G'morning Heather.... 

 MM> Besides which, us British used not to scream much - a
 MM> discreet cough or gasp at best, I fear - and in extreme
 MM> cases, apologetic as in "Sorry to bother you, doctor, but a
 MM> few days ago I seemed to have been silly enough to encounter
 MM> a pointy object and I wondered if you might spare a
 MM> momen...."

 HL> And all in a voice that was in a high pitched squeak, and a funny
 HL> walk.
 HL> The doctor himself would be collapsing in his chair with laughter.

Some traditional doctors had a Ph.D(Imp.Sard), leading to such 
logged entries as...

"Mmmm - a very nasty attack of German social nationalism" and/or 
"Ah... yes...  wearing a kilt in this weather suddenly makes a lot 
of sense" and/or "Nor exactly Mein Kampf, I see...." and/or "I 
dont do extractions myself, but Mr Toothyanker next door..."

A 1920's doctor, knowing that Kipling's love of prefacing his 
Jungle Books with an ornate Indian swastika had been given up with 
the advent of the Brown Shirts, well may have muttered "Ah, so 
that's where Mowgli hid it...",  but I don't think it would be a 
Bueno Vista these days...

It must be spring...
