Winston Churchill received the greatest doctor’s note during the 1930s, on this date.
Besides defiant hand gestures, iconic speeches, cigars and dapper hats, Winston Churchill is also renowned for his love of alcohol. Whiskey in particular. In 1931, Churchill was involved in a car accident which left him with chest pain, as well as having bouts of depression to contend with. Because of this, he was granted a Doctor’s note in 1932, by Otto C. Pickhardt (clearly an associate of Dr. Hugo Z. Hackenbush,) for his time in the United States This allowed him drink an “indefinite” amount of alcohol for his duration of time in the Prohibition-era United States.
