    Retired Doctor lives in a dump.

    I like the actor Dabbs Greer. He was on lots of things back in the day. Twilight Zone, Andy Griffith Show, Little House on the Prairie and much more. In this Emergency episode he is playing a retired doctor who is ill. But here's the kicker: he lives in a dump. It is a crummy old apartment building that has clearly seen better days. The whole place looks seedy. So, I have to ask, what did this retired doctor do with all his money to end up here? Looks like he failed to plan for old age.
