing.  I mean I've done a lot of welfare work  and when I 
go into homes - I never go into the good homes.  What I see, if the DOCTOR  knew 
that he'd know why the baby had gastroenteritis so much.  You see the baby's 
bottle  is sitting there in the sunshine with the flies on the teat and then it 
goes into the  baby's mouth.  I think it's a reassurance but it used to bug me.  
372
       But I do think a nice kindly Plunket nurse must be of great  benefit 
because think of all the people like - well, young people these days.  How they  
cope.  They're probably the youngest in the family and have never seen anything  
done.  Hygiene - well if you'd been brought up in a home like I have, a DOCTOR's 
home with  a mother a nurse, the sterility of nursing training wasn't anything 
because it was all  carried out at home.  Even to making beds, we had to make 
them properly with mother  as kids.  When I did my nursing training I just felt 
we'd made beds at a little six  weeks prelim course and it just seemed to me so 
fundamental.  But then some people  didn't.  I think for the average ordinary 
person, even a person who would know, it's a  reassurance.  They don't talk to 
the doctors like that. 
374
       I'm great for a home visit because I think there's so much seen  in 
general.  The way a person keeps their house.  I mean I've been round to homes  
where - I did Crippled Children's work too.  There was another child sick with 
asthma and oh  yes the pills were on the mantelpiece but the child's outside in 
the rain in the winter  around Taupo.  And this is going to cure it.  Our 
treatment at home, plenty of fluid and  to bed because we didn't have the drugs.  
That was my father's treatment.  But you  won't get any common sense advice from 
the DOCTOR at a Medical Centre these days.  Take  these pills home and that will 
fix it. As I say, this child's pills were sitting there and  the child is 
outside half dressed in the cold and the wet. 
375
      MG:  No he wasn't brought into the dining room and that sort of  thing.  I 
wouldn't say - my mother and father in spite of that sort of thing they  
weren't, um, snobbish people really.  For instance, my father really was quite a 
loner.  He  wasn't even all that friends with his colleagues.  You know, we 
didn't have much  because we were in a, people went through, friends that he had 
that went through Otago  University like Dr Strain and things they were all in 
High Street where all the DOCTORs  were.  My father was out in the ordinary 
suburb. 
478
       I don't know whether very many DOCTORs were practising from  their homes 
in ordinary suburbs in those days because I had to go to High Street for  the 
dentist.  If you wanted an x-ray you went to High Street to Mr Gardner in what's  
the name of the chambers?  I've forgotten.  They called them The Chambers. They 
had a  big lot of steps and you went up and there was doctors and dentists and 
radiologists  all working in one department in Princes Street.  But it was a bit 
like Harley Street  London, High Street Dunedin.

      RG:  Well men living together in big numbers like they did in  the war- 
time would be, to me, the opportunity for homosexuality to develop. Since then  
the homes of the world have been rocked by single parents who are - I had a 
friend, it  wasn't my friend. He was brought to the house.  A friend of a 
friend. They stayed here  and they were homosexuals.  He said quite openly, he 
said he was over-mothered.  He  was brought up in a one family, one parent 
family.  This man was a medical DOCTOR.  He  quite openly said that he was sure 
it was because he'd been over-mothered.  Mind you,  this is 40 years ago I'm 
talking about.  But nowadays they're looking on it as an  inherited complaint or 
something.  But ah that's just you know how these things develop.  I'm quite

       RJ:  When I was at Abbotsford she was quite good.  I used to  get her 
every week. But then when I got in, like when I lived up Central Otago I was ten 
miles from Lawrence.  Of course you couldn't get a nurse to come that far very  
often. She'd come perhaps once a month for a little while, not very long.  Of 
course I  didn't have a first baby or anything.  Well I went up to live up there 
when Ainslie was  three weeks old and she was the latest.  So it wasn't like 
having a first baby. So we  didn't see a great deal of them which I didn't mind.  
And the DOCTOR too was hard to  get.                     1081
       RJ:  No they were a help especially when you had your first  baby because 
you really didn't know much.  I went and spent a week with my mother  after the 
first son. I'd had a very bad time.  In those days you stayed at [indistinct], a  
private home in St Kilda.  You usually stayed a fortnight but my DOCTOR wanted 
me to  stay three weeks and I didn't want to stay three weeks.  So he asked me 
if I was going home  and I said no I was going to stay with my mother.  Mum 
wasn't very good at that sort of  thing, was she?        1101        RJ:  In the 
infant room I had an abscess in my tooth.  I had  the tooth out and I used to 
cry at night with toothache.  My mother never did anything  about it this 
particular time.  It got that bad in the finish that she got the  DOCTOR.  He 
said I'd have to have an operation.  So she didn't fancy me going into the  
hospital so it was done in our house in Fitzroy Street.  We had to get darning 
paper and  Dr Russell, Richard his name was, did the operation.  Dr Fitchett 
gave the  anaesthetic.  Chloroform it was.  My grandmother she was the nurse.

