In this tape, the Videofreex record their visit with Dr. Eugene Schoenfeld, then recognized widely for his popular medical advice column, Dear Dr. Hip Pocrates, which doled out information about sex and drugs. At the time of this session in November 1969, Schoenfeld had recently published a book based on his advice column, and was also serving as a member of the editorial board of Modern Medicine. His efforts to “free” medical knowledge coincided with a growing movement in the American medical field, in which doctors and students began to openly fight for health care for all, demanding it be treated as a human right rather than a privilege.
