Great question. It has been a mixed bag. Some are grateful and others unhappy that I have exposed the dark side of their profession. I continually preach that the overwhelming majority of health care professionals are honest, hardworking, dedicated individuals who perform miracles every day.

After the successful investigation of Dr. Swango, I began getting calls from all over the world about these types of cases. The most recent one in Germany where a nurse killed over 100 of his patients

The ability of these killers to convince staff and patients families that they were actually competent caring professionals

There are always one or two associates who become suspicious but the majority of coworkers don't want to believe that one off their own is intentionally murdering patients

That a lot of really good questions. There are 26 red flags identified in my book but the short answer is the repeated administration of drugs to patients that were not prescribed these drugs. For instance epinephrine or insulin to a patient that had no medical necessity for these drugs.

Many of these killers suffer from Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy. They intentionally harm a patient to show the staff how well they respond to a medical emergency code