him. Though, though she  did complain of a pain this time, but she was still in 
a depression too. But we never  took much notice of the pain. Anyway she was put 
into hospital, and under the  psychiatrist, and I had to go and see him, and he 
told me then that she was complaining of this  pain and they would have to

	AN:	Yes. Dr Carswell was the DOCTOR.

	AN:	So I said, oh, Mrs Cardno lives over the road, I  says, she'll come 
over and help you. So anyway, she was good to me, Mrs Cardno, she used to come 
over  to see me. So anyway, she came over, she brought all her tools with her, 
you know,  and helped me out, so I was, wasn't dressed really for anything. So 
she got me down in  the bed, and she says to me, she says, there's another one. 
I says, two, I said, what  will I do with two boys? So anyway he came and it was 
the other one you see, Arthur. So  she fixed me all up and everything. So they - 
the DOCTOR come along and he says to me, he  says, what's this good thing I hear 
that you have done today? I says, well I says, you  told me to wash the blankets 
so I says go up a hill and have a run. I says, well, I says,  I've done neither. 
Cause I didn't have time. So he says, well he says, I've been to a  poor woman 
he says, she's had twins in Baker Street, he says, but she didn't have them  
like you. I said, oh, I'm very sorry for her. So anyway we put the - the babies 
were in a  cot, Joyce came along, she says, what a lot of babies mummy. 
353
	TB:	DID YOU GET MUCH ADVICE FROM THE DOCTOR ON WHAT TO  EAT AND -   
391
	AN:	And we'd sit around the fire, so when, when Joyce was  born, the 
DOCTOR says - I had doctor Cederberg, and - 
429
	AN:	And everything else. And you knew very well then it  was time, but 
of course I went to the DOCTOR and he gave me a date, but he gave it to me for 
February.                     755

1162
	AN:	Yes. He said, but if you need the DOCTOR, he says,  you put out a 
white cloth on the gate, try and knock it on to a bit of stick. So my sister was 
there  and she put it out and a doctor come in and he says to my sister, he 
says, how did you  know about the white cloth on the gate? She said, well Dr 
Carswell told us yesterday, he  said, well that's just come out yesterday, the 
doctors were told to tell the patients.  And so anyway my husband died at night, 
and well, it was just as well because that  poisoning was going into the top 
jaw. 
1164
	AN:	I says to them, I says, I'm not going to die, I've  got three 
children to look after. And one time when I was in hospital the DOCTOR says, 
asks me  about myself and I says, I says you - he says, what keeps you alive, 
and I says, you  know, I says, I've got three children at home, I says, my 
mother is elderly, I says, she's  too old like to bring up three children, I 
said, and I've got to fight for them. So  it was really that, and I had faith in 
my doctor. And of course I had faith in God to  bring us through.        1786
	AN:	So, he did, he was good to us. But I had Dr Miller  and he was, he 
was a lovely DOCTOR.

the band. Or to the Gardens or else we'd take the bus round the peninsula,  
Woodhall Gardens, the Botanical Gardens.  If you went away on a holiday you 
didn't go very  far.  You'd go out to Brighton or Taieri Mouth.  You'd catch the

TR: Oh there were three of them. And then again, years later when I  was at High 
School I used to go to a property out at Outram. And that visit came about 
because this particular boy went to Kings High School caught a train from Outram  
about seven in the morning which connected with another train in Mosgiel which 
came to  Caversham Station which got him off - or Kensington I think - got him 
to High School.  So he came to our place for lunch and then I used to re-visit 
back there. And then one  day I was out walking and there was a showgrounds at 
Outram and two or three  Docherty boys, they were Catholic boys, they surrounded 
me and they started jeering and making  threats, and I think they were having me 
on. I let out a loud shriek and called out  for Nuka, his name was. He came 
dashing round and saw what was going on and they  scattered. But the irony of 
all that is that long numbers of years later in Gore - we lived in  Gore and we 
had need to have a DOCTOR, but who should come out as this practitioner  and 
locum but one of these Docherty boys. Ha ha! I can't say, there was no act of  
objectionable behaviour from our side and I don't think there was from the other 
side either,  but it was just one of those stupid things that you grew up with.

