Hitler's Quack Doctor

Theodor Morell, Adolf Hitler's quack personal physician, prescribed cocaine eye drops, heavy doses of oxycodone, and amphetamines to Hitler, sometimes administering them up to 20 times daily. To alleviate Hitler's excessive flatulence, he recommended "Doktor Koster's Antigas Pills," a concoction of atropine and strychnine.
