Hitler's Quacks
Because Chancellor Hitler has chased 3,000 Jewish doctors out of Germany and revoked the licenses of the remaining 3,000, the Third Reich faces a serious shortage of physicians. To increase the number of "Aryan" doctors, Hitler last month announced that beginning April first, the period of medical education will be reduced by two full years. Last week he legally recognized Heilpraktiker (healing physicians) over 25 years of age. To practice medicine all a Heilpraktiker need show is an "intuitive ability" to cure the sick and three years of successful work in healing. Purpose of licensing practitioners who would be labeled quacks in most other countries, was said to be the eradication of quackery.
