Vignettes depict the dangerous inroads made on German medicine by Nazis licensing politically qualified charlatans to practice, passing rigid laws prohibiting patients from seeking second opinions, and exacting legal penalties from 'race defilement' when doctors transfuse Jewish blood into 'Aryan' patients. Script by Ben Kagan and Directed by Frank Telford.
