I first heat about him (among some other examples) in Dissolving Illussions book.

How the “doctors” were insulted that somebody can suggest that they have dirty hands.

I bet that you do not learn this stuff in medical school.

There you learn only the Science and the most important things that your new best friends from Pfizer, GSK, Merck and etc. wants you to preach.

I'll believe it when I see tangible proof with my own eyes is my position on aliens.

Another good (i.e. funny) "theory" I like is that aliens are just some species of dinosaur returning to Earth.

It goes like this: Dinosaurs as a group "ruled" for over 100 000 000 years, so it stands to reason that some species of them would have developed intelligence, and therefore technology - just compare it to how long we and our ancestor-apes been around.

Therefore, they knew the comet was coming and built Arks, and slingshotted a course around the Sun to Alpha Centauri to re-settle there. Now, they have the tech to go here much faster and after receiving radio from Earth ca 5 years after strong enough transmissions began, they got curious and wanted to go looking at what developed after they left.

Harr, I wonder why no-one brought up 'space Nazis' or 'Antarctica' yet…

I first heard about him when I explored the work of Louis Ferdinand Celine who wrote a short dissertation/novella about him. From what I understand doctors would go straight from autopsies to delivering babies and well you can imagine the results.

Celine himself was a doctor in Paris and despite coming across as a bit of a misanthrope would often treat the poor for little or nothing. He remains controversial for writing an anti semetic pamphlet in the 30’s. That’s one of the only works of his I haven’t read in translation as it is impossible to find as you would expect. But of all of his other work I found no evidence of those sentiments in any of them.

Well if we're opening up Pandora's Box here, I've heard many fine theories, but this one was new to me (and pretty wild):
