Description | A true story. In 1963 Marge Farber visited Dr. Carl Coppolino for hypnotic treatment to help her stop smoking. Coppolino was an anesthesiologist and hypnotist, and author of "The Practice of Hypnosis in Anesthesiology." Several months later, Farber's husband was dead, under questionable circumstances. When Coppolino's wife dies several years later under similar conditions, Marge's recalls being under the hypnotic influence of Coppolino. She claims the he hypnotized her, seduced her, and made her inject her husband with a poison that leaves no trace - and she suspects he now did the same to his wife!
