CoronaVirus Comics FIRST ROMANCE "Midnight Kisses" and FIRST LOVE "Prescription - Love"

Usually it's two women fighting over the same man...
...but now, the tables are turned as a female MD must choose between a fellow doctor or a fever-ridden patient!
This tale from Harvey's First Romance #9 (1951) seems innocent, in fact, downright innocuous, eh?
The Comics Code Authority, founded in 1954, didn't think so!
When the story was reprinted in Harvey's First Love #79 (1957), they insisted on numerous changes...beginning with the title...which they apparently thought was too salacious!
Most of the other changes involve captions and dialogue, but also note a couple of art modifications!
Did the Comics Code go too far?
Were they over-reacting?
Enquiring minds want...nay...need to know~