LR	I came back from overseas and where did I go?  I have a bit  of a hazy 
time.  My sister was married.  A friend of mine met me at the station when I  
arrived back and said 'come on out and meet Mrs Ward'.  I said, 'I don't know a 
Mrs Ward'.  I had been previous to that with a well known DOCTOR in Dunedin, Dr 
Moody.  I'll  tell you about that after this Mrs Ward because that's an episode 
we can't miss out.  So I went down with this Jock Brunton, he had vester 
factories at the time.  He took  me down to this Mrs Ward.  There was my sister.  
So I stayed there for a week.  Then  this Dr Moodie he got to hear that I was 
down there.  Of course I was trying to dodge  him because it was a mixture.  You 
were his servant.  He treated marvellously.  He was a  great doctor, never give 
you too much in the cash line but anything else I wanted.  But  you see you were 
never really free.  He'd be down on you whether you were going to  visit 
somebody.  But he always had the winning hand.  He had that nature.  He was 
funny to  be with.  A bit like here.  I have to get used to all these 
interruptions.

LR	Just to the chemist.  Mr Wilkinson.  Everybody went to him.  But he was as 
good as a DOCTOR himself anyway.  Some kid would be plonked on his counter and  
he'd be looking at a rash, just like a doctor.  But they were great people the  
Wilkinsons, the whole family were marvellous people.  So patient.

       And in the New Year's Eve I was in agony, I couldn't, I could  hardly 
see, I didn't know where I was, I was behind the counter you know and was going  
like this and anyway they sent me home and when I got home, this is to St Clair, 
my mother  was in bed ill with ah, sciatica, so she said to me, uh 'Just go to 
bed and get a  hot water bottle', I had peritonitis and the next day the lady 
next door, Mrs Macassie,  she came in to see mother and mum said to her, 'Go and 
have a look at Zeita, she's not  well', and she came back and she said, 'She's 
ill'.  I was unconscious by then and ah so  they got the DOCTOR and out and he 
just picked me up and took me in his car to Bromar  Hospital and of course in 
those days there was no antibiotics and it was just the fact that  I was a very 
healthy person that I got through it.  I was unconscious for about  five or six 
days, they never expected me to get through, but I did and so, I was six  months 
recuperating and then I went back to work and I was seven years at A & T Ingles.

her away.  I  remember an aunt was there at the time and they took me down to

and  they took me down to aunty's straight away.  And I was there for five or 
six weeks.  547        ZS:  I didn't get one for years.  I had a copper out 
there and  tubs.  When I got my first wringer, I was thrilled to bits and I had 
this big  operation, and Herman had to do the wringing.  I was cut right from 
the top of the fanny up to  here and round, you see, cause I had these two huge 
holes that the tubes had been in when I had the peritonitis.  (MC:  right) and I 
had to have the DOCTOR's permission,  a doctor's certificate to get it 'cause it 
was war time (MC: to get the wringer)  no, to get the washing machine, when I 
did get one, you see. (MC: right).  Well  Herman had to help me with the 
wringer, and when he started to do it, he could see it was  damn hard work, so 
he said ah, 'You better try and get one', and a friend said to me  that, 'You'd 
better get a doctor's certificate and get that', so that is how I got it  (MC:

they  had nothing to dissolve the clot.  They were bringing him from Wairoa to 
Auckland  but he died on the way.  My sister had one girl and was pregnant with 
the second child.  She brought those two girls up and took them all round. They 
had not much money because  they'd just started out in life.  But she took those 
girls all over the place,  sent them to Battle Abbey School, 1066 and all that 
down there.  And she taught in  London.  Then she took them all over Europe.  
They were young then.  She brought them back  and they went to Columba College.
