Call the Doctor is the second album by the punk band Sleater-Kinney. It was released on March 25, 1996 on Chainsaw.
Allmusic praised the album, saying: "Forget the riot grrrl implications inherent in the trio's music — Call the Doctor is pure, undiluted punk, and it's brilliant."[1] The album also appeared at number 49[4] on Rolling Stone magazine's list of best albums of the nineties.
