Jordan Rausch explores the history of JFK and his white house drug dealer Dr. Max Jacobson aka Dr. Feelgood. JFK grew up sickly and in pain. By the time that he was campaigning for president, he could barely manage the fatigue and muscle pain that plagued him daily. Dr. Max Jacobson offers JFK a mysterious drug concoction. The Secret Service and Robert Kennedy are very suspicious of Jacobson, but JFK keeps him close by in case the need of another shot arrives.
