Good ol' "Doc"! He got that nickname after the found out he'd been treatin' folks 'round these parts without a license or any semblance of formal training. Did a stretch for that, he did, but you got to hand it to the man, he came back to town when it was done, as if to show he'd paid his debt. Folks couldn't really disagree with that, and before long he was heading out inton the countryside with a rifle and unrelated teen boys.
