Dr. Feelgood tells the shocking true stories of the symbiotic relationships between celebrities and their doctors; professionals whose drug prescriptions or procedures led to controversy, mystery and ultimately tragedy for their notable clients.
It questions whether a doctor really can remain objective when immersed in the world of their celebrity clients. And, crucially, where the responsibility lies; with the user, or the doctor who put the drugs in their hands?
We're supposed to trust doctors with our lives. And, in return, they're supposed to heal us when were sick and put us on course for a healthy life.
But what happens when the person you've entrusted with your wellbeing is doing more harm than good? Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, Anna Nicole Smith and many more like them lived their lives in the public eye, adored by millions, but privately fighting their own personal demons.
For those in their inner sanctum, the lines between personal and professional often became blurred and that sometimes even included their doctors.
