NOTE: This picture was made entirely without the co‑operation of any medical association! Poor Jerome Littlefield dreams of becoming a doctor, but his extreme squeamishness makes that impossible. He takes a job as an orderly at the Whitestone Sanitarium, and his nervous attempts at caring for patients spark a series of comic mishaps that keep both the patients and the audience laughing out loud.
