Doctors
have a special position in society. They are looked
up to as healers and trusted friends. Very often patients and their
relatives come to rely implicitly on their judgment even beyond purely
medical matters. It is therefore all the more shattering when that
trust is betrayed and the healer is revealed to be a killer.
KILLER DOCTORS examines thirteen cases of doctors who have cruelly exploited their privileged positon to kill for lust, greed and power. There is the vicious wife murderer John Baksh; the story of John Branion's extraordinary flight from justice; and the homicidal odyssey of Washington-born Michael Swango, who murdered his way across two continents. We learn all about the father who first insured his sons for vast sums of money before gunning them down, and the New Jersey doctor who learned that the supposedly untraceable drug he used to kill his wife had been detected by New York's top toxicologist. This is a macabre but highly entertaining examination of the most extreme form of medical malpractice — premeditated murder! |
