Trust me, I'm a doctor
What would drive a child prodigy turned brilliant doctor to murder
his wife? Why would a Scottish nurse resort to murdering the elderly
patients under his care? What motive could a promising Harvard
medical student have for attacking her friend and roommate?
At their best they cure disease, look after the sick, and are sworn
to 'do no harm'. So what leads a small minority of healthcare
workers to a life of violent crime? From Beverly Allitt, the
attention-seeking nurse who preyed on the children in her care, to
the infamous Dr Harold Shipman, who was responsible for the deaths
of at least 215 of his patients, Carol Anne Davis delves into the
tragic stories behind these healers who became murderers. Including
in-depth analyses and exclusive interviews with experts in the
fields of mental health and criminology, this makes for fascinating,
and chilling, reading.
