Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Suffering an appendicitis attack, Mike is rushed to the hospital. End of story? Not quite: Mike's surgeon is a woman, a fact which sparks a "chauvinist vs. feminist" argument between Archie and Gloria. Much to Gloria's dismay, Mike agrees with Arch that a woman's place is not in the operating room. Ann Summers appears as Dr. McKenzie, with John Zaremba as the anesthetist. Written by Michael Ross and Bernie West, "Mike's Appendix" originally aired on December 2, 1972.
