Biographical information[]

Ethel Bedecker was a compassionate and duteous wife to her husband, Walter Bedecker. She lovingly cared for him, despite his obsessive hypochondriasis. Ethel had been subjected to her husband's whining complaints for so long that she had memorized them. Walter's imagined illnesses took much more of a toll on his spouse than on himself. Constantly having to run to attend to Walter's errands and demands, she herself became run down and was presribed vitamins by Mr. Bedecker's doctor, much to the husband's displeasure. His inflated ego rendered him unable to express any concern over his wife's condition, but only his own and the attention she was detracting from it. (TZ1: "Escape Clause")
