There was a medical wagon? All I ever got was Doc Henderson and a penicillin pill the size of an eraser that he insisted on blowing down my throat with a tube!

There was also a med wagon on Cole Bros. RBBB carried a doctor back into the 1920s, maybe before. There's a "Bandwagon" article by Robert J. Loeffler on the topic, July-Aug 1970: "There Is a Doctor in the Tent!" They didn't have penicillin back then, be glad for what you received. Lots of folks died from simple infections.
