Doctor
The small-town medical practioner might be called on to treat a variety of ailments, from inflamed tonsils to gunshot wounds. Many towns didn’t have their own dentists, so practitioners such as these traveled from town to town, or at the very least tended to citizens from several neighboring communities. Wyatt Earp’s gunslinging friend Doc Holliday was trained as a dentist, which gave him his nickname. Again, there are countless examples in film and TV, from the whore-tending Doc Cochran in Deadwood to female healers in Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman and in Ron Howard’s film The Missing.
