Wrong Diagnosis

Illustrator: Harry J. Schaare

He is credited on the back cover.

Dr. Ben Grady: New to the hospital staff, the older doctors watched every move he made.
Lisa Eldridge: She watched the attractive new doctor too, but for different reasons.
Tony Conrad: Playboy heir to a lumber fortune, no doctor was going to tell him how to spend his money or when to drink his liquor.
Susan Pritchard: She knew Ben liked her—as a woman—but why did he tell her, “You’re my nurse, Susan, nothing else.”

Doctor on Call

He is credited on the back cover.

The attractive young doctor sat by his patient’s bedside, his strong hands holding hers. “You want this baby,” he said, “and you’re going to have it. I’m going to give you your baby...and your life.” Brian Temple was many things to many women—to Margaret Lenssen he was the brilliant doctor who promised to bring her child safely into the world; to Carol Bishop he was a dashing playboy, an exciting challenge; and to Nurse Ann Forester he was the man she would love forever—no matter what.

Doctor’s Bride

Title: Doctor’s Bride
Author: Elizabeth Seifert

Illustrator: Chuck Miller

The signature in the lower right-hand corner is the same signature for Timberline Nurse, which I have attributed to Chuck Miller.

The first months of marriage were not easy for Dr. Turnbeau’s lovely young bride, Julie. There were long lonely nights when Rolf worked in his lab until dawn. There were the demands of the patients who claimed so great a share of her handsome young husband’s dedication. All this Julie was prepared to face. But when glamorous and sophisticated Shannon Rorick returned to town, Julie’s heart was thrown into turmoil. Could she face this challenge from her husband’s past—the challenge of a love that had not died?

Illustration magazine, issue #9, page 69, lists Gerald Gregg as the illustrator.

When lovely young Shirley Davidson ran away from her tyrannical father, fate (and the kindness of Matron Anna Marsden) fulfilled her lifelong dream-she became a student nurse. — Then, as if she weren't already bursting with happiness, she fell in love — But there were complications (and heartbreak) ahead. For hamdsome Dr. Gerald Trent, though irresistibly drawn to Shirley, was already engaged to Anna MarsdenAnd Shirley would rather die than to do anything to hurt the woman she worshipped, who had given her her first chance for a decent life.

Night Call

Title: Night Call
Author: Adeline McElfresh
Publisher: Dell
Copyright: 1961
Illustrator: Robert Abbett

His signature runs down the back of her dress.

To Nurse Lyn Jennings, hurrying through Carter Memorial’s cool white corridors, emergencies were part of the life she had chosen—the challenging, exciting world of a hospital at night:
—in 212, a lonely, crying child, afraid to go to sleep without its mother—
—in the driveway, an ambulance shrieking to a halt after a race with death, bearing the victims of a highway collision—
—in the darkened supply room, storage place for drugs and narcotics, a mysterious figure moving toward a cabinet, no longer able to resist temptation.
