Description

Everyone knows the Academy award winning film Amadeus, where a dramatic jealous-ridden  Antonio Salieri contributed to the death of Mozart. But what you probably don't know is a man named John Taylor was complicit in the death of two other musical giants;  Johann Sebastian Bach and George Friedrich Handel.  And the greatest irony of all...he was their eye doctor. Join us this week on Scoundrel: History's Forgotten Villains as we dive deep into the scandalous, tumultuous and at times barbaric world of 18th century European ophthalmology to uncover the many blindings and killings of Dr. John Taylor.
