Question: Why do the Owens go to the doctors to have their mail read? Even a small town like Grady would have a librarian, not to mention they certainly have friends who can read.
Doc Hollywood (1991)
1 question since 19 Jul '19, 00:00
Directed by: Michael Caton-Jones
Starring: Woody Harrelson, Michael J. Fox, Barnard Hughes, Julie Warner
Continuity mistake: When Doc Hollywood first enters the room to save Dr. Hogue, the doctor has both hands on the table. The camera angle changes to a front view and Dr.Hogue now has one hand on his chest and one on the table.
Dr. Benjamin Stone: You want to trade, the pig for the part?
Melvin the Mechanic: If you can part with the pig.
Dr. Benjamin Stone: Good.
Trivia: When Doctor Stone meets with Bridget Fonda and Woody Harrelson at the bar in Beverly Hills, Bridget says "Is that a movie star?" and Woody says, "Nah, that's just Ted Danson" (a dig at Woody's then costar on 'Cheers').

Answer: That's just the long-standing relationship they had with Doc Hogue and assumed it would continue with Dr. Stone. Hogue was more than a doctor to the town folk. He was a strong father-figure that everyone felt they could go to for a variety of reasons. Also, this is a comedy film, so the characters and their situations are deliberately cliched and quirky.
