S1E30 / A Second Wave? / Howard Markel

Cocaine - most people today know it as an incredibly addictive drug.  In fact, national statistics show nearly half of all drug-related emergency room visits are due to cocaine abuse.  But, cocaine used to be regarded as a "miracle drug."  In this interview with New York Times Bestselling author Howard Markel, learn how cocaine was once thought to cure everything from morphine addiction to flatulence.  Many late 19th century doctors not only prescribed the drug to family, friends and patients, they experimented with it on themselves searching for medical breakthroughs.  Two renowned fathers of medicine, Sigmund Freud and William Halsted (credited with several advancements still used in modern surgery including the invention of rubber surgical gloves) quickly turned into "accidental" cocaine addicts as a result of their research.  In this interview, Markel reveals their secret drug addicted lives, discusses the continued problems of cocaine use and warns agains the next "miracle drug."

They are considered fathers of modern medicine: Sigmund Freud for his advancements in psychoanalysis, and William Halsted for the many surgical breakthroughs he made in the operating room.  And yet, both men battled an addiction to cocaine.  Acclaimed medical historian and pediatrician Howard Markel reveals how scientific research lead these men down a path of "accidental" addiction to what many perceived as the "miracle drug" of the 1880s, cocaine.  Markel's chat on his New York Time's best-selling book, "An Anatomy of Addiction" not only discusses the extent of the doctors' addictions to cocaine, but how the public's perception of the drug changed from excited advocates of its perceived benefits to disdain for those who became addicted to it.
