Dr. Max Jacobson (3 July 1900 – 1 December 1979) was a German physician and medical researcher who treated numerous high profile clients in America, including President John F. Kennedy. Jacobson came to be known as "Miracle Max" and "Dr. Feelgood" because he administered highly addictive “vitamin shots” laced with various substances that included amphetamine and methamphetamine.
Largely unknown to the public until his methods were exposed by The New York Times in 1972, Jacobson was charged with unprofessional conduct and fraud in 1973. He eventually lost his medical license in 1975. Jacobson died in December 1979 having never regained his medical license.
