Back Home: John’s Fever
One of the teachers from “The Mumps” doesn’t follow up with his doctor. His finance and Dr. Sarah teach him a lesson. (1971)
This is another story in the Back Home series set in the late 60s and early 70s when temperatures were either oral or rectal. It is a short sequel / spin off story from Back Home: The Mumps and will make more sense if you read that first, at least through the "John's Turn" chapter.
