This Was A Thing: The Retro Podcast

57: Dr. Feelgood; Or, Walter White Goes to Washington


Listen Later

Having a tough day? Life got you down? Does your body feel like it’s suffering from a severe lack of goat’s blood, steroids, and placenta? Oh, and also meth? Then we know just what the doctor should order, and which doctor should order it!

Rob teaches Ray about the infamous Max "Dr. Feelgood" Jacobson, and his wide ranging celebrity clientele; his unsavory and unsanitary business practices; how his miracle vitamin shots played a key role in Cold War diplomacy; and the contemporary figures whose similarly flexible medical morals have earned them Mr. Jacobson’s unofficial title.
