Linda Hazzard: The Starvation Doctor

Linda Hazzard believed that fasting was the way to cure all illnesses. Despite not having a medical degree, she was licensed to practice medicine in the state of Washington through a legal loophole. She had an outgoing personality, leading to her practice becoming incredibly successful. Her hold was so strong that one of her patients ignored orders from a physician to stop fasting, but she died nine days later. Not wanting to draw anymore attention to herself, Linda opened a private "sanitarium" called Wilderness Heights, claiming that she could cure any ailment by starvation. Once she realized that her patients became weak and agreeable during their fasting sessions, she then forced them to sign over their possessions to her, but greed was finally what brought an end to the reign of the Starvation Doctor.
