Question: Why do the Owens go to the doctors to have their mail read? Even a small town like Grady would have a librarian, not to mention they certainly have friends who can read.
Doc Hollywood (1991)
1 question
Directed by: Michael Caton-Jones
Starring: Woody Harrelson, Michael J. Fox, Barnard Hughes, Julie Warner
Continuity mistake: As Doc is driving out of town near the end, he stops to help Mary, who is having a difficult birth inside the family station wagon. Doc backs up and parks his car, the front-end is partially across road. While he assists with the birth, a large truck is fast-approaching, only Doc's car is now sitting all the way across the road when it gets hit.
Nancy Lee Nicholson: Is that a star?
Hank Gordon: No, that's Ted Danson.
Trivia: It was while working on this movie that Michael J. Fox noticed the shaking of his hands which were the symptoms of Parkinson, the disease which prevents him from taking an active role ever since. His flexing his hands on the steering wheel at the beginning of the movie is him trying to keep his hands still.

Answer: That's just the long-standing relationship they had with Doc Hogue and assumed it would continue with Dr. Stone. Hogue was more than a doctor to the town folk. He was a strong father-figure that everyone felt they could go to for a variety of reasons. Also, this is a comedy film, so the characters and their situations are deliberately cliched and quirky.
