What drove Harold Shipman to murder
over 200 of his elderly patients? Why did Beverly Allitt kill the babies in her
care? This book examines the formative influences and careers of British,
American and European doctors, nurses, dentists and paramedics.
Going beyond the usual
killers-on-the-ward compendiums, Davis examines surgeons who killed their wives,
dentists and doctors who murdered their children for profit and paper mask
doctors guilty of gross malpractice.
It features up to date information on
landmark cases and includes unique interviews with psychologists and journalists
with in-depth knowledge of the cases.
