Why do these doctors always skate from prison?? Anna Nicole, Michael Jackson, Corey Haim, River Phoenix, the list is endless. Not to mention Dr. Nick (among others) who in my opinion killed Elvis Presley. Dr Nick over prescribed for Elvis, I have seen a copy of a prescription he wrote out for Elvis and it would have killed a horse.
The most extreme "Doctor" that got away with addicting and often killing his patients was Max JacobsonThe Notorious Dr. Feel Good had his license yanked but served NO prison time.
MAX injected amphetamines among other mysterious substances often with filthy needles to huge amounts of sports heroes, celebrities, politicians, and even President Kennedy and his wife Jacqueline. Max called them "vitamin" shots so often his victims had no idea that they were really becoming addicted to amphetamine in it's purest form (speed).
Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris were good friends. Mickey Mantle one of the greatest baseball players of all time died of liver cancer, chronic alcoholism and hepatitis C. Probably got the Hep C from the dirty needles used by Miracle Max Jacobson. Miracle Max (MM) was called in during the season of 1961 when Roger Maris and Mickey were both in line to break Babe Ruth's home run in a single season record. MM nearly killed Mickey. Mickey abscessed from the injection sites and was in the hospital when Maris broke the record.
Billy Crystal made a fabulous film called 61* which prompted this post today.

"Nice work Kim!"
thanks for posting th story about "Dr Feelgood" which contained a whole lot of information that I did not know, many hi-profile people affected.
Didn't Jacqueline Sussan characterize him in one of her novels? "Valley of the Dolls" perhaps?
Yes I an I think she did! I will research that and answer it in more detail tomorrow. Than you for the good comment! KIM
