126 | Pt3 | John R Brinkley From Charlatan to Prey

In part 3, we conclude our deep dive into the life and times of John Romulus Brinkley, a notorious medical charlatan known for his goat gland surgeries, and his rivalry with Morris Fishbine, a prominent figure in the American Medical Association. The discussion covers his rise and fall from fame, the legal battles he faced, the courtroom drama during his trial, and the eventual collapse of his empire. Further, we explore the ethical implications of his practices, the public's perception of him, and the lasting impact of his actions on the medical community and society at large, prompting thoughtful consideration of the lessons learned from Brinkley's story.Beer, Boos and Boogeymen (B3) :All the B3 Links: https://ghost.beer/Submit Your Stories: https://bcr.formaloo.me/submissionsB3 Insta: https://www.instagram.com/beerboosandboogeymen/ @BeerBoosandBoogeymen BCR Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠https://bcr.link/patreonRemember to follow us on Patreon for exclusive content and become part of our community!
