Doctor's Orders

The two RealAudio selections on this page reflect very different perspectives on related experiences: encounters with the medical profession during the period when doctors were at the peak of their authority. Doctor's Orders is a public service announcement intended to encourage women to get prenatal care in the 1950s. Marsha Saxton tells about being an adolescent with a disability during the same period.
