All the Appalachian channels beat anything on the wretched, filthy Television of today. I love them. Let's face it how many episodes of Bonanza, Andy Griffith, and Gunsmoke can you watch over and over and over? These channels are better than anything Hollywood can conjure up to be sure.❤👍👍
Well, that was sweet! I grew up on the prairie of Indiana. Our doctor treated everything. I had a horrible kidney infection and they got Doc to the house via a snow plow and a tractor. He'd treated me multiple times and rarely smiled. He actually grinned when l went to him stating l needed vaccinated to go to nursing school. I think that decision made the ole feller proud. I bet through my 40 plus years of practice, that Doc was with me. ❤
JD... IT IS HARD FOUGHT TO LISTEN TO THE RADIO OR A STORY WHILE I AM "IN A MOOD".....( SHOWER, IN THE "OFFICE", OR DONT FEEL LIKE WATCHIN RERUNS ON TV ...) BUT THE STORIES ARE LONG ENOUGH TO GET ME BACK IN A GOOD MOOD.... THANK YOU!!!
It's amazing what we can learn from one another if we just shut the heck up and listen then learn from one another that was great to hear about the 2 doctors. Great story JD thanks
This is where I come to when I’m a bit overwhelmed with life and I just want to say thank you because listening to you is very calming . Blessings to everyone with health and happiness 🙏🏼❤🙏🏼
I absolutely love the Appalachian storyteller. I was born and raised in Georgia and these stories that you tell they're based on the truth remind me of my family and my grandmother and grandfather my 19 aunts and uncles and all my cousins it was the best time of my life. I greatly appreciate you putting this on this channel so they're all of us could feel a sense of home again. Thank you greatly!
I was raised in on the Cumberland plateau in the Adams, Cedar Hill area. Your stories are from the heart and always bring me back to the place I was raised. Thank You for seeing the good in people who were raised in places who others think are backwards. However, we know the truth of the matter! God Bless YOU!
Humility is a rare commodity along with Ole Doc. Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Through the love of his grandson Ole Doc found Humility and respect for this young doctor and his new fangled medicine. Cool story, enjoyed.
You, sir, r my new “CRACK”!!! Just found u today the Melungeon video. I’m from West Virginia and there’s Melungeon in my family. Thank u for that video, by the way. I forgot how much I missed hearin these stories and I LOVE listening to u tell them. It’s like story time on the radio! I’m not old enough to remember that far back but I do remember my family telling stories like this! THANK U for reading these stories!
I also love all of the Appalachian mountains stories. I'm from Western NC mountains in Haywood County and am very proud of my heritage. My grandma talked about the Doctor of our town back in her times. Growing up a doctor still came to my grandma's house if anyone was sick. My grandparents, mom, dad seen The Doctor (Sr), I saw him and his son (Jr) and the wife of his son. Wonderful people.
In my neck of the woods we had Ole Doc Douglas. I can't count how many times I was sent to bring him for help when I was a youngen. And he always came running with his bag. I do miss those days. I'm never going to these government doctors they've got now.
Just love your storytelling, left with a feeling of awe. Love from my heart to yours. Strange how often we can’t articulate what it is we feel, about things like that. One of the wonders of being human.
Thank you Maria, it makes me happy when these stories connect with folks like you. I leave myself vulnerable each time I share one of these stories and brace myself for the worlds reaction. It blesses my heart to know that folks like you listen.
I remember as a child, I was really sick and the doctor came over to my house and said if my fever hasn’t gone down in an hour, I will have to go to the hospital. I am 69 years old so this would’ve been in the 1960’s😊
Your videos have top position on my Saturday to do lists. Thank you so much. Your fiddle sets my soul ready for a great day and your stories warm my heart. God bless you dear.
Awesome story! I can't get enough of this channel. I usually watch movies on UA-cam in the evening. Yesterday, I watched nothing but these stories; till I went to bed around midnight! I may do it again tonight! lol
Another fantastic piece of storytelling JD! I reckon we’ve had similar experiences here in Australia over the years, probably still happening in some parts. Thanks for your obvious research and dedication to the Mountain people. 👍🏻
The stories told on here have floated around since they happened. Luckily folks have passed them down, telling them around the stove or fireplace after dinner, or around the campfire while camping or fishing. Now the Appalachian Storyteller has researched them and is getting them beyond the community that they've been confined to for years. Thanks J. D.
I'm damn sure not the emotional type and it's been a long while since this face felt wetness outside of the rain or the shower... But between the happy ending of the story and more importantly your narration, floodgates and water works definitely came over it... It's a wonder you don't have 10 million subscribers. You're a genius of your craft kind sir!
A side note, what beautiful music. Irish traditional music at its simplest and best is quite similar. Jigs and reels, and occasionally a polka. No singing, that’s a bit different. Fiddles, concertina, tin whistle, maybe a flute to be fancy. There’s probably some interesting historical link, but I don’t know. Thank you.
thank you, JD, for this wonderful video! this story mimics the 1979 movie "the incredible journey of dr meg laurel" with Linsey Wagnor, if you have not seen this movie, you will love it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
My daddy's family comes from Morgantown, West Virginia. And this kinda gives me a glimpse into what my family was like. Oh, and my husband's family comes from Webster Springs, and Diana, West Virginia.
This reminds me of my grandmother’s always telling us about the mountain remedies that got her through this or that sickness. She was happy for modern medicine but she always swore (when our illnesses weren’t too severe and she would try to tell us to do this or that as a cure instead of “spending unnecessary money on expensive and unnatural ‘medicines’”) by the mountain remedies of her childhood.
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller - I love science of virtually every kind. But I'm also a fairly adept herbalist and good enough bush doctor (brother was Army medic) to keep myself out of the tlc of modern medicine *most* of my life So I was delighted when my beloved scientists figured out why the tree frog wound remedy does work! (Forget burying a dishrag under the back steps to keep your mil away - mine was from hell and I had to run her off physically .... but as Brent Terhune says, I digest ... ) When you tie Froggy belly down over a wound, he thinks he's under attack himself and therefore exudes a natural antibiotic from his belly for his own protection. When he stops wriggling, that means he's given up so then you need to find yourself another frog to continue the disinfecting. I follow several popular science outlets from professional sources, so this isn't any kind of mumbo jumbo. But it amuses me no end when formal science verifies a time-honored and extremely effective home remedy. Pioneer types didn't have access to even the best established medical care of their era; so they had to know their stuff or die before their time. It was that simple.
Thank you so much for such wonderful stories of my Appalachian forefathers. As I look outside my window at the Blue Ridge mountains I can just feel their presence through your mesmerizing words.
God has a way of moving in a situation to teach a lesson. The new ways are good and the old ways of herbs and natural remedies can also be used to help people, one side learning from the other.
I'm not going to lie I was super nervous listening to this story. Some of the stories you tell do not have happy endings so I really had no idea how this story was going to end. Sure am glad it had a happy ending. Another great story, keep em coming. Thanks

Thank you so much Jason!
I’m binge watching your channel! I can’t get enough of it. Every story is something to behold.
Thank you Catherine! and this is a great story of how a old time mountain doctor clashed with a young doctor with a "sheep skin" from some school

Thank you so much, my friend that was a sweet comment
A side note, what beautiful music. Irish traditional music at its simplest and best is quite similar. Jigs and reels, and occasionally a polka. No singing, that’s a bit different. Fiddles, concertina, tin whistle, maybe a flute to be fancy.
There’s probably some interesting historical link, but I don’t know. Thank you.
Oh, and of course the banjos!
thanks so much for that, I am a musician myself and I put as much thought and effort into the music as I do the story itself.
