planterA bone doctor
I don't know who the author is or the name of the book. It was a story I read about 35 years ago. I believe it was a short story collection. Story about a man who goes to a bone doctor (don't know if they specified chiropractor) and visit by visit the doctor removes his bones. Anyone out there know this story?

dandelion"Skeleton," by Ray Bradbury--definitely not about your average patient or bone doctor!

RichardI wonder if today's FRANK & ERNEST cartoon was inspired by a certain Ray Bradbury story?
