J. T. Holmes was the first person on this earth to lay eyes on me. If he had any special comment as to my looks or well being, I was too busy filling my lungs and blinking from the bright lights to take note. He was the only doctor in town in my early years. Of course, I didn’t visit often. We only went to see him if the sassafras tea, mustard poultice or the burnt oil and sulfur didn’t work. My first emergency trip was when I closed the truck door on my left thumb. It was smashed flat and the pain was so awful I barely remember Mom saying, “You might lose it.” Dr. Holmes stuck a needle as long as a Texas flagpole right through it and began to sew it back together way before any “deadening” took effect. If he heard my screaming he didn’t seem to notice. He never took his eyes off my thumb, which by the way, is still functioning sixty years later. Dr. Holmes specialized in making you well. He took care of “his” people from birth to death. He waded through fevers, rashes, wayward fish hooks, mumps, scurvy, puncture wounds, droopy eyes, dislocated shoulders and hemorrhoids with equal aplomb. We didn’t fill out insurance papers or have to “pay before services were rendered”. Dr. Holmes WAS our insurance.
