"Screened at Cinevent in 2019, Calling All doctors is a crowd-pleasing comedy about a hypochondriac and the precarious situation his condition puts him in. Charley Chase catches something from his sneezing secretary so he goes to his doctor. While standing in the waiting room, a man approaches him and tells him his doctor is busy and that since he is also a doctor and can treat him instead. Truly he is a mental case who believes he is a doctor. He convinces Charley to take him home with him, and makes him go right to bed; then he crawls in with him. There are lots of laughs to be had from this..."
