M.D. "Shock Treatment"

Did you know electroshock therapy was once an automatically-approved method?

But some medical professionals realized the technique had its' limits...and some "off-book" uses!

Illustrated by George Evans and likely scripted by the book's editor Al Feldstein, this shocking (sorry, couldn't resist) story from EC's M.D. #3 (1955) showed the publisher could still sneak something past the extremely-restrictive Comics Code Authority!

MAD HOUSE COMICS "Donna...She's a Doozy"

Prime-time TV in the early 1960s was filled with medical series...
...and someone becoming obsessed with them wasn't a rare situation...though perhaps not obsessed to the extent of this never-reprinted story's protagonist!

Was this one-shot from Archie's Mad House Comics #35 (1964), illustrated by Dan DeCarlo, meant as a "pilot" for an ongoing strip?

The use of the character's name as the story title instead of a medical-show pun would seem to indicate it!
BTW, the TV show titles in the story are variations on actual TV show titles.
Can you figure them out?
We'll give you two for free...
"Dr Ben Casebook" is Ben Casey, one of the major "heartthrob doctor" shows of the era.
"Ambulance 54" is "Car 54, Where Are You?", which was actually a police comedy!
Good luck with the rest of them...

NEW HEROIC COMICS "Modest Medic"

Even a Layman with Some Basic Medical Training can Save a Life...

...as shown in this never-reprinted featurette from Eastern Color's New Heroic Comics #61 (1950)!

While I'm unable to trace if this story, illustrated by Jerry Fasano, is true or not, I'm willing to accept it as authentic, since it reads and feels like something that would occur in real life.

Judge for yourself.

UNTAMED LOVE "No Cure for Disillusion"

Usually hospital-based romances involve a male doctor and female nurse...

...but this one features a female sawbones involved with a male medico!

The creators of this tale of disease and desire from Quality's Untamed Love #5 (1950) are unknown.

BTW, you may notice that the heading at the top of the pages says "Love Confessions".

Thats because these pages are from that reprint, which had much better coloring!
