Character details

First Name
Edwin A. 'Doc'
Last Name
Vollmer
Notes
M.D. Wolfe's consultant where a physician is needed. Wolfe likes him. Always accepts a beer when he calls in the evenings. He leaves abruptly after business is finished. His house and office is one minute (60 yards)from the brownstone. His brownstone still has a vestibule (Mr Wolfe removed his years ago to make the front hallway bigger). Once signed a medical certificate that Mr Wolfe was batty. Once took 22 stitches in Archie's side when a character "went wide enough but not deep enough". Short. Spectacled.
