As much as I dislike topics having multiple topics on a certain Austrian gentleman, I felt this was too interesting to pass up. I was looking through Wikipedia as a result of the School Debate - Was Hitler Insane? thread when I came across an article on Theodore Morell.
Apparently, Morrell was a German doctor known for his unconventional and dangerous treatments. He met Hitler in early 1936, after supposedly curing Heinrich Hoffman of gonorhea. Horrell promised Hitler that he could cure him of all of his medical problems in a year. Soon after, Theodore became a part of Hitler's inner circle.
Now the problem with Morrell is that he had absolutely no idea what he was doing. His drugs oftentimes worsened Hitler's condition. At one point, he perscribed Hitler with methamphetamines and cocaine eyedrops for mild stomach pains. Unsuprisingly, historians have regarded him as an opportunist quack. Hitler was esseintially the man's guinea pig until about the end of the war.
Horrell was a major influence on Hitler's health, both physically and mentally. A Hitler without Hoffman means a somewhat more rational and healthy man.
So, what if Morell is not given a recomendation by Hoffman and never meets Hitler?
