Need the Doctor, you could not only ask the operator to connect you with one but ask which one she’d suggest. Eventually, the phone system expanded beyond just local networks and started connecting towns, counties, states, and nations.

Area Code Day celebrates the solution that has become a part of our everyday existence ever since"

Wed 8th Nov is.... X-Ray Day "A t the end of the 19th century, while studying the effects of passing an electrical current through gases at low pressure, German physicist Wilhelm Rontgen accidentally discovered X-rays—highly energetic electromagnetic radiation capable of penetrating most solid objects. His discovery transformed medicine almost overnight. Within a year, the first radiology department opened in a Glasgow hospital, and the department head produced the first pictures of a kidney stone and a penny lodged in a child’s throat. Shortly after, an American physiologist used X-rays to trace food making its way through the digestive system. The public also embraced the new technology—even carnival barkers touted the wondrous rays that allowed viewing of one’s own skeleton."(http://www.the-scientist.com/?articles.view/articleNo/30693/title/The-First-X-ray--1895/) The Nobel prize for physics was awarded to Roentgen in 1901 for his discovery of X-rays.
