Dr. Hank is the doctor, therapist, physiologist, and dentist in Possum Springs, and once treated Mae for her mental illness.
Background[]
There isn't much known about Dr. Hank, other than that he is a medical doctor of some kind in or around Possum Springs. Due to a lack of other medical professionals in the town, he also serves as a therapist, physiologist, and even a dentist. Unfortunately, it seems that his knowledge of other medical fields is rather lacking, resulting in patients getting lackluster or even outright harmful treatment. The few people who mention Dr. Hank don’t seem to have a high opinion of him, including Mae.
He was called in to diagnose Mae after the incident that occurred at the softball game. It’s unknown what’s he diagnosed her with, if anything, but he ultimately prescribed her with a journal to write her thoughts down and to help keep her 'grounded', which Mae claims sort of works. He also told her to 'repress' her anger issues, which only lead to further problems for Mae.
He also treated Selmers, providing her with a journal as well. This attempt was not very successful, and Both Mae and Selmers think that Dr. Hank doesn’t know what he’s actually doing when it comes to psychiatry, just handing patients journals and calling it a day,
Trivia[]
- Bea considers Dr. Hank's treatment to be not very effective, almost ridiculous. She states that he should stick with standard medicine, rather than delve into mental illnesses as well.
- Dr. Hank messed up something with one of Gregg's tooth fillings. Gregg thinks Dr. Hank kinda sucks, probably because he does everything.
