I am well aware of the history of medical malpractice. Gino Bartali won the Tour de France before and after WWII, and during the war he smuggled inside his bicycle frame fake documents from the forger to the priest who gave them to Italian Jews A doctor prescribed him cigarettes, to which he remained hooked for life. Semmelweis was the doctor who figured out that handwashing between patients (and cadavers) would drastically reduce infection rates. He was labeled a "spreader of misinformation" and his career was destroyed for telling the truth. Dr. max Jacobson gave Mickey Mantle an amphetamine injection in the fall of '61. The needle hit Mickey's hip bone and caused an infection that made him drop out of the home run race with Roger Maris. We may owe a debt of gratitude to the quack Hugo Morrel, Hitler's doctor, who prescribed him meth, which made him paranoid, so he didn't trust his generals, and told them how to do their job.
. I don't use doctors. My chronically ill, pill-popping friends say I'm crazy not to at least get annual checkups and bloodwork. Whatev.
