Western writer Max Brand [1892-1944] also wrote short stories & novels in other genres. His 1936 tale "Internes Can't Take Money" established the characters
of Dr. Kildare and his mentor, cranky Dr. Gillespie, about whom Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios made a series of popular Dr. Kildare movies from 1937 to 1942,
with novelizations by Brand and others. NBC-TV broadcast 190 episodes of a weekly TV series starring Richard Chamberlain & Raymond Massey from 1961 to 1966,
accompanied by paperback novelizations of several episodes. Those books are all mostly out of print; whatever is available in print and on DVD is being coded
