Doctors Who Kill

Doctors Who Kill

by Carol Anne Davis (Author)

Synopsis

Trust me, I'm a doctor - 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 stories behind these healers who became murderers. The inclusion of in-depth analyses and exclusive interviews with experts in the fields of mental health and criminology, makes for fascinating and chilling reading.
