* DudeNotFunny: In universe, in the episode "Elegy for a Mad Dog." Welby is bitten by a dog that maybe didn't have his rabies shots. The dog is owned by a special needs teenager, who is mercilessly teased by his younger brother and his buddies. When the younger brother learns that the dog may be rabid and has attacked someone, he's just sure that the victim will begin acting "funny," all for a few yuks. Welby – who as it turns out will be fine – decides to use his experiences by talking to the boy's class at school, educating them about rabies and the need to tell an adult immediately if they are bitten.

* LIsForDyslexia: One teenage patient of the week is being berated at the breakfast table for his bad report card. He becomes increasingly upset before finally yelling, "I'm sorry!" and running out the sliding glass door. Um, ''through'' the sliding glass door. He'd thought it opened the other way, and had cut himself badly on the glass. In taking him to the doctor for his injuries, guess what the family discovers he has.

"'''''Marcus Welby [=MD=]'''''" was a groundbreaking MedicalDrama starring Robert Young as the title character and James Brolin as his young partner, Steve Kiley.

Welby was a family practitioner with a kind bedside manner, who was on a first name basis with many of his patients (and who also made house calls). Welby's unorthodox way of treating patients often conflicted with the more strait-laced methods of Kiley, but as the two worked together they learned something from each other. Many issues of the day were addressed, helping to make the show a major hit on ABC.

Elena Verdugo played Welby and Kiley's dedicated and loving nurse and office manager, Consuelo Lopez.
