Caregivers that Kill in a Medical Setting

Murders by Caregiver
scupture by escher

People that are responsible for the care of a person of any age that have intentionally caused the death of that person.

One of the questions that these murders raise is related to other forms of "euthanasia" and withholding care.
Withholding care against the wishes of the patient is euthanasia. Withholding needed medications against the wishes of the patient is euthanasia. Preventing patients from getting necessary medical care is euthanasia. Patients with prepaid medical service coverage that have their life sustaining or necessary medical care discontinued because of an administrative order, or corporate cost containment agendas, or for personal employee financial gain such as in the form of bonus are being euthanized.

Law Enforcement and District Attorneys should remember that A CRIME of taking any life is one that should be investigated and prosecuted. Political purposes should never play a part in the refusal to prosecute these issues.

Caregiver serial killers probably may be responsible for more deaths each year than the transient sexual psychopath serial killers that receive much more public attention. Nevertheless, there has been little serious work profiling this group of murderers.

Healers in title only that Kill - A disturbing number of serial killers are found in the medical profession, making victims of the very patients who entrust the twisted healers with their lives. The reasons for their choice of a career in medicine (and murder) are admittedly complex, but one advantage is the ready-made supply of victims - often weak and helpless, sometimes even comatose - who are presented daily to the medical professional.
