Why Isn't Every American a Doctor?

In the late 1890s, every state government saved three in the United States had repealed licensing laws for doctors. This was due to a populist movement that had swept the country against the idea of highfalutin educations and licenses. John Brinkley started traveling around as what was known as a Quaker doctor at this time. He met an old firm from school named Sally Wilk who told him he didn't need to waste money on medical school. Now with his new wife became Dr. Brinkley.
