I went to Google to look for 4295 Brockton Avenue. It's my birthplace. It was Riverside's Osteopathic Hospital until about 1961, when it became a psychiatric clinic. Years later, when my family moved to nearby Colton, it had become a secretarial college. That's what it was when I left California in 2006. It's also been the site of a bail bonds office. I don't know what it is now.
As a hospital, it was very small. There wasn't even a physician on duty. I was born at 1:15 AM, it was Saturday, but, to my parents, it was still Friday night.
For those who don't know, an osteopath is a physician who employs some chiropractic techniques. Most of my doctors have been osteopaths, but I've only known them to use "normal" medical practices.
Incidentally, Riverside, even though it's the largest city (312,000) of Riverside County, California, doesn't have very "urban" sounding house numbers. The hospital was located in the middle of the city.

I lived blocks from this hospital! In fact, I can remember rushing my daughter to it when she was a toddler. . . and she is now 43 years old. I even went to HS with a girl who's father was a doctor who practiced there.

I was born there also......did anyone else have Dr. Fulmor?
ReplyDeleteYes, I was born in 1950 and my Sister in 1948. Dr. Fulmor was the Doctor who delivered both of us. Years later (around 1998) I saw Dr. Fulmor at a Masonic Dinner. He was wonderful! He passed away in 2003.
