My Great-Grandma’s 1950 Medical Bill — Healthcare, Vintage Style

I recently came across my great-grandma’s medical bill from 1950, and wow—talk about a blast from the past! The paper is yellowed, the handwriting elegant, and the charges shockingly low by today’s standards.

Back then, a doctor’s visit was a simple affair, without surprise fees or confusing insurance jargon. This bill lists basic treatments and medicines with prices that seem like a bargain today—if only we could time-travel and pay with that! It’s a fascinating glimpse into how healthcare once worked: straightforward, handwritten, and maybe a little less complicated (though probably less high-tech). A true relic of medical history.
